Lounge posts don't count yo.

Oh lounge post do not count? Oh what an intolerable tragedy. I can not get over it. Now if I wanted to make it grow, I should actually write something about music. Can't do that.

This being a music forum, I can tell why you are upset.

Taxman

well, where I live aurora borealis can be seen maybe twice in year, cos I live in the middle west or so but if you go to Lapland, you will see them. Also nature is very beautiful in Lapland and it is great place to just think about things cos if you go north enough, you are in the middle of nothing, so I would recommend Lapland for everybody.
Also in Lapland the sun never goes down in the summertime, but on the other hand winters are just too cold. So I wouldn't want to live in Lapland but it is great place to visit. Just don't care about those tourist hotels and you'll find the true Lapland.

Mr. Charlie

Nice. You have the best education system in the world too, by most accounts.

So if I wanna be a serious member, I have to talk about music to...seems logical

All I'm saying is that if he wants to bitch and moan about it so much. He should do like his family member and put his money where his mouth is. Sure he has the freedom to bitch and moan and still stay in this country but if it's such a thorn in his side. He could move. He's definitely making excuses.

Yeah it's rough and I should have learned from my mother doing it when I was younger but nope. I guess I was too young to remember when she did it.

Mr. Charlie

Agree with soldier. I moved all over the place as a young man with nothing more than a backpack, a sense of adventure and very little money. You find a way. I think it's gets harder as we grow older though, if only because we become less adventurous.

As you get older you also become scared of everything and used to creature comforts

But then again there is a big difference moving to another city in your own country as opposed to moving to another country.

Mr. Charlie

I think it's gotten harder to move from country to country too. In the 70s my parents backpacked from the UK through Europe into the Middle East then through Persia and Pakistan into India and back again. I tried a similar trip myself in the 90s and only made it as far as Jordan/Syria as it was too difficult and dangerous to go any further. Border crossings are much tighter these days, and the level of hostility towards citizens of countries like the UK and US has increased. My then girlfriend (a Yank) and I (a Brit) were stoned in Hebron by an angry mob of Palestinians, and eventually chased, we had to make a very speedy getaway.
