I love understanding the world in which we live and the people with whom we share it.
I love the warmth as well as the joy of debate on this site.
...AND NOW, AS AN UPDATE IN DECEMBER 2012...
I came to this site from abuzz when a2k was originally created and made lots of friends online (and sometimes in person, too).
Then (I suppose) I got caught up in work, travel for work (Stuttgart, Prague, Munich, Moscow, Nuremberg, and many, many more!), more work and travel and...
on the personal side of my life
2006 - met a wonderful woman (Anna)
2007 - moved in with her
2008 - married her, eventually stopped working every week outside the UK
2009 - first son (Orlando/"Lando") born
2010 - second son (Franklin/"Frankie") born
and I'm very happy but have been caught up in all of that and have spent more time online elsewhere since the introduction of facebook and twitter (@kitchenpete).
Still love cooking and have introduced my boys to it as well. Frankie LOVES cracking eggs.

I also think that... (view)

Making that list... (view)

1. He went into his father's business
2. He lived at home until the age of 33
3. He was sure his mother was a virgin, and his mother was sure he was God (view)
Thu 17 May, 2007 05:37 am - All well with me, thanks. I've been spending more time in Munich than Prague, recently - usually a lovely city but today it's cold, grey and wet!
Anyway, life if fine and dandy.... (view)

Thu 17 May, 2007 01:36 am - Danke, Merci, Thanks!
Glad to hear it shouldn't be a problem. It took me AGES to load my CDs on to the drive in a really good form and it would be very depressing to lose them/have to work... (view)
