The Things You Are HAPPY About Thread.

Get to go on NZ1 again if I do go - Heathrow to Auckland with a drop off in LAX.

Why would you take the long way round?

Might be me missing the joke, but it goes Heathrow - drop off la - Auckland. Takes for ages, but a good way to get to LA as air NZ are fantastic.

My Mom did a stopover in LA on her way to NZ, it's not unusual (according to Tom Jones)

Nope, my bad, didn't read it properly.
Thought it was Heathrow - Auckland - LA

Jeez, could you imagine that flight? It'd be the worst, even in first class.

You can order drinks to your seat via the entertainment system, even in economy. Best. Thing. Ever.

I'd prefer the option to sedate myself until the landing.

 

[leedswolf]

I prefer the Mark sedated option too.

Best flight I ever had was on the way back from South Africa. Entire row to myself and I slept for all but about 30 minutes of the flight.

Funniest screening before a flight from Durban to Joburg with some samples of metal in a box.
Security : Is that a bomb ?
Me : No
Security : OK then

This sits between the happy and annoyed threads.

So, after my Dad popped his clogs in September, my Mom has been needlessly worrying about finances. Anyway, she found out today that Dad has financially sorted her out from beyond the grave. Great news.

What isn't so great is that my Mom AND my girlie girlfriend both want to move to the lake district. This isn't a whim, they're looking at properties and plan on us going to scout locations when the lock down is over.

Anyway, come the summer I'll be a single orphan.

Lake District is such a lovely area but I wouldn't want to live there, the traffic and overcrowding is horrendous, personally I would be looking at the very edge of the National Park........mind you thats probably because I hate the general public

 

[Pablowolf]

Thing is, I want to move to somewhere overlooking the coast, not a lake.

Helen and my Mom and two very drive women so my only hope is that there's stuff-all value to be had up there, property-wise.

Barrow is near both the Lakes and the coast..........

Sellafield too

Wait. What. Needs to be within commuting distance of the Golden Palace surely.

There are a number who come in from far away - it is still doable

 

[Pablowolf]

I'd still travel in for sure. I'd get lodgings at Red Wings or similar.

I'm hoping this all blows over and that it's a form of cabin fever they both have after living on Netflix for the past few weeks. It's insane how much TV they've watched.

So after being with the company I work at for 4.5 years. The old stamping manager who left before Christmas called me asking if I'd like an opportunity closer to home as he's the plant manager of a facility 20 mins away from where I live.
I have an interview tomorrow for a lead engineer role
I also just received a call from an ops manager I briefly worked with at Toyota asking if i ever want to move out west he has opportunities at the Giga factory in Nevada making teslas!
