Congrats to Simeon and LB for fixed cars and medical answers!
I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

Next door is up for sale now. Kind of a relief of sorts.

Either way we're househunting again this neighbourhood has done enough psychic damage to me and we only ever intended this house to be a step onto the ladder, we've been here nearly five years so time to find the forever I spose.

I passed my exam with a 90% score. I'm a qualified patent paralegal! Posted Image

Means a little more as after years in the legal industry as a non-degree holder being treated horribly, I don't think I ever really saw myself with a professional qualification and membership of a chartered body, with more to come too in the next couple of years. I'm going to be a while wrapping my head around this as it means a lot to me. Bouncing off the walls of my home office this morning!

That's awesome, congrats! Can you help me patent an umbrella that comes preloaded with a classic pop song that plays on repeat for the duration the umbrella is in use? (e.g. Swagger Jagger by Cher Loyd). I think this could be my big break to get on Dragons' Den.

I can't, but I dearly hope someone does!

So what I'm hearing is, between you and Simmo my cruel banishment from the UK for regrettably misinterpreted boyish shenanigans could soon be at an end? ;)

Even better, you and Simmo could get together and create a brand new novel and TV murder mystery pairing! Together, you could be the Yorkshire Falcon ...

EDIT: initially-mismatched hard-bitten former police detective turned gumshoe, and idealistic lawyer (Ok I'm emebellishing but go with me) solve mysteries in the villages of Upper, Lower, Greater, Middle and Little Crapping, Yorkshire. :D

Ah I knew you'd smash it, never in any doubt! Congrats!

Sombra - no chance, I'm making it harder for you to come back!

I like the TV idea though please don't diss my home village of Greater Crappington...
