Is the move planned on your part, or because of the cuts in the North Sea drilling?

Welcome to expat living, I hope you and your family enjoy it. It can be a challenge and a little lonely but if there is a good community it can be excellent. I hear Qatar is one of the better places for oil people.

Do not start hating me today. Tomorrow I will give an even better reason!

Guiltless of causing French peer transfiguration at the New York Twin Towers the English aristocrats exclaimed at four: "They fall from the High Line with vertical acceleration!"(10)
Guiltless: Gui
The New York Twin Towers: ll
exclaimed (Oh!): o
English aristocrats at four (Tea): t
from line: ine
Causing transfiguration (by) fall from high with vertical acceleration: Guillotine.
Where the peers in this case were the French aristocrats. And The High Line is a famous New York sight, that you could fall from. And if you think that the "Twin Towers: ll" are much too contrieved then you have forgotten DD's:
"Spectacles: oo"
or another time: spectacles: pp

- Guiltless: Gui - almost acceptable
- The New York Twin Towers: ll - definitely not
- exclaimed (Oh!): o - maybe
- English aristocrats at four (Tea): t - no way on earth
- from line: ine - seriously?

There are certain constructs which are used quite commonly in crosswords, so would be understood by most people. I have never seen Twin Towers used before, I assume it was just invented by you; and in reality, it should be represented by __.

Touché.
I assumed that "spectacles" was DD's private invention, which is why I allowed myself another one.

Me!
Today, I have just done something that changes both mine and my family life massively. And it has sent a ripple of shock through work.
After 25 years, 4 months and 23 days (including today) I handed in my notice. I couldn't believe it would be so hard to tell them.

Good for you!
(I hope)
So what have you got lined up?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

|
|
|
But now you have to find your own transport back to land?
|
|
|
|

Fair winds and following seas for your new venture!

Can I have your old job?
If I have to listen to the old wazzocks wittering on about nonsense in this office any more I'm going to start hurting people.
Somewhere remote like the middle of the sea in a storm sounds like bliss to me.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

That is almost enough to retire. Hope all goes well in your new adventures.

Ah, the fun of reading posts in reverse chronological order. My question is answered.
And Good Luck! I suspect you and your family will find this to be quite a new adventure!

Cheers, I do, but it is time to venture out into the international arena while the kids are the right age.

Out with the old, in with the new. Good luck!
