    Just checked with BA and the price of turn left tickets has not gone down. Well, that's supply and demand for you.

      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Things to follow....

          - Can't find a job.

          - Wife divorces and fecks off with the BTLs, dog and kids. Seeks solace with AtW.

          - Bank seizes the house and car.

          - Blood pressure and Diabetes will follow.

          - Moved into a Council House.

          - Gets into another fight at the local and rewarded with a proper criminal record.

          Don't be disheartened MF. There's a lot to look forward to.

              Not hit me yet. Work my month. Finish and get straight on plane to US with family to Orlando for 3 weeks. Business class naturally. Then sometime during August, probably as I work out the cost of the trip and see the bank balance going down will I then question my sanity for walking out of a job that had salary, shares and bonus at 300k for the next year.

                True but there is no point being divorced, stressed or the richest corpse in the graveyard....

                Go and take the money you have and do something that interests you...

                  Well that's my thinking. As a contractor I measured myself on what I could earn and having a warchest just in case. That stayed with me into Perm and money came naturally as being promoted and building a team. Last straw was in Feb when I was told not to do anything technical as that was the remit of IT and my boss said if I didn't like it I should fook off to IT.

                  So I set myself the end of May, that day went and I kept working, bored and being undermined from the U.S. I was going to hang on until August as that month was worth 40k but would have meant me working during my holiday. I decided yesterday that life was too short, my warchest was healthy and let my heart go over my head.

                  No doubt I will have a massive downer at some point.

                      Does CUK have a specially reinforced bench?
