Well, as i'm sure most of you already know, me, being the egotistical wanker that i am, thought i'd update you guys on what i've been doing recently. As i haven't had much time for the forum at present.

I just landed a sweet new job last month working in mayfair and spending time out in Montreal every now and then, a real good career move and a decent pay rise.

And last weekend i moved into a new flat (my bedroom is still, as yet, unchristened):

And also bought a new tv today to go in that ridiculous space between the speakers: (if anyones looking at purchasing a TrueHD tv, this is really worth a look (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/televisions/0,39030219,49289377,00.htm))

I'd like to dedicate this post to all the teachers who said i'd never make it - motherfuckers :grin:

nice jay (Y) congrats on the new job and new flat, it looks lovely, youve done really well for yourself

what do teachers know???!!

p.s. i hope you took the pictures at night otherwise youre new flat must be in a dungeon somewhere...... which is probably the only thing most people can afford in london :S rent is ridiculous (unless youre doing really well and bought a flat :O??)

I meant to comment when I saw those photos on Facebook - really nice flat, has a sort of Spanish feel to it doesn't it?

In my life ... well Darren's gonna be here in 22 days, I applied as a Committee Assistant in a different branch of the HoC, quite a significant pay rise if I get it so here's me crossing my fingers! Just been going through the language testing to see if my French is good enough and it is so all we have left is the interview!

Exactly, i'm sure the teachers would argue they just told me that to try and motivate me to do better, but bollocks to them and their narrow minded opinions on the need for a university education (H)

Haha, and yes, it was about 2 in the morning when i took the pics (i dont live in a dungeon, honest) place has got a huge outdoor patio garden which will be great for barbeques when the decent weather finally arrives :)

Yeah it does kind of feel like i'm living in a villa in spain or something at the moment, but i need to buy some rugs so it feels a bit warmer.... maybe some plants and all that crap - Really could do with a woman to help with the touches, but ce la vie!

Awesome about Darren coming for good! Thats crazy, i'm well happy for you both. Lets be honest, he aint gunna get much better than you is he? :)
I'll keep my fingers crossed for your new job too(a)
