WELCOME TO THE TP BOARDS!

prepare to be on here for life...when people get hooked to this site, it seems to be a lifetime committment.

so what has you traveling? work, pleasure...running from the law?

Dreaser · 02-26-2005, 02:25 PM

A little from Column A, a little from Column B
although my criminal record i would rather keep a secret

my main reason for moving to the UK like every1 else is to save money to travel, its great you can get to anywhere in europe for under 50pounds.
i have failed misrebly at that as i still have no money saved. so my next plan is to move to scotland to save money. stornoway is a little town on the wetern isles of scotland. apparently quite cheap. and SFA to spen my money on. so i should be able to save.

then when LonleyFarmBoy gets here we will do a quick tour of the countries he wants to see. after that who knows??
all i know is my visa runs out on april 2006. waht happens between now and then i can only wait and see.

Oh, man, with friends like these...!

Seriously, Stornoway is a cool town. It's on the Isle of Harris and Lewis...which is where the Standing Stones of Callanish are! Picture Stonehenge in the shape of Celtic cross out in the middle of nowhere, basically...

Check it out:
