Apparently mon vieux is beyond the pale for Pagey. Translator had it down as 'pal'. There was a possibility for 'mate' but think it hovered a bit across different meanings of what one could mean by 'mate' and given Pagey is an engaged woman these days it was perhaps a tad risky to go in blind like that. MrCientist is a big chap and might take offence ;)

Ha! It was actually a long-standing ambition of mine to become a New Age Traveller, and top up my giro by repairing discarded electronics and selling them on. While not keeping vehicles and sound systems going, anyway.

It didn't actually work out that way, of course. Failing my driving test didn't help. But I did get to spend six wonderful months living on a British-owned camp site in the South of France -- which happened to be the last one on the road to the beach, and the only one in the village (or at least the only one on the beach road) with a disco bar. There I lived with a band of misfits including a grumpy French plumber, a psychotic Algerian chef (but he had a good connection for hash .....) and an obnoxious Londoner, spinning choonz by night and fixing the superannuated ice cube machine, chip fryer and anything else that had moving parts by day. Not to mention ingratiating myself with the tourists any way I knew how, with the consequence of scoring free food, toilet paper and any other stuff people couldn't be bothered to take home with them. The British didn't realise how terrible the French I spoke was, and said things in front of me that they might not otherwise have said if they thought I could understand what they were saying .....

But the wheel of the seasons turned inexorably, the camp site wound down for the Winter and I was back to Blighty. Where I ended up doing Nine to Life, working for The Company. There was a brief interlude involving a spot of part-time eco-warrioring, before it all deteriorated. Then, on the strength of an e-mail received by chance, I burned my bridges and jumped with both feet into the unknown .....

..... and landed in what turned out to be as close as it could get to my dream job, without me ever actually dreaming about it. The job I'm still doing; from a canal-side office in the countryside with views that take the sting out of the half-hour bus journey and the walk each end (never did pass that test ..... though I stopped caring a long while ago).

It's all been one hell of a trip so far, and I'm not going to stress out over what might have been for fear of spoiling the rest of the ride.
 
Wow sounds like everything 'turned out nice' in the end. I had no idea what was waiting for me when i made each of my decisons about where i would go and what i would do. Some of them turned out to be good, some didnt. Its about time Lady Luck shined her light my way and gave me a bit of help in securing a job that at least wont make me miserable. Of course I'll need to create my own luck, but a bit of help from random external factors can also help.

I have such chavvy background any such language irks me. I dragged myself away from the shell-suited hordes. I have no intention of being dragged back down ;)

Not sure where this association with the word mate and chavs has come from. My dad calls me mate/mush and he went to abingdon ffs.=D
 
When people can't spot the difference between absolute FACT! and the other type of FACT! there's something gone horribly wrong :|

I'm fairly sure the term 'mate' predates chavdom by some considerable time. It's just a personal dislike of it is all.

(and it is common as muck :p)
 
*is not rising to it, is also wishing he'd kept that a but quiet cos senses a running gag coming on*

Head isn't too bad actually. Decided to stop drinking before I actually got anywhere near drunk. This doesn't happen all that often so am mildly chuffed.
 
Yeah knew it was romany, my dad calls me mush (we're not romany at all though).

Of course I care, you can call me Owain.<3
 
Here's pics of me. BEWARE you're screens may break haha

you seem to really love that cat. Fair play. I love cats. Have one called Beauty (Black died last November!)
EDIT; That was addressed to Owen's that MDB quoted.

^^ When I was a kid we used to have a cat called Beauty (the other one was called Beast because he used to nick all Beauty's food)

My cat's are black with big yellow eyes so I named them Black n Beautify after the horse, Black Beauty. They were two years when they came to me. Scared lil' things n inseparable. Black's in Heaven now so there's just Beauty and I think the world of that cat. Mind you, I'd have the house full of cats if I could love them. Beauty can't have kittens because she's had the op; they both did.
