Norway

I think he was implying you lied bawbag.

top fanny, but just like everything else over there, they are too expensive

One of my mates at uni went out to norway to work over the summer during uni. Tried not to spend much and came back totally flush, their wages reflect the higher cost of living. According to him you get a tenner an hour to clean the bogs.

still wouldnt wanna clean the bogs

I went to Oslo in February

Great place and it wasnt as expensive as I was expecting

some things are really expensive whereas other things are not that much more than expensive parts of Britain

Re: Norway

My Dad lived in Bekastua about 20 minutes outside oslo Nroway is a beautiful place full of amazing views cleaner than anywhere the only crime tends to be grafiti which depending on how you look at it may not be a crime . It is very expensive about £3.50 for a can of coke and average of 5 quid a beer ! but the women are all gorgeous there is not one ugly bird ! its great in the summer ! Youl have a quality time ! get your self out on the fjords on a vivking longboat trip free beer and seafood ... I loved the place !

3.50 a can of coke, fuck that, i cannot justify those proces

yeah he got me ,i lied

is it fuck £3.50 a can of coke


your dad is either lying or got completely fleeced


£2.50 for a 2litre bottle more like


you can go out to have a really nice meal for 2 people in Oslo for £40 no worries

take a couple of bottles of whisky from duty free with you.

Couple of lads I know that went over there when Newcastle played, said it was the thing to do, as whisky is so expensive over there you can exchange the bottles for a canny bit of stuff you want.

its £10 in duty free for a litre and about £35 here

sounds worth it then.

Those lads said they had a cracking time in Oslo, but the booze was a bit pricey.

erm he lived there for 3 years sunshine i know what im talking about .clearly we just drink in the upmarket places while you hang around in the poorer areas .

lying indeed .. how very dare you

my little bro's is on £100K basic to design pipes and shit

Am so glad I followed my vocational arts based career path

does your bro work in stavanger if so whereabouts, he may be in my office. thats the average salary here in the design offices. I earn that for placing all the instrumentation on the pipes and so on...

do you not have to pay rediculous tax on that?

its slightly higher than the uk
but i still bank nearly 5k month

we have it worked out so that if we work too many hours in a month that would take us into the next tax bracket our agent sort of banks those extra hours and puts them thru when we are on holiday so we get some holiday pay so to speak. In norway they work out the higher tax on a monthly basis, one month you may have to pay higher tax and the next you dont, not like the uk where its worked out over the full year. Enough of my rambling !!!!

All i can say is the place is excellent, the wages are excellent and its quite easy to get to, and the norwegions are so laid back its so unreal.

Re: Norway

Just had a word with one of my colleagues here and he lives near torp, its north of oslo and is classed as the riviera of norway so should be nice for you

Do you conduct business in english? if so i need a job like that, sign me up

everyone speaks almost perfect english and all our design documents/drawings are done in english. Its only in meetings where they start off in english but it always ends in norwegion so now i just tell them im too busy
