    Boiling

    Literally.

    It's hot, and it's raining here.

    Did I mention we landed last night finally in our new home.

    I'll post my musings as they come along. Though first up I've got a bit of a dilemma on the job front, seems like I might be returning to contracting after all (Got another offer, to be confirmed tomorrow), good rate etc.

    Also I reckon this place could be dangerous for married fellas with wandering eyes. The not so married ones would love it. I've just gone through about 100 Filipnio maid CV's and had to make a conscious effort to avoid shortlisting any single, childless, under 30 hotties (The bios all come with pictures, and some of them are well fit).
    Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

    Any forum is a collection of assorted weirdos, cranks and pervs - Board Game Geek

    That will be a simply fab time to catch up for a beer. - Tay

    Have you ever seen somebody lick the chutney spoon in an Indian Restaurant and put it back ? - Cyberghoul

        You wanna see one of the classes at the language school. Filopino mail order brides, to Scandi no less. So you can imagine with the average on the street hotness, the extreme hotness, when they're paying to bring one in.

          Depends on where you're pinging a real address that responds, or just making up numbers to yahoo.com ... ;-)

              love the AtW priorities: Snaw describes in depth the benefits of the far East, and he's more concerned with ping times.

                I think HAB has got him batting for the other side. Or maybe he was always that way inclined.

                Anyway exciting days, Snaw, keep us posted - its an option I am increasingly considering myself - i.e. moving to somewhere like Singapore
