    Back on the Bench

    Apart fom a couple of training contracts and going on a training course at the end of the month.

    Have 2 contracts fighting over me.

    Now, do I take the Bristol one or the Switzerland one?

    Choices, choices...

    Until then, time for shopping...

      Ah wow, good for you lass!

      Are both jobs pretty similar?

      Switzerland would be a great experience I bet (unless you've already worked there before like).

      I think what yuo need to do is do a bit of research on t'internet to find out which blokes are sexier - that should make the decision easier

          The rate's better for Bristol and I'd end up with more money in my pocket by the end of the contract.

          Living on the banks of Lake Geneva again is tempting, however...

              Shhhh... Switzerland is boring, everybody is ugly and incompetent, there are no good pubs or bingo palaces. Everybody is better off in the UK where taxes are low, the government gives you everything you want, crime is very low and the quality of life is the best in the world.
              I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                Apparently Switzerland is very good at hiding it's problems, e.g. drug abuse
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  Yes people are very sad there. Not like in the UK where everybody constantly smiles at the risk of permantently damaging your jaws.
                  Yes and everything it's so expensive. Can you believe a small jar of marmite can cost even 5 pounds? Don't go there. Stay in UK, everything is cheap and cheerfull there.
