Re: What do you miss most about the UK?
It was shocking. They had my resume in front of them [it was with 3 people], yet asked me questions about have I done this, have I done that, what example can I give them where I have used the software, have I ever done anything dynamic???? [I think the fact I lived in a non english speaking country for 5 years is pretty dynamic...] Anyway, they could see from my resume I had no experience in what they were asking. So rather then seeking what I could do, they focused on what I couldn't. They are also using an agency to find someone, and last night I found the advert on seek.com, its obvious I am not the right person for the job, so it was a waste of time really. I feel like paying my rent up front for 6 months, and moving to Nimbin.
Anyway, how are you doing?

Dont get disheartened
Dont even jest about moving to Nimbin.
I've just packed my 1st box of books and a mate is on her way over to take away my sofas, feels funny but alls fine n dandy........I'm heading back to UK.
Hope the neighbours not still being a tosser

In some of the shopping malls there are often discount book stalls which sell them much cheaper than the usual bookshops. I guess there isn't the same variety but I've bought a few books like this. I've also noticed that some Ezy Video stores often have a book section now and you can trade in your old books for video credit.

I'm waiting for my passport renewal b4 booking but moving out in a few days.
Sofas just gone - all feels quite surreal n odd at times.
Even though I want to go and am sure its the right move, feel kinda sad too
Sorry to op......back to what everyone misses
