South Loop is a good idea. Cheaper than Lincoln Park and still not far from Aon.

I've been working in IT for just over 30 years now, 24 of them in the US. As people have said, a lot of jobs require a degree just to get a foot in the door. Do you have any project management...

Re: Last Night

Went to a football match (Blackburn Rovers at home to somebody - can't remember who) with my mates and then we got drunk in the pub. As we used to pretty much every night back then anyway. No special...

Re: To all Brits - Americans understand you?

I'm originally from Blackburn but I've been here 24 years (next month, anyway). I still get asked to repeat things on a regular basis. But I've always had a strong accent that hasn't really gone...

Re: On the finishing straight...

I hope it warms up a bit for you by the time you arrive. Bloody miserable Summer so far. We're averaging way below normal temperatures. 8th coolest Summer since 1871 so far, for what it's worth.

Re: Any help hugely appreciate it!!!

Freezing cold in Winter, but very nice in the Summer up there. Minneapolis is actually a great town. I've vacationed there a couple of times.

Re: New Top Gear Hosts?

Re: Winter has bypassed us.

One of the coldest (if not THE coldest) Februaries on record in Chicago. We're averaging 15F. Should be up around 36F this time of year. I'm so sick of Winter.

Re: Relocating to the US on L1 visa

Hopefully not. Although we are looking at sub-freezing temperatures for at least the next 10 days. Highs anywhere from 3F to a balmy 25F (about -16C to -4C). Bring a good coat. :)

Yeah, we got a bit more near the lake.

Re: How tall's the snow where you are?

I'll take your 11" and I'll raise you to 19". Or 21" where I live.
Plus 2-3 more inches tonight. Oh goodie. Even after 25 years here, I still hate the Winters. :)

15 inches of snow coming for Chicago tonight and tomorrow. I hate it. Tomorrow's going to suck.
