Oh here we go

Depends on why you're coming, where you're planning on living and what
you want to do while you're here. I've changed my lifestyle
immeasurably. I do a fair bit of sport now, gave up smoking and barely
drink alcohol (and don't miss it) compared to my London lifestyle. I
also don't miss my bike too much which I couldn't have imagined before
coming here. Swings and roundabouts, really.

Sounds like my idea of a living hell.

Well mine too obviously

Porl - Living His Antipodean Dream
Better?

 

There are no road taxes on private cars nor bikes. This was dropped
shortly after the petrol strikes.

Heh. Very, very true. Even the health system has got it's problems (as
seen first hand by my MiL who broke her ankle on Thursday).

 

That's probably a slight over exaggeration as there are other countries
are just as bad. However it is a centralised bureaucracy which creates
no end of problems and issues, IMO.

 

How would you know?

 

That cannae be a *whoosh* could it?

 

more likely a typical Scotch loss-of-humour thing.

 

No, I would say I have been thoroughly whooshed.

 

They have a SoH?

 

Cab says...

They stole it.

It's a line out of Trainspotting. Quite a memorable one at that.

 

Did he tell you straight or go the long way round?

 

Champ says...

Irvine Welsh told me.

Ah, I see. Never watched the film all the way through.
