Retail. Working on owning my own bookshop, but not for a year or two. I'm part way through immigration, so haven't been allowed (able, willing) to work for almost a year, so I've been living on the money made from selling my flat in England for a ridiculous (100%) profit. Zhann - Too right!

Congrats on the job mate. Shame you didn't live here in Australia you could have been working for 7 months by now :) Plus if you sold the books my girlfriend loves then you would have had all my money when you open the bookstore :)
I have opinions of my own -- strong
opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
Oh, lets not jump the gun yet. It's just an interview. I'll let you know tomorrow how it went. ICM - Same field. Well, I only have 4 months retail experience, but yeah, the same as those 4 months. Gonna be a nightmare being more than 20 feet away from my computer for 8 hours a day!!! I'm getting the shakes already.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

It's an American woman and most seem to love the English accent. Plus I can be charming when needbe. So maybe I'll do my best Hugh Grant impression. "Er, well, er, yes, er I suppose, er well, I see, right, er ok then..." Or is Colin Farrel the man of the moment, or Jude Law, or Ricky Gervais, OK, maybe not him. I don't live for work. I work for cookies. As for remembering. Yeah, no worries. Like riding a bike. 2 hrs 45minutes....

No, it would not be an adult bookshop. :-p Although I see it being a quiet cozy (cosy?, been here too long) place where people can browse through books, sit and have a decent cup of tea and a scone, without kids running around. I had to re-read the tip. My wife is a Blair, and I wondered how you knew! As for "One would", I talk that that anyway, but one does doesn't one?

Best of luck Phil. All I'll say about Jude Law is that his sister was far nicer and better at acting :) I've always thought the accent to go for abroad is the West Highlands/ inner Hebrides (Think Sean Connery) my uncle is from Skye he's 70 and seems to have girls falling over just to hear him talk....
