well never was there more true words said howsmyflying. I wonder if my future is mango? maybe lylac who knows. Maybe it might be green and ill get two pairs of shoes with my uniform and a belt aswell such perks! The dublin base is in demand with usually 5-10 on a waiting list next galway usually 2-4 followed by cork 2-4 then waterford 1-2 and then the least liked base seems to be isle of man. most fo's get put ob isle of man first as flat liner said and when the next set of fo's come through usually 6-8 weeks you will get moved on. but then again you might not get sent to the rock but thats usually only through divine intervention isnt that right 1800-howsmyflying!
