When I noticed that Tikay was reading my blog I was like OMG he's the guy I saw on the Telly!! I didn't know if it was a good or bad thing!!
I have no idea what "loot" means :S so with regards to the previous comment I didn't really suffer!!
I emphasise with anyone else out there who is jobless right now, as it's  hard!!

So it turns out there will be no Ibiza trip, as the flights are far too expensive etc. Mr Hopkino kindly informed me this morning that one of hos mates sisters is looking for a part timer to workin a tanning salon, seeing as I'm White as a sheep I jumped at the chance and hope I get to be able to assist and tanned at thesame time :-)
On the job front I've applied to several companies I.e Gala and TDX Group to work as their Internal Rectuiment Consultant though I don't feel at the moment any company is in a hurry to have a closing deadline date and start interviews.... So I'm just waiting and applying to other things.
Pretty gutted I didnt get to stage two of GroupOn, as the job did sound like fun!! :-(
Mr Hopkino and I go away to Paris next weekend and I've managed to persuade him that we should go Euro Disney, as I've been a couple of times before and its lots of good fun!! So if anyonehas any recommendations of places to go please let us know!!

shelley and I ate at buddah bar and it was by far the highlight of our trip to paris

"loot" as in "looting", currently fashionable amongst the working class I'm led to believe.

Good Luck with the job hunting, but I think you dodged a bullet by missing the Groupon gig. I hope you find something soon, though.

Paris - do try & visit the Louvre, to see the Mona Lisa, (awesomely small & disappointing, but has to be seen), Place de la Concorde (grandest roundabout on earth), climb the steps to the top of the Arc & survey Paris in all it's beauty, with arrow straight Avenues in all direction like the spokes of a wheel, all of them with beautifully manicured trees, visit Gare du Nord to see how the French run their railways, travel on the Metro (runs on rubber wheels, interestingly), & try to pop into the ACF (Aviation Club de France) which is on the Champs Elysses, barely a stones throw from the Arc, & arguably the most civilised CardRoom in Europe.  Oh, & you have to go see this bizarre piece of architecture, which forms part of Le Defence.

Tikay recommends a good walk! We were very tired after all that!

When you do the Louvre, and the remarkably small mona lisa (perfectly described Tikay), there is a tea shop in a nearby square called "the the" - really worthwhile a visit

There are a million Romainian beggers atthe eiffel tower - spoils the experience

Sacre Cour is nice and has great views, but its a bit of a trek and in a horrible part of town

Paris is closed on Sundays

Downlaod the free apps "le Metro" and "free and frugal in paris" - fills the odds 10 mins here and there

TAKE PLENTY MONEY - they have redefined charging - €30 for 3 drinks!

TAKE PLENTY MONEY

The Aviation Club now has a €100 entrance fee.

...but they do give you a free cooked brekkie @ 6am, which is rather splendid & most civilised.

Thank you so very much for all the insightful information!! ;-) I've informed Stu to have a wee look on my blog to get more of an idea.
Previously I said there wasn't going to be a trip to Ibiza..... Well this has changed my mate whose working out there has offered to put me up for a few nights and as he's a D J he's even mentioned the word FREE drinks! So I fly out Thursday & come back Sunday to obviously find out that my gorgeous Stu has won the Grand Prix of course!! I best get packing, as tomorrow is a day full of ladies chit chat - me, mum an sissy get together!!
Good luck to anyone who is participating in the Grand Prix and Stu baby you can do this!! :-) lol

Don't think I've ever seen him thus described, but from now on, he'll forever be known as Gorgeous Stu.

Do you have nicks for Cos, & Evil Pie, too? Do share......

[StuartHopkin]

Someone seems to have forgotten how drunk I will be if I make it till level 5.

[ACE2M]

Don't get a taxi at 3am to Montemartre, don't get robbed and threatened by gangsters in the back room of strip bar, don't get pickpocketed by strippers, don't talk to a group of male african immigrants about how you just get robbed because they will try to rob you to and definitly don't forget that you took that 30 min taxi ride at 3am, it takes hours to walk to the place de la concorde from montmartre.

Ahhh, memories.....
