I went for a contract in Siberia once and then I saw the datacenter on TV and promptly turned it down. It was in the middle of nowhere, not even a town, just miles and miles of tundra. A friend worked in one of these places once with some Russians and said they're a bit strange, especially when it came to farting. Brits tend to find it a bit funny and will pop one off now and then at work. The Russians would go outside in the minus weather. I personally would rather tulip my pants then go outside in that weather...

Guess that also explains the phrase "going for a tinkle", if it's a guy - By the time their wee hits the ground it's frozen solid and makes a tinkling noise like broken glass.

Wrong, it's just more polite than saying "Going for a piss!".

It does not make a tinkling noise if it hits Wilmslow's shoe.

Why you never speak about the countries you live or you want to live in and you just pick up on poor ol' lil' England?

For example,I have heard that the rate crime in CZ is one of the highest in the world, by the way.

I'm in Sydney

2 month winter..! Then it's sunny again..Say no more..

You will earn a lot less than in the UK - that's ok for a year but after several years this starts to annoy you. If I was doing it again i'd stay in London another 10 years, apply for PR from the UK and come here cashed up - because it's very hard to get ahead here financially. The best parts of Oz are in Queensland - but all the IT work is in Sydney - if I was cashed up i'd be up North where the sun shines all year round.

The working culture in Sydney is the same, or worse than London - long hours, but less pay.

Once you've been round Oz you will have to spend a lot of money for a decent holiday. It's all the same, mile after mile after mile.

Rent is very pricey here because there is an influx of immigrants and no building going on.

Most revealing

I love London...and would love to live down there. Wife hates it (she's a bit racist). But if I could sell my first born to get a house...I'd definitly go.
