Brown ale for Brown sand. Hmmm. I think I agree with snowbunny on this one.

I think apart from the obvious .... the lifestyles of the two cities are based on the same level....... work hard and play hard.

Thats why Newcastle has the best nightlife in Britain and was in the top ten of europe at one point......


Thing is tho. is life better out there in the nevada desert ?

Cheers

OK

, married , 30 , no kids , no plans for kids, like sun, beer , cars , music, motorbikes, snowboarding and entertainment ( bands , films , shows , nights out etc ). I work hard and like to spend money when I'm not working... Used to working 65 - 90 hours per week, but love to enjoy my time off..

Easygoing like comedies etc...


Cheers

Paul.

Well that was before we knew he was married.

Only other way in -- job skills, unless the wife's a USC.

It's very difficult for most to get a visa to live here.

So it's natural for us to ask before embarking on a lengthy discussion only to find that someone enquiring about living here can't get the visa.

Even if you do work for a large American/Canadian company, it's still not easy to have the skills needed to transfer.

What month did you visit Vegas, cos it's freakin hot in the summer.

I personally couldn't live in Vegas but I guess if you're a party boy you could do Los Angeles after you tire of Vegas.

Know what u mean about the heat , when we visited it was 110 degrees! unbearable but my line of work is always indoors, we do like to go out and live it up..... but what we are looking for is the means to go and live it up.....

over here it is few and far between

thanks
