Do I know anyone in High Wycombe ?
Whats it like - is Wycombe high ?
London tomorrow.
Edit: Job cancelled - lost four days rent but have quickly snapped up a one days rent worth in its place.
Got turned down for a job today. Ahhh, sadness. I've enough rent covered to get me through to the end of July. If anyone knows of any paid temp work please remember my name. I've got lots of cleriecal skills, chubbiness to work off, I can dance and research, and I'll do anything except McJob.

Are you prepared to travel for work?
(Which reminds me. I'm due to friend a few)
Not exactly prepared for travel in terms of finances but I can usually pull myself together to get short term stuff organised. I feel comfortable reading on trains and busses, and its always good to explore new territory...
(Well except for that one job were I was calling door-to-door selling insurance in a paramilitary0heavy area of Belfast)
I was just wondering about week long residentials for pay, etc. Yanno. I'll ask my brother, if I remember.
regrettablynot close enough for me to get down there and back in my lunch hour. Some of my students come from there. The ones that do seem to be the heavier drinkers. The new shopping centre is mildly futuristic, but not in a good way. It has an entry in crap towns but this is perhaps a little unfair as it is nicer than, say, Dunstable.The Wycombe museum has a famous collection of Windsor chairs, according to their website.
On the plus side, the caves used by the infamous Hellfire Club are nearby. On the minus side, they are probably a little too far for you to make it out, have a look round, and get back in a couple of hours.
Ha! Actually, in truth the place didn't seem so bad to me. My comment was fuelled by a sense of solidarity - I knew you were reluctant to think seriously of the place as a Uni target, so I thought it best to wade in behind you against she-who-must-be-obeyed.
You know, I often use this 'dump' exchange to highlight to people just how you sons of Ulster confuse your vowels: you use an 'o' where the rest of us use a 'u'. So there, ye cont!

Also, as John will attest to theres a lot to be said for Irish education. According to the Wikipedia entry for the Hellfire Club.
"Other clubs, especially in Ireland and Scotland were rumoured to take part in far more dubious activities. However, these activities were, according to Noblitt and Perskin, to cover the real reason for the club's existence - sexual activities. Many of the Hell Fire Clubs were allegedly created to provide male members with opportunities for "sexual debauchery" . Other rumours saw female "guests" (a euphemism for prostitutes) referred to as "Nuns."
So I'll not get laid on Monday. Grateful for the right amount of security and stability in my ritual as ever.
