From: fat B****rd On Thursday at approx. 3 pm my wife, Ann and I will climb into the trusty Nissan and head to Dunfermline where we shall be in a caravan in my Step-daughter's back garden until we find a house. I shall be 60 in July and intend to find 5 years worth of job. If I'm an honest man I must say I'm a little daunted at the prospect of uprooting, but..what the heck !! I'll try and get back on line ASAP but after tomorrow (Wednesday) I'm not so sure. Take care everybody. ATB from fB. AKA CHarlie. |

Wear a kilt and dance round to Jimmy Shand records, drinking whisky, eating kippers and shortbread biscuits - keep saying Bonnie Charlie had the right idea. You might get taken for a local straight away, I feel sure they will accept you all the sooner for making an effort. |

From: George Papavgeris Good for you, Charlie, it means you are still young enough at heart and enough of a dreamer. My best wishes for a successful move! "...Dreams show the way in darkest night They make a hero of the timid For dreams obey no law or limit And be they old or full of youth Only the dreamers see the truth... ...And dream by dream, with starry eyes they climb the way to Paradise." |

From: fat B****rd Well now, all your good wishes seem to have worked.We went to look at a 3 bedroom flat near Dunfermline town centre.Considered\it just the place and had our offer accepted almost immediately. After the usual hassles with vans and storage we consider ourselves very lucky. So all being well we'll be in our new home in June and I'll have a job to put the icing on the cake. Thank you all again for your kindnesses. ATB from Charlie. |

20 Apr 07 - 10:10 PM (#2031648) Subject: RE: BS: Wish me luck as you ................. From: JennieG That's great Charlie, best wishes in your new home. Just watch out for the wild and woolly Haggis, it's a fierce beastie when roused. If you hear its mating call on a dark night - stay indoors. I reckon my Scottish great-great-grandparents were frightened by a Haggis and that's why they emigrated to Oz in the 1840s. Cheers JennieG |
