Uhtred Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 20 hours ago, the stinking enigma said: Where's the near east anyway? Onchan Head...actually, it isn't: Near East, usually the lands around the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, including north-eastern Africa, southwestern Asia, and, occasionally, the Balkan Peninsula. The term Near East was used by the first modern Western geographers to refer to the nearer part of the Orient, a region roughly coextensive with the Ottoman Empire.

If I’d won the lottery roll over last night the first thing I’d be doing is buying a house elsewhere and looking to leave. I wouldn’t be looking to live here with a few quid.

The moat is a huge protector . one such minted individual once said as much to me. We could have mega bucks estates here in their dozens if we marketed right.
