Yes, moving to Andros in the Bahama's and me spending the rest of my life researching (fishing for) Tarpon on the west side on Andros….

Apart from that, can't think of anything.

She may think I am completely mad, but she does have faith....

Great story and after meeting G and Paula, the couple of times that I have, why I felt compelled to help celebrate Giles' Kanreki.

@Seul:

Lost 5 kilograms in 5 weeks. On a diet of beer, wine, cognac and cheese.

Weird. I used the exact same diet and I gained five kilos.  Only instead of wine, I had Red Bull, instead of cognac I had pizza, and instead of cheese, I had cheeseburgers.

I believe @Seul meant to say beer, swine, cognac and cheese.

[Seul]

True - been piggin' out on swine man…

Proud father alert: Number one son (14 years old) went on a «study date» yesterday evening (how much studying was done with young Sofie, I am unsure about). He went out of the house wearing his first bit of Iron Heart, an IHTP-04 that was too small for me. I choked up a bit…

[Matty123]

Yeah man! That’s a great post @neph93 . for many reasons. Congrats bud. Be proud

I was just about to say… neph's list reads like:

• 1 billion children: check
• 78 billion grandchildren: work in progress

Have you told Sofie you expect a full soccer team worth of offspring from her?..

What’s this now??

[neph93]

I’m sure Sofie isn’t that kind of girl (yet) and I don’t think Noah is that kind of boy (yet). But he’s had the talk. He also lives in a house with his eight month year old and two year old little brothers, so if that doesn’t scare the shit out if him, nothing will [emoji23]

The Japanese tend to replace older houses, but this article from The Guardian suggests that things might be changing.

Raze, rebuild, repeat: why Japan knocks down its houses after 30 years

Incidentally, they need to get @neph93 to give them lessons. Their population is set to fall from 127 million now to 88 million by 2065. :o

[Seul]

Don't - it would go up to 88 billion if they'd listen to the neph…

I feel like the most Japanese part of that was the fact that the company apologized, even though no one complained.

[Cole]

After 9 years I quit my job 30 minutes ago.

[neph93]

^ Wow! Hopefully a positive thing?

[UnTucked]

Flat out QUIT, or you had previously planned this?

Either way, what's to come must be better than what you had… Congrats!
