In fairness, if one was coming in from America and can handle a bit of shit weather, shit food and misery, it's probably a massive improvement in many respects.

We had a nice few days but yesterday and today have been wet as fuck.Originally Posted by Pepe
Is it really still raining? It is almost June.
Had one for a job in Italy last week.
Shit winters is one of the main reasons I am moving from my current place.
It's grey and 13C here.
Italy are currently donning the inflation table. No brainer.Is it really still raining? It is almost June.

It's not just raining, it is raining all week in the north to the point there are weather warnings about localised flash flooding and landslides going out.
It never stops raining, even when it comes out all hot and summery the rain is always lurking.
Last summer was basically fucking warm wet winter.
I could see the internal lol when the interviewer asked me for my salary expectations and I told him how much I earn here so something around that would be nice, thank you very much. If an offer ever comes, I am expecting it to be around 30% of my current wage.
What and where is the job?
Immigration officer.
He works in education in the States so I'm going to guess janitor?
Didn't he move to France? Or was planning too.
Engineering (mate) and in some place called Brackley.
That is the plan but while looking for that I have been throwing some cheeky applications all over the place and have a few interviews lined up. None in France though.
Was the Italian one in a place called Maranello?
The Midlands.
Near Banbury which is nice if you like an entire town that smells of coffee.
I wish. They didn't call back.
I don't drink coffee so I am sure I will love it.
They're Italians. Give them a couple of months.
My phone flashed up a weather warning due to the rain earlierIs it really still raining? It is almost June.

That's just given me a mental image of Lando Norris getting full on Speedy Gonzalez quotes down the team radio.
I think 90% of the UK is currently under a yellow weather warning for rain
The other 10% are on a red.
Been dry here all day. Even got some watery sun through during nets. Don't know what all the fuss is about.
Immigration, officer.
I'm also looking for a new job. My current one is ending on Friday (well technically next Friday, but I'm off for the last week).
Kind of want to use my paternity leave first and go back to work in January, but at the same time there are a few positions open that look interesting and I might have a shot at them.
Not an ideal situation to be looking for a new spot as government has been hit with big cuts and recruitment is basically at a standstill for now in my line of work.
How long is paternity leave in Finland?
I'm a twit
Baz would definitely bash out multiple kids if he knew it came with extra time off. That's how we end The Great Replacement.
He’s already booked his flights to Finland.
Not a chance in hell.

You can choose how you split your parental leave but basically it's 1(month for the pregnant parent) 5 months for the mother 5 for the father and 5 you can divide how you please. I think you can give a small portion of your five months to the other parent if you wish, but I'm not 100 percent sure what I was able to transfer to the wife.
5 months, bloody hell. Think it's 2 weeks here and bosses still cry about it.
It is 2 weeks, but similar to Finland, you can assign some of the Maternity leave to the father too. All the way to the mother only getting 2 weeks and the father having the rest.
I am yet to experience anyone actually taking advantage of this particular equal right, but that's another story.
You’d be mad to. Desperate to go back to work after those two weeks for some normality and some peace.

Yeah, it's the same here. Women tend to stay at home longer and paternity leave isn't fully used.
I think I still have about 4 months of my leave to use and I tend to stay home a bit longer.
I've used the three weeks you can use while both are on parental leave.
Having children sounds like such a hassle.
My friend is just back from 3 months full pay paternity leave and he was the opposite, would’ve happily traded being the stay at home parent part time with his wife.
My daughter was born in October, and using school holidays to my advantage, I was off until January. It was great.
Moved on to the next round. I feel like the DR Congo in an AFCON run.Got an interview for a job in the UK on Thursday. TTH Meet in September is ON.
Won’t feel like that when you get here. Don’t think you will be getting to use “our NHS” either.
Will go into anxiety leave as soon as I am allowed.
Do it before you're allowed and if they do anything just say they're being racist. Easy win.
Good news Pepe, it's stopped raining here for 12 hours, thunderstorms inbound though.
It's saying something when the weather is the least shit thing about Isle de Merde.
It'll be the same in the UK.
I think my equivalent in Houston is paid double if not triple my salary for the same job.
I'd be on double if I went stateside. Cost of living would eat right into it but I still wonder if I could come out of it with £1000's when I eventually move back.
The cost of living really isn't that bad unless you are in San Francisco or something.
Yeah, but you get 20 minutes paid annual leave and no sick pay. Here we get paid fuck all, but they keep paying us fuck all if we're in Spain / bed for a week.
Food is the same, cars are the same, gasoline is cheaper, rent about the same, depending where you live and ignoring the massive size difference. Healthcare is expensive but that would only make up like a fifth of the wage different at most.
Those poor bastards.The average American worker gets 11 days of paid vacation per year.
