- Royal mail, I can put a CD in the post to a friend on the other end of the island in the morning for early collection, and it will be there the next day.
- Online shopping, for almost anything you desire. If it's in stock, you get near instant gratification without leaving your home. Decent internet access is easier to get too.
- Walking in the dark. It may seem a simple thing, but general security is miles better except if you live in the big-city. But then anything goes in big cities, and village life is a gas.
- Friendly people. You get these everywhere, but because there are so many cultures, you get accepted as a foreigner (still a foreigner, but you can come over for tea).
- Great for Kids. Childcare is expensive due to this silly organisation called OFSTED. But for kids themselves it is magic, tonnes to do and learn in safety.
Void, yes void *; very nice storage location actually, limitless almost, but very nasty.
I cried when Bambi's mom died, and when Douglas Adams cashed it in, I had to cry again. So OK, I also cried when my cat died, but I am over that now. Zaphod is a Computer programmer type, and debugs 'C' code in
ASM. Is not un-handy; has 2 boys, wife. From South Africa where being white is tough, and over-played. Now moved to the Cambridge: UK, and having a ball.
