If you're thinking NG, then - well, I'd probably get a diesel Xant...

Indeed, taken the right way, this is a great opportunity - you don't have many things tying you down now, so why not cast the net a bit wider? The world is your mollusc, so why not find a job you really like in a place you really like, up-sticks and move? You don't need to settle for a so-so job because it's within commuting distance of suburban manchester - if you want to stay in IT, do it in a norwegian nursing college, or a Japanese goth clothing store or just get a job as a forestry worker in the Kielder. If you really want to make the best of things, then the hassle of flogging/renting a place shouldn't be a show-stopper. > You way back when, I really should have taken that advice about picking > up a 17 year old and doing europe on a Moped. Although perhaps Greece > wasn't the wisest choice of final destination with hindsight. I'm not convinced by the 17yr old either, unless we are talking about something bottled and peaty. The humanoid kind are best appreciated at a distance, where the neuroses and naivete don't grind so heavily on the nerves. |
