Re: The Skills Plane!
Actually I've been doing some research Jon!
And I've found out about the time you were turned away from making donations at The Sperm Bank!
Cos they'd already had a tipoff that you were a useless w¿nker!

Re: The Skills Plane!
That's a great catchphrase for those "Place in the Sun" programmes!
It's a pity poor old Michel Thomas is dead.....he could have made a fortune in "Bullshitting in Spanish" lessons.
Then the Spanish could listen to the total cack that we have to put up with!
It amazes me how they still think of Britain as a very educated, cultured, and refined country.

Re: The Skills Plane!
It's great isn't it?
It runs from every airport in Britain and beams highly skilled Brits into Spain on a daily basis. All of whom immediately possess a CV full of successful entrepreneurial activity and a multidude of skills ranging from space exploration to taxidermy. But I made the big mistake of coming by car so I'm just stuck doing the same job here that I did for 20+ years back there!
So shut down all the UK universties, colleges etc....forget all about doing your time as a tradesman.....just get a ticket for the Skills Plane! It's a bit like The LoveBoat.....but without the romance and the bald captain!
Hell....if they turned the damn thing around midflight and took them all back to Britain, all the country's financial and social problems could be cured overnight.
So....did you come over on The Skills Plane?

That the planes going back are full of the ones whose bright ideas (open a bar, a cafe, Teach English, work from home via the net, open a buisiness etc etc) a short time before and have spent their savings and still can't make ends meet....these are the dumbest and most screwed up going back to the UK for a life of mediocrity, hoping for a union/government job and some stability?
Somehow I am guessing there are many on the return planes like that. Disillusioned, defeated, downtrodden...

Re: The Skills Plane!
There's no doubt that many try.....and many fail. But there are success stories too. And I honestly think it comes down to the individual.
If you come here with a plan, and with accredited skills and experience that people actually need, learn the language, and gain a good reputation for what you do then you're on the way.
If however, you come here professing to be every thing to every man, then you're going to be found out very soon.
Basically, if you did OK in Britain, then there's no reason you can't do the same here. And conversely, if you were a knuckle dragging dumbass in Britain then you'll be the same here.
We are who we are.....wherever we are!
