Congrats

Travelling is definitely better than being benched. Hope the gig is good enough to help dull the pain.

Where are you going to be working? If its in London, get yourself out for a beer and meet some like minded greedy money grabbing pissheads, I mean, contractors.

Well done.

You gotta do what you've gotta do.

Well done.

Working away can be a pain but at least you're off the bench.

Congrats.
