Well here is the good news. Due to the economic situation I find myself in
(unemployed and going down for the second time) and having an urgent need to
pay the mortgage lest the bogey man comes and eats my house. I am taking a
job in sunnier climes. I have my visa, I sign my contract this week and will
fly out next week.

And the bad news............................ there isn't any I will happily
put a whole stash of dosh +25% travelling in the bank oh and not to forget
the and free accommodation/gym/pool etc These Americans really know how to
get a guys attention.

Anyway good bye for now, lots to do. I may be in touch when I find out the
situation where I am going.

It's been great fun

So ... aren't you going to share with us the information about what kind
of job it is (in the USA?) that you can get, with all these benefits? I
though it was hard to get employment in the States!

Best wishes anyway,

(thoroughly ****ed off with the UK, not for the first time in my little

****ed of is coming to the end of a 24K contract and only finding a 13K
replacement. Very happy is then getting a 30K contract. Very ****ed off is
getting to the end of that and reverting to 10K so now I am very very happy
to have my biggest contract price yet and it's in dollars, offshore and CSA
proof.

I'm kinda lucky I'm single so I can move around as I please. I have the best
tenants I could have looking after my house while I am away (daughter &
b/friend)

And it gets better My house is now worth 4 times what I paid for it 7 years
and due to the BoE intrest rate my Mortgage has now dropped to £112 pm so I
think the weeds are dead and the roses are blooming!

If I could only find a naturist club in Saudi........................Nah
that is expecting too much

Good Luck mate, BUT............. I was out there for three years in the
'80's. At the time, despite the pay being tax free and about thrice UK
rates, the average stay for a British Expatriate on a long term contract was
around three months! You're also going out at the hottest time of the year
(we used to reckon that it took two weeks to 50% acclimatise and many years
to be comfortable in it), get used to it by putting your head into your
kitchen oven after steaming a hot pudding?

Homesickness (and no booze, etc) can be a powerful thing to contend with -
indeed, my predecessor, upon hearing I was en route, immediately jumped on
a plane and returned home. He couldn't even wait to brief me for a proper
takeover (the house boy told me he had been pacing the roof at night,
counting the planes taking off from Jeddah airport before his next journey
home).

The other curious fact then was that a considerable number reckoned they had
made enough to go home, only to come back a few years later when the reality
of UK cost of living re-appeared.

Finally, think about your return-to-the-UK strategy before you go, and work
on it whilst there, because getting back into the UK job scene can be tough.

I'm sure others, like me, would appreciate a progress report, if only for
the vicarious experience.

Best wishes
