Nigel faces a tough choice now…...

...."I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here" or "Celebrity Big Brother" 

G, with you on Ed Balls, absolutely clueless bell end. If I could punch one of them though it would be George Osbourne, he is the living epitome of privileged Tory prat.

(I have no political affiliation btw, I spread my contempt evenly)

So I have been offered a job. Seems a really nice place to work, would be working with a mate, would be a versatile role, chance to add some more stings to my bow as they say.
Only problem is it's a fair wage cut and on a 6 month contract to start. I knew I was being overpaid in my last place so was expecting to have to drop money wherever I go. As the baby is 2 weeks away I am swaying towards taking it so I know I got money coming in. Just seems a little bitter sweet.
As always thoughts please people

Happiness and job satisfaction are better than money any day.

if there is nothing else in the pipe, I would go for it and continue checking my options…

I think that's what I will end up doing. If a baby wasn't on the way I would probably chill for a bit and see what came along.

Great to hear.
Your baby will keep you away from chilling anyway.

I got an email today from a retailer informing me that it's "National Denim Day!"  Naturally, I googled it out of curiosity.  Not only is it not today, the international version of Denim Day is sad and depressing and the US version of Denim Day is only slightly less so.

A few artworks from a local graffiti sprayer - he is also one of my tattooers.

Poison Heart? What was his name? Rode?

[Finkster]

Correct    @JCMx800  - it's from Rode / Poison Heart Tattoo

His Graffitistuff is cool  ( the Tattoos also ^^ )  …... but his Paintings & Woodworks (different layerings of painted woodpanels with gold leaf, etc. ..) are mindblowing!

I never new there were so many small time high-end bookmakers in Texas.
This is really interesting/informitive: http://www.texasmonthly.com/story/25-top-custom-bootmakers

@Chris:

It's from 2002 and much of the information is out of date.  Tex Coleman is semi-retired and has moved to Abilene, Maida's has closed, J.L. Mercer died and the shop closed, Rusty Franklin retired and sold his shop to Robert Brest (who makes great quality boots, by the way), M.L. Leddy only has their factory in San Angelo and runs all their sales out of the Ft. Worth store, and there are probably more changes that I don't know about right off the top of my head.
