haha indeed sounds like you've had a crazy life from the brief stories  :lol: When you come over to the UK, what about going cheap and getting a Crafter acoustic? For cheap they are great, I have a D6 I think and it sounds and plays very nicely

Sam, geography not your strong point bud? LOL Sorry ya left yourself wide open for that one. Not many islands in Atlantic, not from US to UK anyway. Maybe Bermuda. Or Iceland/Greenland and they are NOT tropical LOL.

Nah, rainy UK days idea, thats book writing weather. BUT, my story has LOOOONG way to go yet I reckon ;)

Tom,
don't NEED this acoustic. I mean honestly, I am "learning" and already have four guitars.
I just reckon stock up whilst I can, ya never know. But I DO know the cost of this stuff in UK.
Thus far have used Xmas/Birthday money, sale of PDA,Fishing Rod, Spare Air (rescue diving cylinder I used to Patrol on Police Dive Team here) and a VERY expensive H&K P7M8 semi-auto pistol (which I got cheap ;)) to finance it ALL (cept. the GT8 which missus bought me :)
So, not doing bad, basically trading if ya think of it like that :)

Sam
no ya don't buddy! They are not cool!
I own and have a carry license because if some f**ker tries to rob me or anything, they are DEAD! here! Guns have NO place here, but it's to late to stop the rot now. Long argument that.

My advice (esp. to a youngen like you Sammy boy). Always have a "slush fund" some money saved.
I pissed alot away when making good money, but, only real problem I have had/do have is my cars. All else did GOOD deals to start with. The key, research,observance and being in right place at right time to strike.

For instance, only bought my house 3 weeks ago. Sounds CRAZY as am moving back to UK right?
Well, lived in same 3 bedroom house here for 6 years, paying rent. Owner finally said she was gonna sell if/when I ever moved (she does not know I am moving).
Well, I got  Real Estate License here awhile back (as thought it a good idea). So knew what my house was worth.
Well, I am living here for 6 years, she wants to sell, so I make her an offer (based on sales I could find, which were long time ago as my house is bigger than most in area) and she jumps on it.
Upshot, I should make $20,000 on the sale, which I need to actually to cover my car losses (to come) and small credit bill) and flights/shipping etc.

So, research,funds,patience,right place/right time! See :)

I know easier said than done, but it IS doable, trust me ;) ;) ;)
