New Hope for 2008: Hope Bohs are still in the premier div
2007 has been a decent year
Spent half of 2006 and 8 months of 2007 on the road round the world. Great trip!Watching sport along the way and landing the greatest jobs ever when in Oz
Coming back and starting work has been a serious shock to the system though.
Plan for 2008; get a "proper job" or if not sack it and hit the road again.
Good times
UPDATED - HIGH
Just got offered the job I've been working for the last few days. I'm now back in employment. A great way to end a sh!t year!

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Congrats Pauro - I felt gutted for you reading the earlier post on the other page. Here's to 2008.Originally Posted by PAURO 7
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
Cheers mate! Thanks! Hopefully it'll all work out. I forgot to mention 2008's hopes for me:
- To actually hang on to new job and progress.
- To finally do a bit of travelling, even if its just weekend trips
- To completely enjoy the last six months of best ever house-share. Downhill from then on.
- To finally attempt some driving lessons
- To be footloose and fancy free for 2008 (said ex-girlfriend wanted us to move out of London, but we're back together and she's still moaning.
- To spend more time with the nephew now he's growing up
- To visit friends in Australia and US of A
not too much to ask for....
