Great Britain = England, Scotland and Wales
UK= United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Ireland on its own means the 26 southern counties, or Eire, which is a separate country.
Acer explained it perfectly I am in Dublin which is the capital of the republic,I just stick my self in under the UK because safety laws,equipment,insurance,fuel prices operational costs would all be very smiler, that and I think i am the only paddy here?? maybe i can start a tread (Irish talking about Irish stuff)but then that would be just me talking crap.:blob2:

Irish any body ???

so I see the Irish heritage starting ti emerge and all this time you have been calling your selfs British.!!!perhaps we should close the subject? I have a funny feeling that the yanks might hijack this thread and we'll have millions of great great granny story's
 
Isnt it said that theres more "irish" around the world than in Ireland? Bit like Man U fans, I s'pose :D

Are you kidding me??? Does it take that long for e-mails to cross the Atlantic? My advisor e-mails me back by 10am the next day if I send an e-mail at night. If I e-mail him during the day, chances are he'll get back to me within minutes!

My girlfriend is going to Durham, and she gets this crap for a response! I feel bad for her - she sent an e-mail to her advisor two weeks ago and still hasn't gotten a response. They keep promising to mail her hard copies of things, too...but she hasn't seen them in months. Is this to be expected? Is the phone a much better method?

It works out about £11 per hour but have chance of overtime, house prices to rent depends but my employer supplies mine @£60 per week for a 20`x10` sittingroom /kitchen & a 20`x10` bedroom,you can buy over here but cant live in the property for 13 years i think due to the stupid laws over here.

The work is both utility & domestic & its so laid back,no week in hand,not mot & no car tax or council tax.
Im paying 6% social & 13% tax which aint bad.
I would recomend it to anyone even if its just for the short term as the life style is so laid back.
