Nice Spaani. ;)

There was a sweet Skull knob in London I was after, but I hadn't eaten in 2 days...so guess what took priority. :(

I had miserable luck in the UK and spent many a night on park benches dreaming of food. :) :s :(

Decided I was not going to give up and persevered for 10 months going from what job I could get to the next, but none matched basic cost of living expenses.

Spent just about all my savings and in the end had to phone Home to organize cash for a ticket Home.

My two let-ups were a Jamaican ashtray (I don't smoke :?: ) which is too kewl, and a very scaled back trip to VolksWorld. Other than that, I never got to travel much due to the above, except for the changing of jobs. Newbury, Milton Keyes, London, etc.

Got a job here shortly afterwards and was much better off, even though I'd wished it had gone better over there.

I've now been to the UK twice and it's enough. The Pomes can keep their island...when the cars subside I'm hoping to go somewhere a bit more rugged...South America on a biking trip (MtB), or Vietnam and surrounds.

Cheers, N.

's up all?

'k, let's try this again...

Who can do some small woodwork for me?

I need a custom gearlever end, and a stock handbrake button, in Cherrywoodish colour...possibly a replacement steering wheel band and two buttons, too.
