Well i have a job! two actually...went for an interview at bath with the council there (bath and NE somerset council) and they offered that role to me at 15.50/hr. not too shabby at all. and then monday went up to beverley and nailed the coastal job after a 10 minute powerpoint presentation on their plan! so totally stoked. the job up in yorkshire is ideal - implementing a ICZM (integrated coastal zone management) plan by designing a second generation shoreline management plan (make sense?) with the folks around there. great fun. apparently it snows down at sea level up there too...so anyone for a beach holiday? there are also at least 3 nuclear power stations in my county, each with 8 huge chimneys (i think - at least they all look like Springfield). kind of weird. dont want to stay there too long then aye, might get sterile! To Bath or not to Bath? that was the question, the answer is that that job is development control work and can go to hell. i told them i would do it for 20...
Tuesday 22 August. Got no sleep at the Hostal in Lagos as we had turned it into party hostel for the night. Then got up at 4.30am to hitch a ride with two Israeli girls down to Gibraltar to investigate ferries to Maroc. Only fery sailing is on Friday from Gibraltar so muct go into spain again. This place is just like Little Britain - streetsigns are the same, there's a Morrisons. Ceapest booze ever, cheap smokes and perfume, tax haven for gamblers (where the two girls work in customer service). Check out some of the photos from the flickr site by clicking on the little badge to the right. Not sure how expebnsive it is here, but hopefully I can change money on the cheap! Need a shave. Thinking I should start a company in Gibraltar to get tax benefits. Wikipedia - Gib
