And to you Nigel. Easter eggs are replaced with meatballs this year

 

[Joan Archer]

I'll have to go and sort out my hat, doesn't time fly when you're having fun, don't seem 5 minutes since it was Christmas last year.

 

[TheWizz]

I agree with you, I don't know where this year has gone.

Welcome to Seven Forums TheWizz. Too right it has just flown by.

 

[TheWizz]

We have just got some extra money.

Absolutely, this year just flew away. I got married in November 2012. I was just getting hang of it . In November 2013, I became a father. I don't know how this year passed so fast!

We have been shopping in ASDA in Hastings and I have updated/completed my info.

Today I finally managed to confirm my internship for the end of this year!
I'll be spending half a year in Brussels speaking French and doing fancy stuff as a Junior Management Consultant in one of the biggest companies out there!
Really stoked about it, especially since I'll be working closely with the Dutch and Belgian ministers of foreign and internal affairs

Bruxelles is a nice place. I worked there for 2 years. Try to find an appartment near Avenue Louise - nice area, especially if you are close to the big park. I lived facing the Jardin du Roi.

Many thanks for the info
But I already found an apartment, on Reu d'Arlon, which is virtually across the street to the Euro parliament

If I walk about five minutes to the west I'll be near Square de Meeûs, which is a huge park, and two minutes to the east there's a train station. They assured me that I chose a great location

Again? At least use a different location and writing style and topic.

Looks like you are all set. How is your French and Flemish

 

[nommy the first]

My Flemish is fluent, but my French on the other hand could use some tidying up

Nommy

 

[whs]

Looks like you are going to manage fine. Most people understand Flemish. That was always my weak side.

Today is the first totally "work-free" day I've had since early May. Finished the season a few days ago and now Winter Quarters "make work" is finished too. Paid off and notified as to when we'll open next year/season (late January this coming year).

All of which means ......... hehe ...... I'll be spending much more time in here starting in a few days. ( Hey, I've got personal things to do too you know) I miss the time spent here during the winter, this site and the people in it are my ......... "therapy" ...... for a seasons worth of angst, disappointments, and the knowledge that the vast majority of people I interact with hold a very derogatory view of me and my business. That really wears on you after a while.

So thank you all for accepting me and for the support and peace of mind that I get from belonging to such an outstanding site.

Oh, almost forgot, I'll be staying in Florida this winter, Tampa/Gibsonton - the Carnies spiritual and physical "home".

 

[Joan Archer]

Enjoy your time off Scot, I've just been reading up about where you'll be and found it fascinating. This is the site I was looking at, Gibsonton: Where Carnies Go to Get Away from Civilians | VICE United States

Well, that's one way to put it ! Been in the business I love 33 years now but a couple more and I'm done. Looking, halfheartedly so far, for a piece of property to retire to/on here in Gibtown actually.

If you're ever in the Tampa area...... and need a carnie-fix , THIS is the place to go see. I guarantee an enjoyable visit! International Independent Showmens Museum | International Independent Showmen's Museum Nice website too, check out the topic Games for example.
Or..... just drive down Gibsonton Dr. or Nundy , during the winter months and watch/see the Winter Quarters work going on.
