[penelope] Congrats! Be prepared to be much more proud of your home town once you're an ex-pat.

[pen] These days (and given how cheap it is to fly to London) one imagines one could continue to freelance virtually for UK firms. I hope to do that one day when I move somewhere warmer.

Congratulations. Will you be wearing wooden shoes?

Congrats and felicitations! Just don't get too into the coffee shop mentality...

I've got the clogs already. And this is rural South Holland, not Amsterdam (which I have not yet visited). But hold on a minute... there's a REALLY good job going, and I just had a good preliminary telephone interview. If that application continures to go well, plans might change for a year or so!

[Mike] yeah, I know, it's all me, me, me... I'll shut up now.

Wow - many good things happening! You deserve 'em all :-)

Well, I'm sure after the run of foul luck you've had of late that you are due some preening in the sun. If you've got it, flaunt it as they say. Are the wooden shoes really called Klompen?

[SM] Yup. I have a pair. They're outside the back door. They were the first present he bought me :oP

[pen] Smashing stuff I'm reading here :) Will email you

There we are, I go away for a few days and all heaven breaks loose. Congrats.

So a Brussels or an Amsterdam pilg would be more likely now. Welcome to the Low Countries!

[pen] Don't mention the war

[pen] Does Windy like Dilbert?

Perhaps it's just 'cos I know all the dilbert strips so well. decides to take a break from hogging the chat.

Doesn't anyone else have anything to banter about?

Current events aren't really the stuff of banter in the UK at least. It's good to have something pleasant to talk about.

I vote we continue to discuss pen's love life for a bit longer. All those in favour say 'Aye'.

Well, we could always talk about the weather instead. *doesn't*
