Hi all, my name is Andrew Rondeau and I`m from a seaside town called Worthing in the UK (quite near Brighton!). Anyone heard of Worthing or been there?

Anyway I joined SUN about a week ago and love the site! Already posted a few topics so I`m not absolutley new but I had never introduced myself.

I recently set-up my own article directory, http://www.greatmanagement.org/
The directory covers many topics on leadership, management and careers. All feedback welcome - what are your views?

That`s me and I look forward to `talking` with as many of you as possible over the coming months.

Cheers.

Andrew

Well, even though I`ve already chatted with you more than once ... welcome again! You`ve been making some great contributions to this site, and I really do appreciate you being here!

I`ve never introduced myself either ... they didn`t have this forum when I started. Should I go back and do that now?

I haven`t been to the UK, but I did watch the Tour de France go through there, and of course this week is the British Open. Does that count?

Hi  nhgnikole

thanks for replying. Not too sure watching the TDF counts as visiting the UK!

A bit more on Worthing:

BOB MONKHOUSE: Monkhouse moved to Worthing in 1939 as war with Germany was brewing, his family believing he was safer on the coast than in London.

HAROLD PINTER: The famous playwright lived in Worthing with his family during the early 1960s

OSCAR WILDE: Literary legend Oscar Wilde wrote his famous novel, the Importance of Being Earnest, while staying at a Worthing hotel

Oh and we have a pier!

We have some .... really nice parks over here.

Welcome to SUN. I have read some of your posts. You seem like a great guy from the UK! I have never been abroad.I do work with the Financial Investment Network who`s headquarters are in London,  I plan to maybe next year go there and meet with some friends there. I would love to ride on those cobblestone streets. Paris is another place I plan on taking my daughter to. Can`t wait to get to know you more!!

Erin,

what a lovely response - thank you!

I used to live and work in London and I do miss the hustle and bustle sometimes. I go there about once or twice a month now on business. It`s now `open` 24 hours. No matter what time you are in London there are always hundreds of people around. When I say London I do mean central London.

Paris - do it! It is beautiful. My wife and I last visited a couple of years ago. A great city with lots to see and do.

Bit of trivia.  Everyone know that posh stands for:  port out starboard home ?  It`s the side of the ship you wanted to be on when sailing to Europe.

We have a great little store here in Chicago called POSH & it`s loaded with all kinds of wonderful  European finds -- plates, silverware, frames, signs....  A fun place to poke around in.

thanks Andrew!

I really liked what your website has to offer. Great stuff. Very informational and interesting topics are discussed!

Is that what that "Posh Spice" is named after. I have to say with everything going on in the world, to devote such TV time to a celebrity like that...what a mess.. Can`t we use that time to inform more folks of more important things?

Anyway............ Thanks guys!!
