I've got an interview on Wednesday and it requires a photocopy of the front cover of my passport as well as the photo page.
Is the front cover just the first page? Why would anyone want a copy of that? The only thing it has on it is my passport number, but that's on the photo page as well.
I don't understand either, but do literally what they said, and take your passport along as back up. It's probably an outmoded tradition from old passport formats.

It's quite funny to think how few people would have been at all bothered if Mark Stewart was still here or not 12 months ago.
He really was the sole bright spot from the disaster of last season. Actually, possibly the emergence of Murdoch as well, though his worth is yet to be determined.
He smoothed out a lot of his headless chicken act over last season, and he's definitely fast... Don't think we can afford to keep him though, shame we can't compete on wages with League 2..

Not sure how it works with the compenstation if he moves down south. If someone knows could you please share!
If he moved to another scottisah team FFC would get compenstation for him, not sure if that applies if he moves to english team.
Pressley's just up on Falkirk TV explaining it, and we are due compo if we don't agree a fee. The cross border rule is that we have to have offered him a contract extension 60 days or more before it runs out. We offered one in October, so we're covered. The inside Scotland rule is 30 days.

You need a wad of cash behind you. You will be able to find work legally in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada (with the easily obtainable correct working holiday visas for the last 3) but if you intend to do a bit of work here, move on, do a bit of work there, move one, etc. you won't get much money. Basically you will have enough to cover food and board and whatever other shit you might want to do/see when you were there. In short time scales you aren't going to be saving enough money to buy another air far or a ticket for a really long rail journey. In the US there is a reasonable chance of getting low paid cash in hand work but this is even less reliable than the countries you can work in. These countries are expensive places to live and travel.
In the Sub Continent/SE Asia/South America you aren't really going to get work, for a start you aren't allowed to and of course any menial jobs you do get are going to pay you absolutely sod all, you'll be on the lower rung of a wage scale that offers the lower rung barely enough money to eat in many cases or enough money to live in a slum in other cases. There may well be opportunities to do something where you are staying and get free food and board but that would be that really. The only way I know of to make money as a travelling type in these places is to get a TEFL qualification and teach English, I didnt do that.
You really do need something to fall back on. Nobody who goes to the developed world to work and travel makes money doing this, they keep themselves in a bed, with food and up to their eyeballs in ale. Unless you have a trade behind you (which it doesnt cound like), sparks/plumbers/chefs (proper ones) can make a nice wedge in these places but it doesn't necessarily fit in with the travelling about idea.
You can teach English in most places without a TEFL qualification, especially if you're already out there. A degree helps. With or without TEFL though, the pay is usually shite , unless you're somewhere like Japan or the Middle East.

Is this in the same way that Kate and Gerry McCann's parenting skills are on a bit of a shoogly nail?
I hate to have to agree with pencil boy, but on parenting issues, he's on the ball...

Has Mark Millar left yet ?
No, he signed a two year contract, so I hope we keep him. I thought he showed his worth when BoB was benched...

It is being highlighted on www.scottishfootballmagazine.yolasite.com that the `big picture` story on front of the FALKIRK website is a year out of date... David Taylor is now in charge of Commerce at UEFA and Gianni Infantino is `Platini`s right hand man` general secretary. Somebody... maybe everybody .. at this club needs a kick up the ideas.
Maybe so, if a bit pedantic. But at least you can navigate around the Falkirk Website without getting a migraine, what a horrible mess that magazine site is

Deary me, folk claiming that one of the murals has been ripped in two
The death of the mural has been exaggerated, apparantly. Both in fine fettle..

I don't want an explanation, I'm just generally curious.
If travelling at the speed of light in a car with the headlights on, would they work?
Some physicists believe it possible to get a vehicle up to and even beyond the speed of light, but it would require converting the mass of an entire galaxy into energy, using the e=mc2 formula, which could, potentially, make the holocaust seem like accidentally treading on an ant.
However, no headlights because it's fucking cold out there, and the battery would be dead.

Should be fairly easy but cost will depend on your contract. I get half a gig free on my deal, I think 1/2 hour sound only podcasts are usually about 10-15 meg, so shouldn't be too expensive..I don't know if you can set it up so they download automatically though...
