rikko 20 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) The time to stop being a student and finally enter the 'real' world is upon me now. Tomorrow I finally make the move from Innerleithen (6 miles from peebles) to plymouth 450 miles away. Start my first 'proper' tax paying job on monday. It's now safe to say i'm bricking it. Might have lived away from home for the past 4 years, but the thought of a job and being stuck in a place with a right funny accent 8 hours from home ain't filling me with joy. Sure it'll be better when it starts though. Edited October 3, 2006 by rikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14030 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Best of luck with it all mate. And if all else fails, feel free to hop on a London train of a televised matchday and come sup a pint with me and a pint of water with an errant Aussie.

Matt 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 i'm bricking it. Bricks are surely the only way? Forget your job worries, your biggest challenge is facing broad south-west accents and keeping a straight face. Every day is talk like a pirate day!

rikko 20 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Good luck mate. I hope you did GT and the downhill course at Inners Greatest Biking in the UK I've done one of the courses there and nearly died. Its for maniacs only.

Bombadil 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) All the best and good luck. BTW, how German does "Innerleithen" look? If I didn't know it was in Scotland, I'd figure it was a place name for a far-off village in Bavaria. Edited October 4, 2006 by Bombadil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34338 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Missed this thread. Good luck. You'll be fine once you get there, I'm sure. And if you don't like it, stick it out for a year and then look for something closer to home with something on your CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently thats in Scotland and not (as practically everyone would suspect) in the Rhineland. Krauts in tartan skirts tbh. Good luck by the way, mister.
