General Chat

Quite a lot of New Zealand is verymodelled on Britain Emma. I went toChristchurch in the South Island which is exactly like Canterbury even down to the river and the Cathedral. Then the Southern Alps are just like Norway even got fjords, although Rotarua in the North with it's sulpherous hot mud pools is like nowhere else I have ever been.

I was lucky enough to be seconded to NZ for six months in the late eighties

Not apart Mersey a park. This pad and my fat fingers go together like kippers and custard!!!

My uncle,the one whose ninetieth birthday I attended on Monday, spent most of his working life in West Africa,first Nigeria then Ghana where he met and married his second wife. I've been to Nigeria once but surveyed for the oil industry in Orkney and Ghana in the late seventies

W-e-l-l i wouldn't say that but it tasted great and the company Gin, yourself etc was wonderful and much more fun than my old adversaries at the Uni. After my first lecture this morning I did a bit of footwork research round a fort where my old Godfather dad was based in1896. It's apart now and that man is very loosely related tome so I guess you COULD call it research!

I didn't know that about Dunedin Neil very interesting.

My son works for himself in the oil industry and he is
back off to Nigeria tomorrow.

They have just come back to Aberdeen to live
They have been in Elgin for 4 years.

Posh lunch then Neil :-D ;-)

My son in law comes from Dundee and his Dad is an oilindustry Engineer working in your lovely city Emma. I've been past (in a ship) but never actually visited although I have been to Dunedin in New Zealand which is meant to be a copy of Aberdeen

Emms :-P :-P :-P :-P

Mersey you is the biggest nickum...said in
the best possible way ;-) :-)

Hi Mersey,yes couldn't stay away.

It's all lectures today. Retired Engineers group this morning for a thing on electrical generation. Very interesting and tonight it is one of the new professors from my old school soon have to show willing. Probably fall asleep and the blessed gown is heavy in this mild air. Never mind I had a lovely carvery lunch in Debenhams roast Turkey! Don't get that so often. :-D

We have to wait for quite a while for the musicals
to reach Aberdeen but it's getting better than it
Used to be. :-D

My missus enjoys a good musical. We took eldest grand-daughter,her mum and my daughter to see Mamma Mia in the West End a few months ago,aglorious night out for all of us. I came away singing my heart out!!

You seek me here, you seek me there :-D :-D
