Well I though I better give you guys an update,
after spending around a month or so out in Grenoble I've had to return home due to personal reasons

Its a real shame as I was enjoying being out there, and the work was really interesting. The French people were surprisingly very nice once they found out that I wasn't English - lol! Im kind of gutted to be back, but I guess it could be worse.
On the upside though, I've managed to secure another placement in Glasgow, so i'll be home from now on.
Cheers,
Agar
