andyfr1968 772 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) I did try this being married thing ( heck I'll try anything once ) 6 month down the road I decided its not for me and got a divorce ( again I'll try anything once ) So been there done it read the book got the t shirt. Now I do whatever I want and If a girl wants to tag along its fine by me but I am not going to change my ways for anyone. Its a case of live with it or don't. I am not going to tie myself up to anything or anyone. If I feel I need a change of country I'll just go and do it. This way I have gotten to know more places then most people have seen on a map. In a year or two I am going to move to Mexico and live there, because I can. ATB Michael At least you're better adjusted to it than I seem to be. I work for myself and my work can be taken anywhere. The only things that keep me in the UK are my two boys (7 and 10). When my ex told me she was pregnant (after the second f***ing date!!!!), me and a friend were in the prosses of selling up to go to Vietnam to start a jet-ski hire place on the coast. So much for makeing plans! The bubble's burst on that one now but as soon as they're old enough and sorted, I'm off. Don't know where yet but I've had enough of watching my country turn to s**t. Mexico? Hmmmm...... Not thought about there. Cheers. Edited August 1, 2009 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post
Guest Scuba1 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 For me Mexico was an easy choice to make. Slack gun laws, huge areas out in the stick ( Yucatan ) nice climate, easy going people, cheap to live and I speak Spanish............... sorted Quote Link to post

Slack gun laws, huge areas out in the stick ( Yucatan ) nice climate, easy going people, cheap to live and I speak Spanish............... sorted Yes, I can see that. I only speak English and Bad language. I can muddle my way through French a little. It'd be good to live in a place where the folks know where they're at and have some kind of culture and an understanding of what they're about. Englands so lost it's way, married or not (not to go off toppic!). I guess it's a global thing that's going on all over right now. I s'pose I maybe old school but I'm fed up with not feeling safe for me and my boys future any more. Cheers. Quote Link to post

Guest Scuba1 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 When I was back on El Hierro I never had the time to go on here ...... well about 3 hours a week or so ......... I had so much other stuff to do, most of it is something that people here don't even ahve to think about. Like getting wood for the ovens and the arguer, when the water got low in the cistern, you check for leaks and fix them so that nothing gets lost when it does rain, out cutting food for the animals. and he list goes on and on. I like that way of life where not everything is pre packed and dished up ready made. I think the people living that way are better for it. ATB Michael Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 That's a big part of the problems in the UK, Michael. No matter how much the plebs screw up, they know that there will always be some kind of mechanism in place to pick up all the bits of their crap and sort it out for them. I'm not saying that we should go back to some kind of Dickenzian state but the whole culture of 'f**k it, I'll be fine whatever' is now too deeply ingrained into what's left of the UK's culture. Maybe I should get married, settle down, have a mortgage, etc...... Maybe not. Cheers. Quote Link to post

Your other 'half's' looking at you thinking...... 'They're ok, if I can change this and that, then they may be perfect'. Who the f**k are 'they' to look at 'us' and want to change who we are as a person???!!! Stay true to yourself. If you can't do that, you can't be true to anyone.......... Cheers. Quote Link to post
