*sneezes* I'm allergic to packing.

I don't really mind the packing (clothes-wise), fairly used to that. It's just all the other stuff, organising what to bring, what i need etc that I'm hating!!!

I also have nothing to decorate my room with... I'm worried I'm gonna feel like I'm in a prison cell lol.

How much stuff is everyone bringing...like in terms of how many bags and average size of said bags. I really think I'm bringing too much! :s-smilie:

So far I've packed one suitcase (kind of a medium sized one), 4 old school bags, one big carrier bag and I have a few more things to pack.

So far i've got my big 6x3ft b&w Reservoir Dogs poster, and my Welsh flag. They're going straight on the wall :yep:

Obviously you've always had the Dragon Flag on your profile, though I never imagined you to be Welsh. :s-smilie:

Have you got a broad Welsh accent?

I don't have a Welsh accent in the slightest! Used to, but then I developed a Northern accent, then moved to Canada and got a horribly thick Canadian accent. Now it's like a sort of neutral English accent, unable to pick out any regions from it. Typical of any RAF kid, I guess!

I was born in Cardiff, my driving license says Wales, my birth certificate is bilingual, in English and Cymru. So I do consider myself Welsh!

I have one massive bag on wheels [the kinda sports bags used as suitcases] 1 cardboard box, 1 massive laundry bag full of bedding, 4 or 5 canvas tote bags [shopping kind] and er...4/5 plastic boxes?

Then I'll have my laptop bag, a large handbag, erm....

I truly have too much stuff.

I just realised I don't have a laptop bag! I really cannot think of a single thing to put this in for tommorow :no:

you'll just have to carry it in. Unload all your other stuff first from your car and then bring your laptop in on its own.

That's amazing. A northern accent turning into a Canadian one must be very very rare.

Though when you're an RAF kid who's been shuttled around the world you've been exposed to a lot of different regions and people, I suppose.

I think it's funny how after undergoing so many changes your accent has now lost any distinctive features and fizzed out into a standard English one, though. :biggrin:

It's as if it represents the completion in your cycle of developing new accents.

And, out of interest, have you ever lived at Brize Norton at all?

Yeah it's a bit of a shame that I have this standard accent with no unique sound at all.

Ermm, i lived in RAF Brize Norton briefly, in transit accommodation before I moved to Goose Bay in Canada. Only for about 3 weeks though!

LOL! What are the odds of me meeting someone who's lived at Brize in the past on here?!?!

Haha. I've had some stranger coincidences. A couple of my friends in Canada, they moved back to the UK about 2 years before I did. Then when we moved back here I ended up living about 5 minutes away, we ended up going to the same school and all joined the ATC, and I still see them every other day pretty much. Bar family, they're the people i've known longest in my life that i'm still in contact with - 9 years.

That just shows how much it sucks having to move around alot because of the Forces, how the people i've known the longest and still see are only for 9 years! Wish I had friends i'd been with my whole life!
