How is that a risk?

He might survive?

[Old Greg]

Within a fairly narrow band of dimwittery though. With scootie, there's the insurance risk that he'll slip on his own dribble.

But good to see there's still a contract market for cockwombles.

Give the pimp a break. He'd been given the brush-off all day, spotted your CV and needed a laugh.

Totally blows me away they can make those offers with a straight face. After living costs it's practically slavery!

you'd hate SE england, too, - try manchester or wales?

He's only got the Thistle Hotel Heathrow to go by, so of course he does.

Ireland is an awful place. Definitely don't come here, scoots.

It's much better since you left. Kindly stay the **** away!

Much better you say? When I left.. houses were cheaper, living costs manageable, fewer food banks, a functioning government, the list goes on and on.

Scotland were made to toe the line, we've voted to leave the EU.

Yep. Things are a lot better.

You make it sound the place I left will still be the same place on my return.

why you coming back and looking for a pay rise?

Agents from the UK call me up 2-3 times a month with serious offers, usually England based jobs with rates circa in 2005.

Wait until the end of the year

[wattaj]

but we don't have any local experts (willing to work for £12K) an its more difficult to avoid tax if you pay someone in the UK.

Indeed. Rates are already in a tailspin in Scotland with FTC the new norm. It's looking pretty bleak for the year ahead, so I'm pretty glad to have squirrelled away whilst the sun was shining.
