presently I'm on a government sponsored scheme. They sponsor me to sit here writing this for about 65 pounds a week.

I'm looking for a job overseas teaching English having just done work of this nature over the Summer teaching European kids in Britain.

I have literally no idea where I could end up but I'm not massively concerned by that I'll just be glad to be grafting again.

NB: I've been told recently I have a good mic' voice. And I've always believed I look well in a shirt or suit. I secretly harbour the ambition to become Britain's answer to Michael Buffer in the future (although I prefer Lennon Junior myself).

Try hong kong, i had a mate out there who absolutely loved it and earnt good money doing it

Seeing your location I now read your post like thus "Accountant mon... so if ya a need account or tax dem done I an I 'ere mon"

HAHA close ...thats Jamaican mate never call a bajan, jamaican, like calling Bernard Dunne British on here that is.

Bajan dialect is softer more gentle, they chop the ends of words off, Im starting to understand it after two years..


Wha....gaaan.....aaaan?

I'm Irish so it's the best I can do I'm afraid, I had to say it loud to myself as I typed so my colleague is looking at me like I'm some kind of RastafarIrish.

RASTAFARIRISH I LIKE THAT....

If his company has any legal problems, then they'll go to him. If he's a partner then he's already done very well for himself. If you don't mind, Loynesy, how long did it take you to become partner in your firm?

Patrick Bateman: Ask me a question.
Club Patron: So, what do you do?
Patrick Bateman: I'm into, uh, well, murders and executions, mostly.
Club Patron: Do you like it?
Patrick Bateman: Well, it depends. Why?
Club Patron: Well, most guys I know who are in Mergers and Acquisitions really don't like it.

Agree, I also thought Bale played him brilliantly in the filum, Bale has the right arrogance for it, like in Batman and Shaft, he was brilliant in those too.
