Switzerland is great, gotta love what those Knights Templar did with the place.
Doesn't it have a mandatory, month-a-year maritime military conscription system though, ROK style? I doubt a foreign worker would be obligated to participate, but still a spooky thought (Though my cousin who's in the German military says all they do in Switz. is dress up and play army in the hills every year since they never take aggression or receive it )
you must be good if they want you to come back.so go swiss and then you'll get something to temt you back. you'll get a job easy if come back,its not 1979 hun to me your christine the strawberry girl.good luck whatever
You should go, Sam. The experience would be cool. I've been reading there's a few distilleries in Switzerland about to begin producing Absinthe from the original recipe. *hint* I promise to send you some recently acquired Finn Brothers bootlegs from their Aussie gigs. You can always fall back and return to your current job if needed. :)

Steve, you star! :D
fookin ell Sam, just found myself in potentially similar situation.
I just started a permanent job a month ago after 6 years of contract work, but just got a call from a recruitment agency in Zurich asking if I was interested in applying for a 6 month contract out there.
My head is fooked.

What - the Absinthe or the Finn brothers bootlegs? (Or both?) If it's the Finn brothers, I'll let you know what they are (when I get them!)
Remember I have friends in the passport service Chapman, you were going nowhere until we had adequate assurance of your connectivivty :D

the finn bros. i'm quite intersted by the absinthe myself mind...
Sam, When you going? I lived and worked in New York for 4 months back in 1997. It's hard to make any decisions before you leave as so much can happen and change. Go, enjoy yourself and you'll know when the time is right.
You'll always be part of Barney's Angels, wherever you may be! Glad you'll still be connected via the net. Just means you'll have to dig deep to fly back for all the NO gigs.
I'm sure young Steve said somewhere he never had a Passport- funny that, considering he has all these connections in the passport office
madam, such connections as I have would of course partake in no fraudulent action on my behalf :) Actually, technically I still work for their info line myself, but aint beein there in oooooo oh dear 18months nearly...how fuckin bored am I with doing sod all...very :)

What would you like to do? That's career wise, Steve

right now i'd settle for being back skivving in the call centre. Career wise, I sometimes feel I've had most of that already. Lived the rock and roll dream and was good at most of it except the schmoozing and industry crap, I really can't abide normal folks getting involved in bringing musicians down :) Then made lots of e heads happy on a strictly amusement and studio funding basis for a while. What's left to do? I'm still waiting on Frank Williams ringing me about that 2nd seat.
Seriously though I'd love a nice job behind a desk. a 72 channel SSL desk, but still a desk.
and you're dream options, assuming carryin inflatable guitars isn't a vocation for you (and notwistanding little'uns)

I'd like to be a footballers wife. I'd be so good at it. Champagne, platinum cards, shopping, flying all of my mates on NOOL around the world VIP, to all the gigs NO perform. Get my nails done, plastic surgery, face transplant is the thing these days??? Could i be that vain??? seeing as i love my footy, getting to see footy for free would be the best result. Having the money would be nice also.
Seriously, i'd like my own business. I have a few ideas and reckon eventually it will happen. I have a good business head-fuck knows where that came from? I'm just about to buy some DJ decks again, after 10 years absence from DJing. Can't remember much so will practice for a year and see what happens. My aim is to have one massive 30th birthday party and be able to DJ for it. In part anyway.
You seem no clearer on your career choice. Do you really want to sit behind a desk?

SIGN THIS WOMAN UP FOR NOOL DAY!!!!!!!! She and Monty can have a DJ spin off (or whatever DJ's do) 
(Yes, I was shouting. Sorry!)
This is far more interesting than whether I become a tax exile in Switzerland or not...
Hope yer back clears up ,Samantha.You believe in Chiropractors?.I've gone to em a few times.But the last time i came to the conclusiom a good old laugh sorted the prob out.Probably was just tension or something tightening the old spine up.After i had shelled out a few bob ,too.No wonder they are all driving about in expensive motors.Cunts.
Talking shit on here is a better way to cure the problem.Better if you've got a laptop though.Just lie on the bed.Sitting at the desk isn't a good idea.
Like yer new avatar.You got the 'Notebook' thing?.HMV reckon they posted mine on Monday so i'm hoping to see it this week.Bar Xmas post.

Chiropractors? Seriously thinking about it actually...
Yeah, posting crap on here has taken my mind off it (and I've got a Powerbook, so I am lying on my bed)
I haven't got the Kraftwerk Notebook (I'm hoping Santa might turn up with it!). I hope it eventually turns up for you because it has had so many delays, hasn't it?
Been listening to a load of Kraftwerk lately, hence the avatar. Respect
