I am outta here, flying out on Tuesday Evening No Panic tho as Ive already Booked me return flights for the Scotland and England games,,and the fans games Have been mining and tunnelling the last 7 years so im hopeful of getting something on the London underground expansion or construction related. Spent the last 2 months changing my Irish cards over to CSCS tickets (Money Racket IMO) but it had to be done. Good luck. Great town and plenty of work on the tracks with big money to be made, especially if you don't mind working nights. I don't mind sending you on a contact in that game if you're having no luck... PM me if needed. would stay out north or west if i was you (head north west if in doubt), especially when you first land. city workers tend to head south (clapham etc), head bangers and hipsters head east.

Ok LI i just have to ask , what's happens in the middle ?

Will miss lots about the london , the pace, the football , going out to eat whatever you want, the diversity  ....always something worth doing . Whats the saying " when you are tired of London you are tired of life " or something ....can safely say its not the reason for leaving . London rocks

In the top 5 things wrong with London, Australians would have to be mentioned. You want to move to a country full of the bastards?

I would say you get very busy at Halloween?

You married an Ozzie and you follow Spurs? You into whips and chains as well?

Well we had established that you are not

Couldn't wait to get out of there i personally love Londo  the hustle and bustle of the place. Lived in Harrow to start and now Brentford, thinking of moving to Uxbridge next year if i don't get an offer from Aer to head home. I've been here coming 5 years and its flew in!  Love it here, but defiantly heading home to settle down hopefully in a few years  Defiantly what are you going to do move home with one arm raised and waving a flag or something :)

haha! You could say i wasted 7 years in London as all i ever done there was sleep really, i would drive to London through the night and then go to a hotel and sleep all day so the thing for me that sticks out is good driving and very enthusiastic hotel staff who will go to great lengths to give you a free newspaper!
