Hi Chris,

Just bid on them, where you going and what you doing and when ya going?

[Chris Houston]

I'll be working in Papua New Guinea, doing logistics for Médecins Sans Frontières, departing 3rd January for 9 months.

(My FireNet role will be unaffected, although I may be online less often and more reliant on members using the "report" function.)

What do we do if Benz takes a wobbly?

[Benzerari]

Good experience Chris, I like traveling and working in different environments too, the weather out there may exceed 45 degrees Celsius in summer time,… etc, I have friend of mine, a French Doctor who used to work for ‘Medecin sans Frontiere’ for many years, it’s a good money and interesting experience too…,

Fit him in some rocket, and launch him out there in space, in some none reversible black hole, he will never come back to this era...

Good money? Are you joking?

Well  for him as a ( MEDECIN = DOCTORE ), but for you I hope you will enjoy your salary out there as admin or what so ever...

Benz,

Both medics and non medics are essentially volunteers, with costs paid and a small indemnity payment.

Not all of them Chris..., it depends of what program are you within... and for how long...

[Mr. P]

All the very best for that Chris.. WoW, what an experience though, a great cause.

Good luck Chris. Just dont forget to leave us the key to all those poor padlocked threads whilst you are gone so we can nurture them. Or they will be imprisoned and fester forever.  Even the most despotic dictators declare an amnesty when theres something to celebrate.

[Chris Houston]

Thanks for your kind wishes.   

Padlock key is coming to Papua New Guinea with me.   

[Benzerari]

Let me have a copy Chris

I have been contacted by a "connoisseur on British fire marks" who advises me that this item is a replica, not an original.  He states "None of their fire marks were issued in lead, only copper, brass, tinned iron and enamel."
