Hi Simon,

Yep K9 was somewhat of a legend of comp. No doubt he is still going strong in a science lab somewhere and still muttering 'affirmative' under his breath every 30 seconds

I live in South Normanton these days but still go down Beeston regulary to see family and friends etc. My parents live down Beeston Rylands

I used to live in New Basford many moons ago.

hi there NKSK, i like your moto....me too mate

althou i have lived nearly 5 yrs in mansfield
we were in nottingham before that born and breed there as they say lol
i lived in st.annes were i went to manvers perripoint comp
mind you nowadays it is a peoples collage
it is so nice to hear of so many of you getting out of the uk and from round here too
good luck all

hi susan, i agree, just listening to the weather forcast for this weekend reinforces oue desire for warmer weather. saying that i am going to Qatar for job interview on sunday, hopefully nicer than here.

susan how far are you with the visa process.

hi

there seems to be so many people wanting to move away from here, can't say i blame them really, i've always lived in and around notts, the worst place probably being eastwood! so as you can guess i'm looking forward to starting a new life down under

hi todd we havent even started yet got stuff to sort out here first and not only that scott my OH is finding it hard to get any wrk in oz think we may have to hold off till we can get over and stat knocking on some doors

Hi Susan, does your OH have to go through the Skills tests to be able to work in Oz.

Si

Hi Teagan, good luck with everything, I thought there are worse places to live in than Eastwood. LOL

there probably are worst places, i've just not come accross them yet,lol, it's not known as 'brown town' for nothing!

family still live there though, so do go back from time to time, experienced so much crime when i lived there though, more so than work colleagues who live in meadows, st anns, radford etc and from what my mum tells me it's getting worse all of the time.

I hear people on hear saying how bad crime is in Australia, but i really can't believe that it is any worse than here, my friends bf got shot a couple of years ago, whilst she was with him & she was pregnant at the time (he survived), they were coming out of the cinema, and also a friend from uni,her brother was murdered last year, they are a really nice family as well (although i didn't know her brother personally), she was devastated.

hi si no he hasnt couse scott job isnt on the SOL list
he is a cable layer/construction plant operator and he works for morgan=est
so i think we will have a long slog in front of us
good luck all

Hi, we are from notts as well, but actually like where we live!

can relate to the Eastwood thing tho, we used to live nearby and were burgled by brothers who were from Eastwood, we knew his name and address as he was stupid enough to leave behind a court letter from that day, for another burglary, with his name and address on!!!

Simon and Clare - have you heard anything at all yet? also wondered cos i know you have done skills assessment, after doing the practical how long roughly does it take to get everything together for your visa app?

Thanks

Bec & jonny

Hi
We have been in Aus 2 years now and came from Sandiacre. My OH Was Born & bred in Beeston and went to Chilwell comp. Think he must have left school around 1985.
