Houston, Texas

[Lee]

Does anyone know what it is like to live out in Houston :confused:

My current project is coming to a close (just as well, im bored off my tits) and i can have a job in Houston if i want. But what is it like, i imagine Texas as being like the wild west :lol: but i imagine things have moved on a bit now.

If anyone knows then please feel free to share your views :thumbsup:

Have you seen Dallas? Its nothing like that.

Have you seen the Hill-billies? I don't think it is anything like that either.

Im hoping it is like Dukes of Hazard cos that is cool. But really I doubt it.

Ive had a job emailed to me too in Houston, Texas. Might even apply for it. LOL.

Everything's bigger in Texas :D

Its not bad over there, my cousin (whos canadian) lived in Houston, North Carolina (slightly hic-ville, ex-dry state!!!), South Dakota, and has now moved back to Dallas saying Texas is the best place she's ever lived and she should never of moved.

Property is pretty cheap out there, they bought a huge detached house with a pool for what we paid for our small semi :(

Lee,

Friend of mine currently lives and works for an IT company in Dallas, another has just returned from several years in Houston working for an oil company. Both rate the quality of life over and above the UK. Any specific info you're after, I can always drop them a line?

I know nothing about Houston.
Except:

There are more obese people per head of population in Houston than anywhere else in the world

[Lee]

I`m pretty tempted to give it a shot to be honest, you can get a 4 bed house for about $140k

[GRIFF55]

any room in a case for me!!:D

I never lived there but I've been there quite a few times, It's pretty nice but San Antonio is much better. Don't buy a house over here, the market is over-saturated with sh***y houses that have been foreclosed on. I'm in Illinois by the way!

[Lee]

Cheers mate.

Why are you up so early, have you sh!t the bed :eh?:

[Snakesonaplayne6]

Eh? Nah, It's only 'bout 4 or so. I should say the same for you, It's 8:30 or so your time. besides I don't sleep at "night".

[Lee]

Its 10 am although i have been in work since 8 :(

[Snakesonaplayne6]

Oh my bad, that sucks. What kind of job? Are you a Vicar? lol.

[Lee]

Rent boy :woot:

[Snakesonaplayne6]

Bloody hell, lol. rent boy as in a male escort? You have to be at work for that at eight in the morn?

[Lee]

I was only joking mate :lol:

im an engineer really :blush:

[Snakesonaplayne6]

oh, lol. I guess thats a fitting job for someone who's in rc, I might be the only male nurse in the hobby.:D

[Lee]

Kopite on here has been known to nurse males, but i think that is slightly different to what you do :thumbsup:

I wish i did a job that actually mattered :thumbsup:

[Snakesonaplayne6]

engineers are pretty important too. I got a question about the racing scene over there. A lot of magazines over here are saying that electric off road is dead, does it seem that way over there?

[Lee]

No over here it has had a boom over the last few years, our nationals are full and there are people on the reserve list. Last year i was 20+ reserve for some meetings :o

1/8 off road is popular over here too but i think that is because the 1/10 guys are trying their hand at it, and cleaning up :woot:

I would say right now 1/10th off road is probably one of if not the most popular class in the uk :thumbsup:

[daz]

Ive just laid pipe:thumbsup: Is it gay to suck the pipe back up? or is it ok cos its exiting before re- entering, answers on a post card..

[Lee]

Daz, sucking pipe is not good, you should be ashamed of yourself :o

[daz]

No i didnt suck pipe as such, I just nipped it back up cos the dog started barking (hmmm that sounded wrong, i give him a bone first:thumbsup:)...

Think il stop digging now.............:blush:

[Darren Boyle]

Lee a vicar, now that would be funny.

Preaching away in his Frank Root shirt..............

[Lee]

I think the "root" omits a calming influence amongst drivers. We had hardly any fights this weekend when i was drivers rep :thumbsup:

Im not sure if anyone got a pic but it actually read Lee root, which confused people as they thought my name was lee mag :o

[smokes]

oh, lol. I guess thats a fitting job for someone who's in rc, I might be the only male nurse in the hobby.:D

Yeah but think of all those nice female colleagues you work with.....

[ashleyb4]
