hey all, I'm starting a new job in exotic Trinidad at the end of the month so I'll be pretty quiet till I get settled. I have like five or six different interneting machines and there's only one I know will work there. And that's my kindle which is kind of like hopping on the information superhighway on a tricycle.

But once I'm settle and all my stuff arrives I should be fine.

Course I won't be doing much gaming for the next few years but I'm sure Mrs K and I will something to fill the time.

Have fun in Trinidad, my friend is from their and visits sometimes. Learn to haggle though, definitely learn to haggle.

Uh... Ok... Congrats...?

Go spearfishing in your spare time, mayhaps?

Cool story.

Actually, this is a spam/personal thread in OT.

I'm going to call a Moderator to come deal with this, troll!

While this is a spammy thread and I do not condone it, Congrats. I'm jealous.

Have fun! Nobody games in Trinidad?

Everyone is corrupt there and therefore would cheat anyway.

It would be like playing a poor sport, cheating 40k player all the time.

It's not just spammy and personal! It's on topicness in the off topic forum! Won't someone think of the children!

Those darn Mods, always abusing their power.

So long as the victims are children, I'll happily blame them.

Mind if I ask what it is that you do that you travel so much?

Of course this is just a glamor shot, he works in a branch of the main Secret Service branch.

Trinidad eh? My employer pretty much owns he banking there and we have several employees from there here.
Very nice. Watch out for the coconut trees during storms (seriously).
Remember rum and coke there is 80% rum, 20% coke. It really is paradise.

No. Practicing procreation is the major pastime, and getting sunburned, although these are not mutually exclusive.

The grass is always greener. Give it a few years before you start bragging.

Being a veteran of most of the ex colonies, I think Trinidad is probably a gak hole. Gun crime, poverty, hassle off the fething locals when you go for a bloody walk, Ive been to gak loads of them, and they are always nicer than the local places that aren't ex colonies, but they are still gak holes.

I cant believe people go on holiday to these places. If its not in Western Europe or North America, feth it off as far as im concerned.

Ill review some common holiday spots for you guys.

Turkey gak hole. (Not Western Europe either no matter how much they say otherwise)

Egypt gak hole. Jamaica gak hole. Senegal gak hole. Thailand gak hole. Tunisia gak hole. Morocco gak hole.

Basically, stay in the US if you want my advice. I spent ten years going to shitholes at the governments behest, I like staying in nice, dull, pleasant pub filled England now.

YMMV of course.

Trinidad and the other islands are favored spots for Canadians, because its colder than a witch's tit in Canada 'eh!

Have fun. If you go to one of "those" beaches, make sure to use at least SPF 60. Some things are meant for the sun.

Nice job Kid! Enjoy yourselves and hope you like working there.... Cos living somewhere and holidaying in the same place......really different!

I hear that, that's why my friend's family moved to the US. His father used to own a jewelry shop down there and one day a few armed men barged in and took all the jewels and even though his father was compliant they shot him in the torso anyways, he was about 5 or so when he saw it along with his two older sisters. They got in easily because their father(the one who got shot) was in the USMC and served during the Vietnam War previous to the shooting.

He'll probably need that gun for when he moves back to the states too!

I personally havnt been to any of those places, but my oldest brother traveled alot being a Marine security Guard for American embassies, and was in both those places I put in BOLD for a time. He lived in Thailand for just over a year, and said he HATED both places. The locals were all thieves, the food sucked, was WAY to hot AND way to humid.

So since you both have said the same thing, it cant be that far from the truth
