If it's any consolation, its turning into summer here, and the winter wasn't exactly bad (like a rainy irish summer)

What's the work situation like there now?

Viewing figures for Big Brother are very low now . The start year was 2000 - peaked in 2007 and have fallen away since to dramatic low .

So - tailing our economic performance . Both were charercterised by excess , poor taste and poor judgement

Viewing figures for the Rose of Trallee have bounced back to an amount not since 2000.

Now that we have no arse in our trousers again - are we seeking comfort in a bygone tradition ? ( She does have a lovely bottom )

ah ye back to good old days........when your bag of chips would get stuck behind the sliding glass panels of the atm when you drunkenly entered the incorrect pin and it locked your card in. And when Mastercard was Access!

A lot better than home, jobs have been lost but at the same the are still regularly advertised on a number of sites. but, they tend to be strict on selection. As lots of architects are out of work, senior position are coming up alot. Another problem, is the fact that Technologists don't exist over here. So I'm in a sort of limbo, Architectural drafter sells me short, but occasional you'll see CAD architect, which is closest I suppose. I've only had one interview and I got the job, casual temp position, 6 six weeks work etc, going into week 11 now so i must be doing something right

I just heard an ad there for Airtricity stating savings of 13% and they have a tagline of something like "that's five weeks for free". I know I fail at maths sometimes but there are 52 weeks in a year and 13% of 52 is 6.76 weeks. Surely someone had to have done the basic maths before approving that ad for telly.

That was probably some marketing graduate that had his grades inflated so his college could meet their target 1st class honours degree quota.
