Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I've got mixed feelings on this topic, so I'll stay silent.

Fanboys in those days were just as bad as they are now.

Ahh I'm curious but I get why you would want to stay silent.

Very true about fanboys now, I'll take your word for it on how they were before.

Went to a little Holi get together. Kid had fun throwing color on various people gathered there.

Um...I've used cellphones that used to have 2.5mm jacks and proprietary ports...So when you bought a new phone from another OEM, the cables were worthless...3.5mm jacks weren't givens on smartphones.

So did I.

Are you real? One million? What for if I may ask? I just have those that I listen to, nothing besides that.

I'm 1800+ and I'm missing a lot of music still.

I doubt I know a million songs... I think I knew someone who had a similar goal.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'm at 25,000 songs. Include some songs I converted from ancient cassette tapes.
I'm sort of a completist, collecting by artist and their albums, plus the occasional singles.
I usually keep about 400-500 songs on the phone, but rarely listen to all of them...

Congrats on the new position. Same place?

Buying a house in the UK is not fun. I hated every minute of it and took a lot of the shine off the excitement. Then I had the renovations which added to the disappointment...

I guess you're getting close to your wedding now?

As for me, keeping well enough. Looking forward to my trip to Bordeaux and checking out some properties.

Yeah the job is in the same place which is handy for travelling costs etc, it's also why I stayed there for so long because I knew the opportunity would come up. At the moment we're in the awkward phase where a couple of people that have been made redundant are working their last weeks before the new roles start.

Are you moving to Bordeaux or outside of the Uk?

Nothing worse than redundancy situations. I've been through a few of those in my career. I luckily never got made redundant but the atmosphere is never great.

We're not moving to Bordeaux but that's the easiest airport and the flights were cheap.

We're eventually moving to France. When and where exactly is still up in the air. Currently we're just checking things out.

Well, 'when' will hopefully be within the next two years. We originally had a five year plan but we're worried about the economic outlook and house prices possibly slumping once the UK leaves the EU.

On top of that both of us have had enough of the rat race. I'm not a fan of the industry I'm in and I'd like more time for life, the commute has got to me. We have several business ideas so we'll have a diverse income.

I know there's no such thing as a perfect country or a perfect economic situation but from what we know France is a good place with friendly people and we feel we can make ends meet well enough so we don't have to worry.

Then I'll at least have some time to hopefully do things I want. We'll there's always hope right? LOL!

Genograms are always an interesting exercise.

Looks like my lineage is littered with British, Scot and Irish mixed in with Sierra Leone roots. Ah yes, there were slave masters in there too. And I may have gone to high school with some distant kin and wasn't made aware.

Family secrets...gotta love em...

I've been wanting to do a ancestry DNA test. I'm curious to know.

I probably have a mix of Scott, Brit and Irish, well I'm sure I have the Brit and Irish not sure of anything else though.

It's interesting to be able to talk to the "keepers of the history" in a family. In many ways, when people don't have access to their family roots, it can be very crippling.

No, wasn't really thinking of that....

Only if it's a late 80s or early 90s rap video...

Hot tub in the back, pimped out lowrider and hydraulic system for bouncing...

Sounds like fun...

Weather is really crap at the moment... We had one day of warm weather last week. Now it's cold, windy and rain.

First day of spring too...
