Struck by lightning at exactly the right moment during a particularly exotic bout of fornication with a group of concubines.

How Will You Die at Armageddon?
by Nosferatu in.
before i found this website, i accepted the fact that i was going to be destroyed at armageddon.
but now that i know it's a big lie, i don't worry about that.. but just for fun, if you could choose your armageddonly death, how would you like to go?

Crumpet:
Can't do uniform, I'm afraid.
But I could hold up my badge (shield for our US friends) with a sign saying 'Looking for Crumpet'.
Would that do it, do you think?

The best reminiscences (?sp?) are always shared over a cold beer or two ...
Talking of which, it's 6.20 pm here now, no phone call from the BHC (I volunteered to help with the reception of evacuees from Lebanon, but obviously not needed) so it's time to start the evening perambulation. First stop, the ATM to get some beer tokens.

Crumpet: Yes I really really was, and luckily they accept I was too, so they keep sending me money every month.
I retired and sold the house last year (I've been divorced for four years) and my kids are adults. I got rid of most of my possessions and was free to come and go and travel wherever I wanted. I'd been to Cyprus several times and like the climate, and if I do decide to settle here it's one of very few places where I can get my pension without paying UK taxes first (taxes here are much lower).
I still haven't decided whether to settle here or not - I rent an apartment - but may well decide to do so. I will probably, however, want to retain the freedom to pack it all in a backpack and move on somewhere else. I was intending to go on the 2 day cruise from here to Lebanon in the autumn (when it's cooler) but we'll have to wait and see about that in view of current events. They suspended the cruises last week (it's only about 100 miles from here).
My family (uncle and cousins) live in West Cross, between Sketty and the Mumbles. One cousin (the rich and famous one) lives in Mumbles itself. A friend and former colleague lives in Limeslade. I lived for a couple of years in Bishopston and worked in Swansea.

Crumpet: This is a shame, and I may have to go out for some beers to overcome my disappointment.
It would be a pleasure to meet you at the airport and transport you to wherever your desires take you (it's only about 10 miles away).

Crumpet: Yes, I miss it a little. I worked in Tenby for a few years - the nick is in Warren Street, opposite the PO and Frankie Booth's amusement arcade. Most of my family live in Pembs, the others near Mumbles. I shall be interested to see how I feel when I visit next month. But the UK in general? No, not much.
Sent you a PM, btw.

Well, Crumpet, I am doing my best to entice you - but this evening may be a bit soon.
What are you doing tomorrow evening?

Crumpet: Yes, unfortunately flights here can be expensive - due largely to CY government regulations re the number of 'non package' seats allowed to be sold on charter flights.
Yes, I am a Brit, lived out here for about a year. My previous home was in Pembrokeshire.

What's the oddest thing you have eaten?
by PopeOfEruke inhey i was on holiday last week and we went to a sea-side night market and there was a food stand called "roadkill restaurant".
the motto was "you kill it, we grill it".
charming place.. they had crocodile, buffalo, camel, and kangaroo and emu kebabs.

I don't think anyone has yet mentioned lava bread. It is a Welsh speciality, made from seaweed. Especially good rolled in oatmeal and fried, served with a traditional (bacon and eggs etc) breakfast.
Or faggots and mushy peas with gravy (this may need explaining for our US friends).
