I know I should be happy, I've landed a lovely shiney new gig, just been granted my security clearance status today, and am working for my current client right up until the day before my new gig starts.....

However I have the screaming humphs

I dont want to move to stupid London

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As one who spent most of his adult life in London I can sympathise.

I managed to escape eventually.

Loved it when I was in my 20s (early 1980s) but it's become a filthy, expensive, crime-ridden shytehole now. I avoid it as much as possible.

But it's nice down here. Much better than the frozen wastelands up norf.

they don't just serve shandy down there!

It's really not that bad. We go out drinking ...

As a Glaswegian living and working down here, what do you mean?! It's the best, love it. Just met up with an Edinburgh punter who I worked with this year in London, and he's whinging that he no longer goes out every lunch time for 4 beers. Is expected to put the hours in etc etc now that's he's back ... London baby!

I can understand that completely, Sal. I turned down a four month extension to get out of London, and am hoping for something handy near home to turn up.

I absolutely hated the two years I was there - project was good, people I was working with were pretty decent, I just can't stand London.

Enjoy it - it's obviously the price for being a Geordie in Sunderland!!

You were telling us how happy you were this time last week Sally!

I've a reasonable chance to get a decent role in IB stuff on Canaray Wharf... but the cost of living close enough makes the rate (£400) look a bit mediocre (I figure I'm down to £300 tops after accommodation & transport) and I can't see the point of going to work in London if I don't get a ton of cash for it. I suppose getting an IB gig would be good for future gigs... but only if I continue to work in London long-term
