Sucks big time sitting across the pond..

No one is awake when I am. And vice versa.

Well, with the exception of Dave (slodave), of course!


Let me recount that - at the moment it is just me and frogger on OT.

You should try being in Oz. While we're awake the whole friggin' world's asleep, well except for New Zealand, but that doesn't count.

Can you elaborate on that, please.

I guess it is similar to our relation with the Norwegians.

I had a bout of insomnia, but I didn't want to make it worse by sitting at the computer...

Was just in London, then Freetown Sierra Leone (do not ever go there) and Aswan Egypt as well as Livingstone Zambia, then next week is either Caracas or Gran Canaria.

Be a pilot and see the world. Unfortunately you do not see your home as much. Would trade you jobs any day as I love the work but miss being home!

My retired father (also a pediatrician) has been dreaming of moving to South Africa more ten years. My mother is not buying it. To old for such a big change and to far from children and grand children. It is quite nice there nowadays I suppose, with a fantastic climate and all.

I see your are still on 'Euro-time', Joe. South Africa the whole weekend then ? Catching a few rays and enjoying beautiful South African examples of the female gender ? Boy, am I a chauvinistic pig!

Marcus,

We have been here a week and have another 6 days to go. Love being paid to sit in a hotel and enjoy the sun. Lucky for us its connected to a casino with loads of places to eat, so we are not pushing to leave this place at all!

Yes, the SA chicks are rather cute... could take a couple of them home with me for that matter!
