Let me rant a wee bit smiley.... What’s the obsession with the British and babies pls? Abi is it only in Scotland?... Il be hurrying somewhere and women old and young will want to stop and tell you how beautiful your baby is and engage her in talk huh...and home training won’t allow me rush off especially with older women. Every single time we go out! Mtschew.

Americans have an Obsession when your pregnant, the British, it’s when you haff horn. Ayam tayad! embarassed

Hello E-Fam,

Good evening to you all. I have been a silent reader and observer on this thread for quite a while. I must confess that this thread has been of tremendous help to me.

Please I need help on genuine job agencies for healthcare professionals as I have applied for some roles within the NHS and got a few rejection mails. Perhaps, I am not getting it right somewhere...not sure though.

To my seniors in the house, are there some rules I need to follow as regards getting job invites? Do I need to get registered with agencies that are specifically for healthcare professionals?

Thanks

My latest savings escapade......

I eventually settled for this Legend, but the navigation screen was fuzzy/faulty.....

Seller agreed to fix, but would increase selling cost by £1000 (this was for repair, not replacement)........

I contemplated replacing with android auto, for more enhanced functionality, but i might lose some functionalities, like voice activation etc etc...... ..

I tried to source in the UK, could not find OEM anywhere. My only choice was buying from Honda directly (£1499.00) before VAT.......

A breakers yard in the UK i contacted, only just replied me, he has now listed it on ebay for £178 + & 25 PP..... Thanks but no thanks............

I went yankee surfing, got it at an American breakers yard....

Total cost....... $37.00

My pal is in the states, so he brings it back FOC........

Ijebu boy no dey carry last.......

So yesterday, I finally passed my practical manual driving test, on my 3rd attempt. grin

AFter the first 2 failures, I waited until winter was over and the days got longer, and I went with a different driving instructor. I bought 10 hour with this new guy, and he taught me how to handle roundabouts properly.

Before the test, I was quite tense. Within 5 minutes, I thought I had already made a serious error at the very first roundabout I encountered. I was just pissed off during the rest of the test, and was squeezing face 'cos I was sure I had failed again. It was a pleasant surprise to learn that I had passed.


Time to start shopping for car insurance and car purchase deals.

Sir,please I want to get a clarification from you as I guess you have bn in Uk for sometime.
Let's say after MSC,someone managed to get a 2 yrs tier-2 sponsorship by a company(consulting/bank) and then the person after working for 10 months got a job with Google in San Francisco,USA.....

1)Can the person resign from his uk job after working just 10 months instead of 2 yrs.

2..Will the company allow him to resign

3).Will this have affect on his chances of entering u.k in the future



Thank you sir .

1. Yes
2. Yes (If you signed a bond to refund visa fees then you may have to repay - if they ask you to)
3. No

On the contrary, your answer to question 3 is a combo of both......

If attempting to enter the UK again is on a sponsorship visa, you would have to declare circumstances of previous application.......

Depending on how good you know your onions, another company might think you might Maradona them........

So it simply means, you know more about this case than i do...

My response was solely based on his initial question......

And yes your reply was succinct........

Depends on his consultant used. When I did mine, it came to about £2000 including the fees charged by the immigration consultants used by my company. There's also NHS surcharge. Some companies do not ask you to sign a bond but mine did. That should not stop you from leaving. He should ensure that his US visa is secured first before moving.
