Mandrake, you make more sense than I do when I am sober so don't apologise. My conversation after a bottle of scotch is limited to monosylabic grunts and burps.
Melusine, I agree Scotland is a brilliant place to live. Beautiful scenery, excellent scotch(if your ever this way Mandrake gives us an E-mail and I'll crack open some special cask strength I've been saving) and friendly people. I've been here two years and I would never go back to England. I went to Holland many years ago for a long weekend and really enjoyed myself. Lots of beautiful blondes, good beer and grass is legal! Too many bicycles though The only thing I didn't like was the food as you can only eat so much ham and cheese . Is the floating restaurant still in Amerstadam? I had a great meal there, despite my last comment, but I thought I had had too much to drink until I realized that the centre section was meant to rotate. However, my fave place is Barcelona. A fantastic city with brilliant night-life, shopping, art & culture, sun, sea and sand. Nearby you have the Pyrenees and Monserrat ranges if you like greenery and mountains, which you seem to. It also has a great university, so you might go there for a brief holiday before making your final choice. If you want any info about Scotland E-mail me and I will get it fot you.
