Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Yep. The mortgage is much cheaper than the rent would be. Though it probably wouldn't be now that house prices have gone up so much. I ♥ my flat.

I haven't been able to find any info on what the minimum wage is over there though. I would think it would be higher than ours which is like 3 pounds/hr (7.45cdn)
I did that in America. It was lots of fun. I sold fudge for 9-10 weeks and then went travelling around for 3 weeks.
The minimum wage here depends on how old you are:
If you're 22+ it's £4.85 now and will rise to £5.05 in October.
If you're 18-21 it's £4.10 now and will rise to £4.25 in October.
If you're 16-17 it looks like it's £3.00.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I'm slowly but surely trying to convince my girlfriend that it would be a good idea to go there for a year after we graduate. She loves England, but I think it seems a bit daunting and unrealistic for her, but we'll see what happens.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

lmao, I just saw this clip on TV for The Beatle's "A Hard Day's Night" movie...
Inverviewer: So, how do you find America?
John Lennon: Turn left at Greenland. *flash witty smile*

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.
