So Hands-Up who lives in the UK

Come on, own up... I'm in Scotland meself.

I'm in England. Though i might disown our football team after last nights dismal defensive performance. ;)

Im in Derbyshire :)

An exiting match non-the-less.

This is gooooooood. Now we're beginning to open up...

*raises hand*

Sheffield.

:(

I'm a Scot.

Last nights match was very enjoyable.

:)

(At least you never got stuffed 5-0 like we did!!!!)

England!

I like Scotland.

England's the rectum of Europe.

That's because we can take any S*@t someone throws at us

Manchester by the way

Gazza

Variously in parts of Durham, Stockton and Middlesbrough.

So where in Scotland, Ishamel? I'm in Haddington...

And what's wrong with England, eh gfk? Parts of it are quite nice (the bits where there are no people)

I think you mean the bits where there are no people, and the bits where people haven't dumped all their rubbish on.

(which doesn't leave a lot, really).

Dunfermline, but I work in Edinburgh.

I love Scotland. I am actually (sheepish) English, but my wife and two kids are Scots, I suppose. Couldn't afford to live around London anymore anyway... Besides, there's no room to with all that rubbish about.

I was in Edinburgh two weeks ago. Great place. :)

I went egg rolling not so long ago in Peebles

Don't know why

Maybe some can tell me why?

Had a laugh

'cos you were desperately bored??

Watford, here

Hooray to Beckham for giving those Man-U haters the finger, last night in the tunnel!

Nice one Dave

My hand also goes up :)

BTW gfk, "ee up laddi" :) :) :)

REM

Me Too.

Buckingham - England

Macclesfield, which is 15 miles from Old Trafford, which gives me the right to support Man U. Not than I'm paranoid, I just know what everyone's thinking.

London, Leeds and Rutland(a small part of Lestershire that claims to be a county) I'm Arsnal Meself but I'm still in favor of the finger action.

that´s the spirit Sam. Arsenal is king of the hill.

best regards PRGRMR

Ok so Scotland really rocks...but the rest of the place is full of whingers. Last time l was there, the place was cold, damp, and full of pollution.

You guys may want to have John Howard, he could have a warm beer with Tony Blair, then we could get on with the job of having an Aussie Republic. Ruth Cracknell for President.

Any by the way the Northern Spirit would do all your teams!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):) Well not really could probably match it with the Scumthorpe Womens Auxiliary team though.

A Walla Wallaby

Isle of Man, anyone else?

I'm From the place that the Times newspaper called "Inner City suberb by the sea", or as every one else know's it Hastings. But I work all over the country because there is no Programming jobs in the south east.


Also to PRGRMR and Sam, I'm a season ticket holder at Highbury and Go to the Gooner's almost every game.

Hey markwestcott, I used to line in Oxhey Ave, and then in Grange Road (ok, technically that's Bushey), where you at?

And who the hell put all that stuff about Northern Line Spirits in my post? I used to go on the northern line and there was plenty of empty bottles but...

Ok my company have a sale in England...however with that they want some Universe/VB resources to spend a year or so adding mods etc.......

Ok so the Creature from the Black Lagoon, (my Boss) asked me and another guy if we would be interested in going to London to do the work........Hmmmm.......apparently the client will pick up our salaries and is offering a contract rate of 35...hmmm they don't have pound symbols on the keyboards anymore. Is this good? What is the range of contract rates in the UK and particularly in London.

Is this enough to support a family of three, including rent etc.

Any help gratefully recieved

Hi Jethro

£35 an hour is about average for vb programming with all the big bucks contracts normally now going to web stuff where you can get anything up to about £50 an hour for ASP(I'm Doing this at the moment:D).

As for living expenses, it depends on where you want to stay. If your thinking of living in central London then be warned, there are lots of nice areas to stay but can be very expensive. My suggestion is to find a nice house on the outskirts of London and commute in. if you do this the price of the house will be a damn site more cheaper.


Hope this helps

Ian

I can't believe that Martin confessed right after your doll left. He should have kept his mouth shout. Whilst watching GMTV this morning I discovered that they were having a poll on whether Gail should dump Martin?? What does any-one reckon??? I reckon she definately should - even though she looks like a gerbil she could probably pull again.
I agree with the football lover - I could definately not possibly eat dessert without choclate!! I can't imagine anything worse!! (apart from football)
*******************

I think she looks like ET's sister.

:D

I can tell you she really does look like that in the flesh.
I saw her a couple of weeks ago in Manchester.

Yes that is her real hair

Soaps and football.

The opiates of the proletariat (but internationals ARE different - war by other means, fantastic jingoism! makes you proud etc etc!).

Football is boring and full of actors. Switch onto Rugby Union....the game they play in heavan. Go the Blacks!!!

The ABC (aussie BBC clone) canned Cornation Street much to my Wifes horror.......

Yeah rugby is much better. At least there is some pain involved in that game!!

yer right about that. I'm in Malvern, BTW (Worcester for everyone else). What's the problem with football? I think it's great fun - especially when you take your man down with stud marks all over his shins / thighs / backside / face / chest / back / feet / etc.

PS: GOOD LUCK ENGLAND ON SATURDAY AND TEACH THOSE BL**DY GERMANS A LESSON!!!!!! (nice of them to take Bierhoff off...)

How many times have ya seen it. A player is brought down, he then proceeds to roll around on the ground for a few minutes pretending he is in agony.:(:(:(

Any self respecting Rugby player would carry on with the gasme and get even in a ruck or maul
