Mr Swift et al...

I've probably asked before but....I'm looking at moving back to Newcastle and seem to remember you being in a similar industry to me. I'm a creative artworker - mainly using Quark, Illustrator & Photoshop and thought you may know what job prospects are like in the NE - any temp agencies in the town specific for media etc? ANY comments/diatribes etc would be gratefully received.....

Cheers Bobby - much appreciated - will check it out...

Sting - How you going? Still enjoying Oz? Daft question....! Yep - Lahndahn's lost its shine for me. Too big, too expensive and full of cockney w*****s [can't see how i missed that one before...]

Nick - Bound to be back up there at the end of Sep even if job front doesn't work out. Why? You back for a few beers? Thought you'd be heading strat to the SOS to meet for a pint with yer mackem kinsfolk....;))

min, will you be in the Toon April / May 2020?

At the speed with which Mrs gus is looking at new houses / land that is the earliest I'll be back!!

Unless someone rich wants to adopt me.

Can't you organise to work from home and submit stuff via email etc?

April / May 2020. I guess that's your vision, eh Gis?

That joke was blindingly obvious, Screach. Focus on the issue at hand :-)

More like a mission statement Screach.

Unless you know anyone who wants to buy 3 IBM Thinkpads?

We live in a nice semi detached bungalow, a duplex we call them here. It is about the same size as Buds garage/tool shed in his Sydney mansion. We are about 15 minutes from Perth and the same from Fremantle. It is a little small I must admit, however anyone who walks into the bank, asks the finance manager what is the maximum that we can borrow and comes home and says this is what we are spending, should be shot, well not married to me anyway!

I just hope it has nothing to do with my recent return from Sydney when I told her the Mr and Mrs TM and sting were heading west and I said they could stay if we had the room (which we do not at the moment)

Thanks for making contact Bobby. I'm sorry for making a spectacle of myself again. If only there was a set of Opta stats for puns it would give you a lot more scope.

A nicely framed response, Screach. Opta pun stats would be fine sight on the BBS, but I fear you would put me in the shades>.
