Hi Sven, hope you don't mind me repeating some very wise words spoken by yourself. To the OP, let me repeat my invariable advice. It probably gets boring for regulars, but after only a few weeks on a board that seems to have its fair share of ... Read More

TBH it always seems people really struggle to get meet-ups of the ground, especially when basically talking with people who do not know one-another. I'm going to one in Turkey next month (god the things I do for a free sandwich) and if compared ... Read More
