On my to do list, thanks

Not teaching my granny to suck eggs, just throwing that one out there for ya.

EDIT: Pants - not that I'm calling you a granny or anything

If you want to cover the fact, you can get yourself a SkypeIn UK number to put on your CV. No one need ever know!

I don't have an agent in the UK at the moment; I thought they would be put off if I said I was in India? Worse still offer me lower rates!

Where's the toilet flush smiley when you need it?

KC, your dastardly plans always have a flaw

[King Cnvt]

Hope you're right, I will be trying it out next year. Hope the world economy doesn't go down the toilet, while I have me feet up.

Not at all in fact I remember one instance when I took a weeks holiday, while in Munnar (is that possible a holiday while on holiday?) in the Alleppey backwaters (Venice of the east they call it), late in the evening me and the miss relaxing listening to the strange and wonderful sounds of nature, then the phone goes... an agent, I tell them I can be back in the UK in 48 hours no problem, and it's ok!!

Life is too short not to experience all there is to be had,

Between contracts I'm in Munnar in the Southern state of Kerala, beautiful countryside, quiet, and green, takes me about 6 hour's taxi ride from the port of kochi to the hills.

I remember sitting out on the patio 6000 feet up relaxing, listening to the wildlife, bliss... then there's an agent on the phone... is there no where I can go to escape them!!!

Hi Scooter, we are on the same track. I am setting up in Goa for the winter coming back to Europe, February. But as the weather is still sh!te, I want somewhere else to hang out.

[scooterscot]

Yes, but you have to live somewhere between contract. Nice beach, do a bit of diving, why not.

Thanks Rantor really cheered me up, I am buying in Sharm about 15 min from the airport so infrastructure should be ok. Crumbling mess is the current style I am told, but I think they call it Retro

Sorry!

Sharm is a diifferent market than the southern coast and it already has all the bits nù pieces in place.

Incredible amount of development down there these days. I hadn't been in Sharm for a few years until last November and it was incredible the amount of building that was going on, though I guess doubling the capacity of the airport is driving it.

Apart form the stressed reefs, the other thing that it was hard to miss was the sheer volume of perma-drunk russian tourists - threy seem to be worse than the british in that respect!

I am lending all my cash to New Labour. I really want to be Sir King ****.

Either on drugs or you should be.

[King Cnvt]

Ok KC what are you doing with all your contracting cash, or does wifey keep it all?

has anyone here bought in Croatia or nearby? It looks good but I think it's already very expensive; especially by the coast.

Did a trip out there last year, yes very expensive. Looked at some renovation projects as well, was put off when I found some of the property were been sold by European’s that bought 5 or more years ago and still had not got planning permission. They were making a profit mind.

Oh Dear.

A fool and their money eh?
