Where is our invite for a night out then? Beats having a first beer, getting caught looking at the totty out of the corner of my eye and have an argument for the rest of the night.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Learn to fly, buy a wee plane. Doesn't require any strenuous exercise, cheaper to run than a boat, visit lots more exciting places than ports full of the yellow welly brigade.
You could go to Florida and get your license in a couple of weeks but spend some time with an instructor back in blighty to get used to the local area and weather.Comment

Mrs OG is keen to move as well. She only came to the UK for 3 years and has been here now for 17 years. Financial imperatives mean that we need to work (at least one of us). Her profession is more mobile and mine is better paid so we need to find a magic solution.Originally posted by LightshipI have five years on you, OG.
I've been looking into moving somewhere 'exotic', but am having a hard time convincing Mrs LS to do the same. She's very risk averse, and likes the safety and security of predictability and familiarity. Having no children helps from both a financial and mobility perspective though.
Locations we've considered include Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Ecuador, Panama, Argentina. Still a work in progress.....Comment
