Congrats on having a backbone. Hope you enjoy the vast experiences in your new life!

Having a backbone would be to stick around and fight this shit; not flee.

That's a bit harsh. Like my old man always said, "you gotta know when to hold 'em; know when to fold 'em; know when to walk away and know when to run."

Would you mind sharing how you moved to the UK and what the requirements / difficulties were? Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

I am happy to share, but I am afraid it won't help many others. I am lucky because of who my father was.

Wondering why I hadn't see you posting much recently. May and September are the two best weather months on the south of the UK.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Damn, that's great to hear. Welcome in Europe comrade.
