    I hope so, tomcat! At least it's digressed in an entertaining fashion.

    Po, 'state schools' is how we refer to government schools.


    OP, just crash at your bro's place for a few months, do a bit of language school work so you can afford some sticky rice and be ready for peak hiring season nice and early. Sorted.

    Um, when is peak hiring season? That would come up in your research. Good luck

    Ah, meant state (government) as opposed to private.

    State school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Thanks Fleabag! Sounds like a plan. I've done just enough research to know when peak hiring takes place .

    I guess I'll have to negotiate the medical insurance side of things with a few enquiries. Just a bit confused at this stage, as most policies seem to cover hospital visits, but I'm not sure how I'd get meds that are easily available on prescription in the UK.

    ---Update---

    Anna Key - bingo! Rhymes with any '-inds' word you care to mention. It's also a homophone for a fairly well-known bean and ketchup vendor. Don't mention that to my face or I'll cry.

    I take 20gm of Citalopram daily. I'm fairly upfront about this - despite there being an inherent stigma attached to taking antidepressants it's never really troubled me to bring it up. People can think whatever they want to think. I don't sit around weeping all day - my body just doesn't produce enough serotonin, is all. Once it's under control it's nothing more than a niggling issue.

    Looks like it might be available over the counter, but I'll get my bro to check. Bloody hell, apparently ketamin's available too. That's, um, interesting.

    Nice one, Hindsy. Don't take no shit, right?

    Someone comes at you here. What you going to do? Bang! Bang! Straight into that fucker, that's what.

    You can be in my gang then, yeah? Top gang. Best gang on Ajarn, yeah? They shit themselves when we strut into town, seriously. you'll see, Hindsy. They shit themselves when I talk about roasting times and caramelising onions. They run like fuck, man.

    It's just me at the moment mind. But hey, it's like Microsoft or summat. This is an opportunity.

    Late night Mondays.

    What are you gunna do.

    Welcome to the board Jon.
    We could all sit outside on banana lounges discussing the best way to rebuild a 4WD transmission and agree, through shared stories of conquests supporting our assertions, that there is no basis to the proposition that those least assured of their persuasions are the first to condemn others for theirs.
