The FC around here tends to be Random Halal.

If he's started doing requests there's a backlog and a half to deal
with, surely?

You get as many as you want free by copying the original.

According to R4 this morning most people discard the third book in
BTGTF offers.

You get Agent free if you are a beta tester. Mixi will explain how it
works.

I might be naive here, but inspecting my new shiny working
killfile I see Magma has used a good number of email addresses to
confuse killfiles, I had thought she was a bit of a grammar
freak, not a troll. Live and learn.

Yes. Thank you for the proof-reading service.

That's very much the pattern here. There is formal networking through
agencies, and informal networking of friends.

We get a lot of people with good levels of formal qualification, but
many of them take a low-grade job because that is what is available.
Two years in a meat factory or serving meals at Irish rates of pay and
they can go home with the price of a house.

Unless all of "us" buying up property over there has created a bubble,
of course. (Which is the counter-worry to the "floods of immigrants"
meme.)

get in Turkey.

I can't believe they would prefer Romania and Bulgaria admitted BEFORE
Turkey! I know which place I would rather invest in.

I don't think the explanation to this has anything to do with
economics....
