The monkey rings that bell, but the times it rings it don't seem to be associated with the clock.

The building used do be a church, so maybe this is payback from Satan?

I wouldn't mind living in the south since that's where most of my family is, but I don't even know if the country I'll end up in will be England, because I'm applying all over the UK.

Any luck on the job front so far? Anything we can help with?

Which part of southern England does your family originate from?

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unless you can get me a job, I'm afraid there's no other help I need right now, but thank you.

My family is mostly in Bristol these days, although they are spread out a bit in the region, some in London and even one across the border in Swansea.

Wish I could get you a job, but I’m being made redundant at the end of next month myself so I wouldn’t recommend the employer!

Is there nothing around the Bristol area? When I was last job hunting about 6 years ago it seemed very busy there as the up and coming IT city.

I'm sorry to hear it! I'm not in IT though, I'm afraid. I'm in media- audio and video production and post. Not too many jobs available in Bristol doing that at the moment, and the ones that there are, I've applied for.

Isn't there a load of video production jobs round Manchester-ish, or have they all gone now?

Regardless, there's normally quite a bit of video work available across the M62 corridor (I used to do a lot of freelance video work for many years, and still do occasionally), you shouldn't need to suffer the horrors of going "Down South".

If there are, I've applied for them. I go to every job site out there.

Bless you. You have my sympathies! I wish you luck!
