Hello there

[chef]

Morning all,

I know I've been afk for a while, a quick recap to save any later

German Gf chef and I have split up, no she didn't run off with someone else, no I didn't either, it just wasn't to be and better to discover that before marriage and kids came along. Perhaps the box was a sign

I'm now living in Sweden, happy, still in contract and enjoying the last of a summer break before back to work.

Sweden good points
- great people
- great seafood
- high quality of living
- cheaper house prices with lots of space for your money
- easy to integrate into
- Swedish is way easier to learn than german

Sweden bad points
- eye watering tax levels
- stupid state run alcohol monopoly
- high alcohol prices (luckily I'm living just a short trip from Denmark)

So, that's my update, what have I missed in the last 2 months?

P.s well done Brillo on your race

Nice to see you back. Sorry things didn't work out with gf - still the box idea's good for reusing on the next one!

My favourite break-up song:

ART BRUT - PEOPLE IN LOVE LYRICS

"People in love lie around and get fat - I didn't want us to end up like that."

Box?

She had a sign in hers that said "we should see other people"?

Box?

yep chef created a locked box to propose to GF chef, it never really got deployed, its a bit before ALF had a heart attack and after Kylie & Jason got married.

Good to hear you are well chef, getting plenty of fish & meaty comfort food?

can you not home brew over there?

There were updates - it all went a bit Pete Tong.
