Just as a reminder, Kit: as a citizen of the EU, you are entitled to move to and live in ANY country in the Euro-zone. Worth remembering But that doesn't help the downunderling

^ Exactly, which is the problem.
He can live in Australia & NCland and that's about it. Because of the Commonwealth thingy, it might not be sooo hard for him to get a visa for the UK but the UK is the most ridiculous expenisve country ever and the most hit by the crisis. We could simply not afford housing (+health insurance +living costs) there, at least not for more than, lets say, 3 month. We pay 342€ rent for the flat we move in on Nov 1 - that is even for german standards, really really less (2 rooms, renovated, but ovenheating only and groundfloor), there is no way in hell we would get something like that in the UK, even when we've moved to, for example Hackney. (for the non-british or british informed, thats the poorest part of London and a shithole.. I mean, not so pretty).
So basically, it's only Germany or Oz, if not one of you has some space in his backyard for us to camp in? ;D

^ I'm sure Peter could help you with that! ;D I'd like to see what the Brits here (especially EK) have to say about the UK... ;D Whatever the outcome, I wish you the best! *** YAY! This is the FIRST thread on ALL of CC to reach 100 pages! EK's chest must be swelled up with pride, like a new father.

Actually, I'm thinking of locking it and startinf a new one. Less complicated, that way ;D
***
As for opinions of the UK... Well, Kit's right if you want to live in London. The North is a lot cheaper. There's just no work. Not that there's work anywhere right now, and the govt are probably the worst outside the third world... Though that probably insults some third world countries... If I were looking to live in the UK, I'd wait until there's a change in govt, honestly. Then give the new lot six months to settle in case they're as bad as the old lot...
Cynical? Only a little...

As long as it's not causing any server issues, let's just continue with it.

I say keep the current thread, as starting a new thread will just cause lost news problems.

Keep the monster; we already have plenty of monsters to deal with, not to mention Peter... ;D If we can survive those, we can easily survive this.

Hello, everyone, I was in Berlin for 2 weeks from 5th to 16th of October, 2009. During this time I did what's called a "focus testing" of Drakensang 2 at Radon Labs in Berlin. It'll gonna be a very nice game. So sorry I'm late for this, but welcome back Alrik! Focus testing eh? Sounds like fun.

Just keep this thread going on, man... As for what has been going on with good ol' me? Meh... I've been taking the "Thirty Day Challenge", well... more like the Pre-season and then I'll be going into the real thing. ;D Alrik: sounds like a whole load of fun.

Some Internet Marketing course that's free... and eh, I' just submitted an article which was a product review and got paid a little for it at Helium. Course the next few articles will pay less for now till I get much better and start selling articles to different publishers and stuff. Diversifying my skills, ya see... since the UBS article about Singapore's economy came out which could mean we're headed onto the path of Russia. Things are getting kinda heated right now and eh, the govt still encourages people to work even harder? Pfft... that's what I'd call the "devaluation and over-commercialisation of education" and "mass exploitation of people".

Bad news from my side : I have finally a doctpr's view on a strange pain I had had during the last 3 weeks ... It's an invisible injury in the muscle tissue of my right leg. Now I must keep my leg aways from work ... So to say. On the positive side, on last Saturday I've been on the Internationale Spieletage[/i] in Essen, Germany, and I've FINALLY found (after all of these years) the novel for the computer game "Pool Of Radiance 2 : Ruins Of Myth Drannor" ! I'm reading it since then - but I'm feeling downright tired right now. I believe I'll go to bed much, much earlier than normal ...

OMG!@#!@#... people!!!! I tweeted for fun about my first article and now someone is asking me IF I write for pay. AHHHHHHH... must calm down. :/ Behold the power of twitter... And hey Alrik... that's a good thing it was diagnosed early. At least you might be able to find some good treatment for it?
