You can say fandom if you like, unusual, but not wrong. I've only played badminton here, where we lived in Humlebæk there was a nice hall with four courts. We had 11:00 AM Sunday mornings throughout the year, and became friendly with the others that had the other courts at that time. We were forced to move. Where we lived was a large detatched house owned by the couple who lived on the ground floor. V went to school with the girl downstairs. After their two daughters grew up and moved out, their marriage broke down and the house had to be sold, so we had to leave. It was good there, here it is not, I dislike it enormously.

Badminton seems to be something that have occupied several Base Campers. You, Eric_Kaiser, myself.
It’s also a sport in which Denmark for some reason has excelled. Finn Kobberø, Erland Kops, Lene Køppen and much later Morten Frost all did well at the All England tournaments. I’m sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your current home. I tend to believe that north of Copehagen is some sort of Wonderland, but of course, northern Zealand is not exclusively Strandvejen, Louisiana and the like with a view over Øresund to Sweden. What is it you find unpleasant at Espergærde? |

Espergærde is an okay place, no problems there, it is the house we live in I dislike, I got used to the big detatched house in Humlebæk, and my own house in England before that. This is a fairly small terraced house in an estate filled with rules, residents groups, residents meetings with slow cooking rows complaints and moans. etc. Petty and sour. The house in Humlebæk was a large detatched place with a big garden one row back from Strandvejen. Louisiana is a great place, V and I have been members for years. We often meet and have lunch there, and are always going to the new exhibitions when they open. It is walking distance from where we are, mind it was a shorter walking distance from where we were.

OK, you like the location, but not the regulation, so to speak.
Is it a 'community' where you are supposed to be 'close' and find 'concencus'? Some sort of mature hippie collective? Or do I read too much into what you write? Would it be too difficult to find another home? |

Nice... Yes, isn't it? In many respects it is a fairytale country. Small and cute. We can get dramatic at times, though ![]() ![]() Can't wait! I'm glad to hear that, but try your best ![]() How was your trip with Queen Mary II? Any complaints? All things considered I think you made it real fast. Did you bribe the people in the engine room? ![]() Since I was on a tight schedule, I had to jet across the pond! ![]() |

You read too much into what I write. It is a housing estate built probably in the sixties with rows of terraced houses at strange angles and staggered rows, the house next door to us on one side is directly attatched as you'd expect, but the house the other side is offset, their front door is perhaps three metres behind ours, but is the same size house, so the back of their house is three metres behind ours. We have a brick wall outside our back door. We are building a greenhouse to attatch there which is South facing. I have no idea about finding another place, with whats left of my brain, I tend to leave things like that to V.
A mature hippie collective sounds okay though... |

![]() ![]() You're full of surprises - best as I try to accommodate your fear of flying - or resentment - or what it may be all of sudden you can fly |

Errr, fear of flying? Ummm, I have travelled on every continent except Antarctica, where I have not even visited, boat from Cape Horn was a bit too small for the job when the weather unexpectedly decided continuing would be a bad idea.

I was referring to our present Base Camp crew member BladeD who had expressed a certain resentment against flying,
so therfore I got him a ticket for crossing the Pond on board the Queen Mary II but all of a sudden he boarded a jet because he felt he was late. ... and he was. I was afraid he had gone over board. I'm glad to hear that you seem to be able to use any means of transportation, Fossaw, and been everywhere without fear. It sounds as if you could have been blown to Antarctica upon going around Cape Horn, though. Haven't those waters always been the litmus test for both men and materiel? Did you go there in a boat in order to form an impression of what the safety equipment should stand up to? We stayed in Ushuaia for a few days and made a trip on the Beagle Channel. Weather was OK but you could sense it was unreliable. Or was it reading too many books? ![]() |
