My missus wants to work in Oxford, but I'm not sure I can get much Access development work there. Still, she says she might know of someone. Also, it's closer to her AIDS treatment centre.

I got a real problem guys
I am moving to Oxford on a long term lucrative contract, my bit on the side is desperate to join me but her pussy of an ACCESS developer husband is scared that he wont find work.
So now I have to pretend to emply the sad sack just so I can rag his missus round the bedroom 5 days a week
sheesh , life is so unfair

Plus the shopping is crap, council are in the university's pocket and the transport strategy is pants! (basically involves painting bus lanes and banning cars; as well as one-way systems.
What I do mind is the seriously over priced housing! Rather be where you are..Bristol..at least I have a chance at some work there.
But then again..once in your life you can say "Yeah I lived in xxxx and it was xxx." There arn't any seven foot tall lizards around are there..
BTW I've seen the ST lizard figurine at a shop in the northern quarter of M'cr. It was no where near Seven foot tall...more like 4".

btw this is also the only reason you should consider:

So - like all married men - I must carry on in my misery until my youngest leaves the nest (at age 35). Which means - looking for work in and around oxford. Last time I look there wasn't any.Last edited by lilelvis2000; 22 April 2006, 21:37.

Lived in Oxford for four and a half years.... expensive.... but great totty. The students are quite elitist but some are fit as hell... nice pubs too.
Ditch the missus and move there yourself.....
As for IT jobs there are some small consultancies, not much of a contracting industry in the city itself. Publishing is big business.

From the cheap centre of the world - according to Jack Straw..to the expensive confines of Oxford and the spoiled students which inhabit it.
Now I've just got to find something that pays more than the crappy rate I'm on now. I'm not even aware if Oxford has any IT jobs within it at all.
how do I get outta this one? anyone?Tags: None
