Good luck, sure it'l be a breeze, was hoping to catch up with you before you go (just got back the other day) but i guess you'll have loads of crap to sort out, and i'm sure you'll have plenty time when you get back.

Good luck man, Know what you mean about Dundee, live just up the road and used to deliver for a certain blue and red supermarket chain to mostly the bad areas of Dundee. Lochee oddly being the worst area for grief...

Sounds like it will be an interesting move

I'd love that...sounds like it'll be an adventure. You don't get anywhere in life unless you step out your comfort zone, and you've probs done that a good few times anyway to get where you are. Good luck mate.

All the best Chopper

Sounds like something you're going to have to embrace fully, a proper adventure.

As above, get some pics up and tell us what it's like. I've got a mate in the Foreign Office posted in Sudan, some of the stories he tells me are

So, enjoy
