Somewhere between 5 and 10 years. Hong Kong and Singapore for a couple of years each back in the 1960s and Germany on several occasions throughout the period 1958-74.

I work for a living.

I'm sure that many of us do.

I've only spent 6 years in my home country, 29 years in foreign lands.

Adding up all the time you've spent out on off-shore rigs, how long do you think you have collectively on them?

On site? ehh.. I'd have to guess 10 - 12 months in total.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Somewhat over 6 months in Brussels. Since I can't count less-than-one-month stays that's it.

I have been living for a year in Germany. However, I return regularly to Paris for the weekend.

Time spent in France and Portugal obviously not included.
