This has worked out well.......although I 'left' the BBC six weeks ago I have been on long service leave since then and my employment actually comes to an end with them this Monday (30th April)and today I have been offered a new job (totally different to what I have been doing before - so a complete change of direction) - It is a medium sized retail company with their HQ just outside High Wycombe, so as a result, I will be back in full gainful employment as from mid-May.

Ken , congrats mate , as you know ( being in the know ) ive not worked since the start of November . Ive been enjoying meself far too much , galavanting aal ower the world and not letting up on any activities in the meantime . So it is with the deepest regret that I am no longer one of the great unwashed and cannot just walk down the road onto the beach , swim , read and watch the Aussie chicks . Instead i have sensibly rejoined the human race and am doing Commodities and interest rate derivatives with the biggest bank over here Westpac . Canny job , Canny company , Canny money and tax scams like you wouldnt believe ( only kidding Mungo ;-) ) . Its been nice , but all good things come to an end ... shorts off , suit on and oot the door at 7 am , i must be bliddy mad ! Ken lerrus know how its all gannin , its like the first day at school the preperations . Ill drink one for you tonight .. and a couple for meself :)))

Congrats to both of youse - especially ITK who's unemployment was less "self inflicted" ;-) and hasn't allowed him to swan aroung the world ogling chicks! Does that mean we'll be seeing more of you back online fellas? Hope so. This community is a great place and having a contributor from High Wycombe (albeit the local sweet shop) and Oz's biggest bank has to be good news!

BYW Sting. I thought it was cool to go to work in Oz with a jacket and shorts. Mind, I think they draw the line at NUFC footy shorts - and your legs ;-)

Gav i'll let you know of any possibilities for you ower here ... actually spotted two waiting for the interview ; thats what i call forward vision . Now Screach as for my legs like , just because you scored six goals in Hyde Park does not mean you have the shout on legs ;-) We'll see what happens on Sunday arvo down at the beach , Mins tekkin his camera so mebbes we can have them pictured up here , on the ' One for the ladies ' thread . Any other contributors ??
