Bordon can't be that bad Stebbo?

I'd kill for a posting to England at the moment. Been living abroad for the past 7 years.

I hope all is well with you?

I'm good Nath. Just getting a bit impatient to go on leave for 3 weeks. Especially when I live in Germany and the mrs lives in England.

Sold the escort and bought myself a brand new house to rent out. Completed on it at Easter. Saving for the next one now.

Off to the south of France for holiday. Be nice to drive through France with the top down of the A4 Cabriolet.

How are things with you. What have you been up to. Still making an awesome chilli I bet

Hiya, my brother-in-law and the wife are based in Germany, not sure where, but I know he's been based at Bordon over here too? Maybe someone may know him... Gav Emmerson.

how can you be bored in a foreign country? there's so much to see and do. i regret not having seen enough of germany in the 4 years i was there, especially not going to the sites of the dambusters raids. just pick a theme of something to do and see and do it - unless it really does cost money that you would rather save.

but then you must have plenty of other options other than monging out in front of a telly. there are always parks, rivers, lakes to walk around etc. get yourself a hobby like photography which can be cheap and the possibilities are endless.

I agree it is a very sad state of affairs that England is in. When I mention to people in England that I live in Germany, they act as if it's still the second world war.

Like you said people don't realise how right countries like Germany have it. England used to be a great place to live. It certainly dissapoints me when I come home. We're an embarassment now!

I do love it out here. I used to be in Osnabruck. Awesome place. Now I live in the arse end of nowhere

I've gotten up to plenty of things sonce I have been over here. When my mrs comes over we go to really nice places and live the high life.

I'm just wanting the time to pass quicker till leave.

I suppose it's not that bad mate....just been there for 4 years now and got 2 more to do until my 22 years are up. Last time I saw you was at the UKFORDOC meet last year, alot has happened since then....not sure if you remember my leg was knackered so I had it amputated last August, but I'm back better than ever !!!! I have more carbon fibre than my 3 door....LOl. Hope you have a good holiday...speak soon.

Nick you know I'm far from unadventurous. I even went to The Race of Champions with a complete stranger. You could have been a serial rapist

I've done loads out here. Been to some lovely places

The only reason I was monging out in front of the telly was that I'm aching from all the exercise I have been doing.

I'm stashing the money for another house to rent out.

Germany is such a great place to live. Everything is as you would expect of a country. Something the UK could learn alot off of

You jammy git only having 2 years left. I've got 10 left now

I heard about your leg. You have that positive mentality to take the challenge on. I know that you wouldn't have taken that decision lighty at all. Now a carbon fibre leg would be cool. You taking on Steve Austin then

Fair play to you

I watched a nutcase on telly that cycled across America in 5 days. He did 250 miles a day and stayed on the bike for 22 hours a day. That's some serious shit

I hope yours goes well. If you're after sponsoring, give us a shout
