It's liveable, but not good. After tax that's about £1500 a month. You can get a room in a houseshare in an OK bit of London (I think) for £500 or so. Then you'll need £80 or so for a travelcard. Actually, it's a fairly good salary for a public sector job.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Thanks for the info on Denton, John.
So hands up who thought the girl last night, was going to be a Sunnydale version of the Turkish and German girls?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
But how good/crappy is 19,000 Pounds for a salary? I know the cost of living in London is insane, is that doable?
I was on £20,000 when I was down in London 2 years ago. I lived in a house share. It's not going to be a luxurious existence, but it's doable, and I bet it'd be a cracking job. Plus, if it's actually at the National Theatre, that's a lovely bit of London. One of my favourites. On the other hand, it's Zone One, I think, so that's going to cost you a lot in travel expenses. Pros and cons.

Well, hello fellow unAmericans, especially you overseas unAmericans.
You see, it is all your fault. What, you ask? Okay, it's not your fault I went to Sugar Mountain. I had a craving, I bought candy. But it is your fault I am now the proud (?) owner of a package of Tim Tams. I haven't tried them yet, but I will bite the ends off and suck some coffee through them, as I have heard is the proper way to eat them.
But I just wanted you all to know. Your. Fault.

Warning to Aussies: in the unlikely event that any of you read WHO magazine (look, my flatmate buys it, OK?), do not under ANY circumstances read the article on Angel that accompanies this week's SMG/Buffy article. It's spoilery as fuck. I'm mad.
