No idea. I've worked for uk.gov before and been checked out by them,
but that was a few years ago. I suspect it'd take forever to sort out
clearances.

You know how to reach me if you want to discuss things further.

Cheers, but I think I've got it covered. Oracle Dubai finally got

Which reminds me, I've an email in my personal account on the matter

I'm cleared to secret (with occasional top secret), does that not count?

Not that I want a job working for you anyway, you might try to make me work
or something.

<shrug> To me, if I were in the position to be >< close to paying off my
house I wouldn't be 'jumping ship' as it were until I'd got that out the
way.

The possibilities then become much more, rather then "I must earn x to pay
y" - which is what I'm in at the moment.

I might be, it's not like I'll find anything overnight, and now I've
said my piece something may even happen.

I like Bedfont but don't go there too often.. There's something about
glass floors and the women in marketing that really works as a
combination, I can't quite put my finger on it. [1]

[1] Well actually I could, but they'd probably slap me and I'd be in all
