    Uncle Sam can give you a job working abroad very easily.

    Anyone up for it? You know what they say, join the marines and feel a man.

    Interesting stuff, seems Europe and Australia/NZ are taking the lead.

    Too bad there are more countries than items allowed on the voting list.

    i have a 3 month contract role for a VB.net guy in Marbella, Costa Del Sol, Southern Spain.

    Rates are considerably lower than in the uk, but if you fancy a busmans holiday drop me a mail (salary on offer is High for this area so you WILL have a good time!).

    You would be paid by a UK PLC so no worries about being messed about with your salary....

    Fancy sitting on the beach with a drink this time next week ? (It was 70 degrees and sunny today BTW!!!!)

    Didn't know there was a market for renting out cats

    I just move around to the other side of the bar when that happens.

    Much better to put the hammock up in the shade.
