Any good to live at? How much are bikes out there?

*Beautiful* part of the world. Pricey by US standards.

No clue.

Have you made a decision yet?

 

Krusty proposed

Not entirely, but had a pretty promising telephone interview today, and
the setup looks very interesting. Will probably know for sure within
the next few weeks.

 

Beav proposed

Not a million miles away from what I do.

No Shit, Sherlock.

 

Wicked Uncle Nigel proposed

S'what I heard, but can't be as bad a Oxford.

Thanks for playing though. ;-)

 

The best weather in the world, a beautiful, compact city, cheap bikes,
stunning roads, cheap vicodin from across the border. You'd be an
idiot not to.

Downside: $500,000 min for a house and how much do you like mexicans?

 

The area rocks, the bikes are cheap and the beer is cold.

 

Not as pricey as up here though.

 

Hell, no. The weather's crap, the women are ugly, the ocean's cold and
filthy, the people are obnoxiously materialistic, you'll have to deal with
earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires, awful traffic, ridiculous house prices,
gas is almost three bucks a gallon, car insurance costs are through the
roof, etc etc. Oh, and the locals on Mount Palomar Road are so pissed at
motorcyclists that they (allegedly) dump oil and/or sand on the corners.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Pliny the Welder amazed us all with this pearl of
wisdom:

Three bucks a gallon...

<dream mode>

What I'd give for three bucks a gallon...

 

Actually it's closer to $2.20/gallon right now, which is about 32 pence per
litre.

10p for me. Well, for my company. Well, for my customer.

 

That's part of the reason why it's so expensive over here. It'd be far
more efficient to export it in barrels rather than nets.

Of course we used to use barrels, but the extra security required to
stop cheeky Cockney chappies from rolling them away became too
expensive.


Mine's the navy blue Hilfiger - second hook from the left.

 

You haven't been to the South-East of England recently, then?

Better than I like the French.

 

IIRC it was around a pound[1] in January in Egypt.

When I was out that way (it is Kuwait you're in isn't it?) about 10
years ago, I seem to remember filling the car cost about 2 - 4 KD.

'bout the same now. 3.500KD for usual emptiness, 4.000KD if I'm
running on fumes.

 

apparently not. That's only about 270K ukp, isn't it?
