    There's been other posts?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Well recalled Stevo.. Personally I was more a Jenny Agutter man, but after waving them at Train drivers I don't think she ever wore any!!!

    I'm with you there Tim - seem to remember first 'noticing' her when she played the hot nurse in 'An American Werewolf in London' :)

    Stevo is too tight for 2 cars, school fees and the like. If you hear a high pitched squeak in Bromley, it;s Stevo going for a walk.

    Goo, most of the above don't apply me :wink:

    Work hard, play hard is not a bad way to be. I can do the things I want and buy the stuff I want and not worry about money (not a big boast, my tastes are mostly quite modest :P ). Money stress is horrible and I find that the work actually gets less stressful as you climb the greasy pole as you're more in control of things. I took time out a few years back and got bored after a while. Can't imagine staying sane when I retire!

    What about interviews? Weddings? Funerals?

    Don't you like to look smart, just occasionally?

    Don't go to them. Not been to a wedding in 15 years, a funeral in 10 and my last job interview was for a job working for people I knew so very casual. I now work in a casual place in an industry making stuff for cars and other things. No-one we deal with wear suits, it's a very casual industry. If I wore a suit it would look out of place.

    I don't think suits are the only way to look smart enough for more formal events. However I try to avoid them if I can. Suits are uncomfortable, stuffy and generally expensive to buy ones that fit me and looks good. I'm tall and slim, no off the peg suit comes in my size which means tailoring to make one fit or to use a proper tailor service.

    How come you got all morose and philosophical Mr Goo?

    I have my moments, good/bad, philosophical/irrational, morose/cheerful.... But in truth I have wanted to live a simpler life for sometime, even if that means giving up cycling. In my earlier career (90s) I was a business analyst for a newspaper group, developing IT systems (until redundancy). When doing this I couldn't for the life of me get an answer as to why the powers that be required half the stuff that was being worked on. I came to the answer that it was because they could do it and it could be done, never mind that it made no sense or was pointless. And today I think the same. Technology is a wonderful thing, and I marvel at mobile technology, am astounded in medical sciences and love the advance in space exploration etc. But cannot think why half the stuff is done.
    If I could live on a small holding, and grow/rear what I need to survive, go back to just having a landline phone just for contact and emergencies. Then that would be ideal.

    sit down and drink another coffee?


    Back on the suits thing from a page ago or so, I find them comfortable, they look good, give a good impression, importantly I feel good in one. Do I sit around on a sunday morning in a suit? No, but I'd happily throw on a shirt and jeans instead of slacks/sports gear. Tend to use slacks (cotton trousers) for lounging in the house and sports gear when I am involved in sport. It is each to their own but for various reasons about myself I find I am generally in a better state of mind when I get up and dress up.

    The idea of the mountain life is great, not sure I could actually manage it no matter how much I love the hills and outdoors. I also think I prefer the beach, though I do less sports on the water than I do on the hills in this country

    I've got to agree with you Goo.

    The things that we can do as a race are quite amazing but you have to wonder if it's all a bit futile really because I'm sure at some point in the future if we continue as we are we're going to feck this place right up.

    I think the trouble is that most people feel compelled to better themselves, which is fine, I like to have decent things that are within my relatively modest means, but there are plenty of people who will stop at nothing to have the best at any cost.

    When people can afford this that's great but sadly many can not truly afford it but still see a need to have these things which inevitably means they'll get into debt to achieve the things they think they need (which in reality they don't need at all).

    It's this side of human nature that I dislike to be honest and the reason why I would remove myself from society if I could.

    Removing yourself from society/system is a lot more difficult than remaining in the system, hiding amongst the bewildered herd will always be easier.

    Self sufficiency is tough. I have just finished sawing logs with a hand saw. :D

    Reducing electrical consumption to a point where I could live off grid was difficult but possible:D

    The people who need the stuff that the other people have got want it so bad that they think need it and if they get it it might not be what they need even though they thought that they needed it just like the one's that got it thought they needed it and in the process made the people who haven't got it need it the stuff that the other people have got...

    My word you have a remarkable memory. Must be the sun down their on the Iberian peninsular. I am not against renewable/alternative energy, but question the location of the giant off shore wind farms and in particular question the motives of quite a few of the proponents of said installations. ie Mr Clegg.
