    Yeah Adz, the whole country has an exam board called AQA :)

    Quite a lot of DFW'ers and MSE'ers in general work for AQA or Texperts.

    Torbruk, I don't drink as much as I used to when I go out, I don't really enjoy drinking out as I end up making a hideous fool of myself, I used to be regarded as the caberet at work do's :D but I'm a lot better (boring) these days :rotfl:
    It sounds like me when I used to go out! The thing was back then that I wasn't in a hurry to go home!!

    I was never in a hurry to go home either, but since I've stopped myself being the caberet I clock watch and think about all the things I should be doing indoors instead of sitting with bunch of people that I like but don't normally socialise with ie. the work crowd as we don't have much in common outside work. Although there are one or two people that I do enjoy sitting in a bar with having a drink, even if it is only a diet coke ;), don't wanna sound like a boring old fart :rotfl:

    Oh you'll be fine and nerves are quite normal when you don't know the ropes and the people. Give it a few weeks and you'll feel all settled!;) Is it very different to your last job?
