      Thanks. I am really pleased its a contract. Banks are under offshoring pressure the whole time now.

      In the team of 8 I was in there were 2 Indians on UK visas. I can see them being shipped back to India at some point.

              #4 and #5 are away too. #3 appears for 10 minutes a day and is usually already pissed. Still, at least his poison is legal now.

              Hopefully he's moving out soon - today I offered a month's deposit on his rent to encourage him. He'll be 30 next month - really time to feck off I think.

                Does he work?

                ZeitSis was desperate to get ZeitNephew into some sort of job.

                She finally managed it after he got married.

                  Yes, he's working for a plumber, but on minimum wage-ish, but hopefully acquiring skills for the future. He's had lots of problems with addiction, and just getting himself straightened out but old habits die hard and I am scared to ask too many questions - I prefer to delude myself that everything is fine.

                    I suspect what he needs is a good woman. But I also suspect a good woman wouldn't have him, so I guess I'm stuck!

                      That's tomorrow's links sorted out and ready to go

                      I'm rather pleased with them - the web has been generous with its bounty this week
