In my office, oddly, its the Episcopalians with smudgy heads.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, it's all Episcopalians and Catholics here.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Fay, the problem is that I'm qualified as Montessori teacher, which is a relatively small corner of the world. There's a line in the ad about a flat being available, but I don't know many details.

Ah, I see. Hmm. If they provide accommodation, that will make a HUGE difference - accomodation is hellishly expensive in London, even greater London. And it is do-able to live on 16k even without accommodation provided - plenty of people do it. Just be aware that it will mean careful budgeting.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Debet, you may want to ignore the bit in my e-mail which sums up my impression of the Montessori method, since you clearly know far more than I do.
When you know more about what the accomodation situation might be, I'm quite willing to do some research on that front-- if it's fairly local, and to be practical I guess it should be, I may well know the place or at least the area. As Fay says, them providing a flat would improve matters for you a lot.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It would be to rent, but I do not know if it would be discounted, or what. I think I'm going to try to leave it be until I hear back from the school
Thanks, guys.

I haven't sat down to do the math yet, but London is definitely on my wishlist.
Now that I have a slightly clearer idea of what I'll be doing next vis a vis jobs, I reckon I should be back in the UK in July - may be in Thailand in August, possibly, and may be in Egypt in June, possibly. Hope that we might be able to muster a mini F2F in London - that would be fab.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Even if not, have you ever checked a map of the region? Thailand's pretty damn close to Australia. Yup, pretty damn close. How close, you ask? Well, it looks like I can get a return flight for under a grand, or alternatively I can use 36,000 Qantas frequent flyer points to halve that. Oh, look at that! I currently have over 36,000 frequent flyer points! What could I use them on?

move out and draw fire
I was going to advertise Thailand's proximity to Australia to help Fay make a decision, but it seemed presumptious. But yes! You guys could fight crime!
