    Too cold this time of year m8.

    I would say do Marbella, get on the beach, drink beer cans but it looks like its going to rain all week in that part Europe.

    Ibiza looks nice.

    But if its "not right" you may have missed a bullet.

    Sad anyway as you had so much investment in it.

    Ditto, I also thought the box was a wonderful idea - geeky yet romantic.
    Sorry to hear it was not to be.

    Oddly enough if you want lots of snow and ice, it has to be cold. It's due to get up to -3 this week and not below -20, pretty balmy

    Ouch. I thought the prices on the buffet car in Finland were expensive at €6 but that seems a bargain now.

    So come on then, how much is a pint of beer?
    The cost of living is high, agreed, and the increased tax is also not great, beer is about 8-9quid a pint depending on where you go, but i like the country a lot and as I have a long term contract here I figure I might aswell stay a while before deciding where to live.
