Calgary's where I am. It's one of the places where there are still a lot of jobs going (despite the recession). They seem to always be in need of teachers here - I know a few that have just moved from Eastern Canada to get work here.

 

There's something not right about a post from the sex that doesn't include a picture of some bint with a finger in her arse.

Noos You can fuck right off.. I havent even read the rest of the posts except for your opening one..

 

If you think you can just fuck off now and leave me holding the Mother - you are sadly mistaken.. I will grass you up faster than you can crack one out you selfish bastard...the guilt trip alone will be enough to keep you here and thats before we even cross the nagging about seeing the grand kids bridge!!!

 

You are free to bugger off providing that you make provision in your hand luggage for y'mum.

But you could come and visit. Canada has some interesting and huge erections such as the Calgary Tower and the CN Tower.

what website did you get on noos to check your points.

 

I think this is the questionnaire, Bri:

 

To be accepted in Canada's Skilled Worker programme, you need to:

 

* Have at least one year of full-time, paid, work experience within the last 10 years. Most skilled occupations meet the requirements for this.

* Prove you have sufficient funds to maintain your family for six months after arriving in Canada.

*

o For example, if there are two of you, the Canadian government says you will need $12,659.

o If there are four of you, you will need $18,895.

o A family of six will need $24,170.

o You do not have to prove you have these funds if you have arranged employment in Canada.

* Pass the points test. You pass the points test if you receive 67 or more points.

 

Points are awarded as follows:

* 21 - 49 = 10 points

* Subtract 2 points for each year over 49 or under 21.

Wow it look's truly astounding. I will go there one day for a wile. I speak to many people from Canada and they say it's a great place and it's always easy to find work. I think I would try a holliday before actually moving there though. But saying that I am moving to china without checking it out first ha ha.

Neko mate I see you mentioned Baker, I go to WWU... If we make any important finals we may have to meet in Vancouver...

 

I invited Neko out for a match once but the lazy S.O.B. wanted to sit in his lounger, at home, and not bevvy it up with the lads at the pub for a match.

 

Maybe he just hates gingers. I mean can you really blame him?

 

i have become somewhat of a hermit to many of my friends since we moved out of vancouver.

 

the fact is that i usually have the wife make me a nice breakfast while i am watching the match. it is very comfortable and warm, i must admit. drinking massive quantities of lager in the morning in a pub doesn't have the same appeal, sorry. i will try harder for the next big final.

 

i used to be a ginger in my youth. my hair went grey in my 20's, and then rapidly disappeared in my 30's. you would never know....

we have some pretty strict rules about spelling and grammar here, simon - not sure you'd fit in.

 

maybe try quebec - they speak a bastardized version of french there.
