• On rereading, the video store moment doesn't read right - mainly cos I left most of it out, but also because you can't see the inflection on my line. So here it is reproduced more accurately:
  
  SC: How about this movie? (holds up "Mona Lisa Smile")
  RW: Well, hmm, "Love Actually" is back down the other end of the store.
  SC: It is? Okay, so which chick flick do we want to watch?
  RW: I'm voting for "Love Actually"
  SC: Ok, you go fetch it then.
  RW: [wanders off, gets DVD, wanders back, hands over DVD, bowing slightly] Your chick flick, madam

Who are you, and what have you done with Pheromone Boy?

Fava beans, chianti, that sort of thing.

Very chewy, he was.

You could've let me know: I've got some excellent chiantis over here.

Last time I visited you I lost a pub, dammit.

And I had some of the Worst Guinness Evar.

I'll keep it in mind :D

I found your lost pub again, so you can have it back.

And you were warned about the dangers of English Guinness... both by me and by the manner in which the bar staff were pouring it.

Actually, i've had worse Guinness than that, but you probably don't want to know any details. I certainly wish i could forget them.

Hey, it occurred to me that since you're contemplating the move thing, you could move to Dublin, let your house in Durham, and then you'd be a Scottish absentee landlord living in Ireland with property in England. You could consider it some sort of payback for Celtic Oppression^[tm]!

Heh, not a bad idea, if I could afford anything other than a cardboard box in Dublin.

In all seriousness, the current job-hunting targets boil down to "Anywhere with a vacancy that sounds interesting, and like I have a chance of landing it." There are geographical preferences (under which Ireland is on the list) but I don't feel like I'm in a position to be too choosy on that front.
