BTW I can't find my Dennis the Menace & Gnasher tie.
No my father-in-law made it from scratch. It has steak, peas, carrot, potato, and gravy inside. I'll be having it with mash potato and some asparagus and courgette i'll do on the BBQ grill

Shouldn't you be wearing a Desperate Dan Cow Pie Tie?

What was the waiting period..i mean how long had you been in your job not to have to pay back relocation costs?

I swear noone has jobs where I'm living. I've just taken the kids out for a walk and everyone is out jogging, playing tennis, doing weird Tai Chi type stuff and I've just seen a mother and her kids AND nanny. Wtf??!!!

Tell me about it. I ask myself the same in Vancouver while i'm out on the beach during the day or snowboarding. What do these lazy buggers do for a living that they can sit on the beach or snowboard all day?

I joined in Nov 07 and the period was 2 years ( second year being a 50% payback ). However, OD got it wrong when they told me 2 years, it was actually 2 years from receipt of last payment. As we delayed moving until after the school year was finished ( June 10 ), this meant that instead of Nov 09 being the two years it was actually June 12.

The new company were actually quite generous in offering to pay half of what I owed to get me to start earlier. however, they left the later start date on the table so I went for that instead.

Maybe my post was a little too subtle for the masses

And you're probably right to some extent. Illegal drugs are rife on the west coast. I ****ing hate the smell of marijuana on a nice sunny evening. Moreso when the smokers throw the end onto the floor (or beach) afterwards
