.....because it's wet. It rains far too much. It's quite cold. The summer is really short and it rains loads anyway. And the way of life here is far too cut-throat and money-oriented. I want a more laid-back lifestyle in a warmer, sunnier climate where the summer lasts.
Any (sensible) suggestions as to where I could go?

I have no suggestions but when you find this little paradise let me know where it is. I want to drop out of society, sail down to the equatorish area and find a little island to call home.

Spain. That's where I've always dreamt of going. Is life as laid-back there as we are led to believe?

Laid back means chilled-out, relaxed, less stressed. England's such a stressful, busy, greedy island!

oh man, it sounds better with every minute that passes. i could hand out free fish to people from the boat, a kind of protein source for those who want to party the night away. and tofu for vegetarians.
sun. i love it.
i just looked out of the window though and it's grey, windy and raining. FUCK.

I feel the same about NY sometimes, its not as bleak as the U.K. but the winters here are freezing and uncomftorable, and the summers are too hot and dirty. I actually don't mind the summer's here, I know what you mean, sun and warmth are all you need...that's why I applied to so many schools in Cali.

what is "freezing and uncomfortably" to you, Xanatos? have you ever been out in a fucking snowstorm and were the temperatures have been around 30 celsius below zero?

No, probably becuase I don't live in Norway. Everything is relative. There are places colder where you live, and there's people in places where New York winters would be unbearable.
You're right, it is comparatively mild in NY compared with northern europe. Doesn't mean I can't want to go somewhere even milder, just like you do.
Freezing and uncomftorable is quite literally that, I'm not really comfortable outside if the weather is below 32(F) degrees. I usually don't complain unless the wind brings it below 10, but I'm an outside person.
I'd like to be able to go to the park 365.
That's why I wouldn't mind going somewhere warmer.

hey did you know england is one of the most dry countries of europe? of all the capitals in europe, it is the second dry-est(?) capital after madrid i think. ok, and maybe lissabon.
but maybe up north in newcastle it's different.
you don't want to come to holland for the weather, i assure you.

Contrary to popular belief, there is some very nice food, the traditional stuff, but we have very good curry etc.
I also like the music. I love the countryside, its so lush and green and on a warm summers day there's nowhere better.
The BBC doesn't have adverts and is quite a unique way of broadcasting.
