Did you enjoy the cricket this weekend or did you blink and miss the kiwi's innings.

There has to be a certain type of person who can simply up sticks and move elsewhere. I watch some of these people on TV who want to move at a relatively young age and think dont they have any friends?

If you are young you have lots of time to make new friends. I have moved five times in my life so far and always new friends..and stayed in contact with a core set of my previous friends. It does get harder as you get older, and if you have kids.
