Hi Davy. Cheers for getting back to me m8. Aye I'm back in Newarthill, about 8yrs now, as was in England for years with my ex-wife (the ex-RSM's daughter, she worked in the NAAFI in Weeton), bought a house in Brannock Ave, the street next to were I grew up, better the devil you know sometimes! lol I was out for a drink with Dunky Lowe and Wilkie last Oct and Dunky was telling me about his job out in Baghdad, so I got myself on a course (NSTC in Liverpool), have sent Dunky a CV, he works for GARDA. I still keep in touch with Jimmy Cutler also and he's bee give me advise too. After talking to Dunky thought this is a good career move, seems there a few ex-Borderers in the industry. When your back and have a free night would be great to get a beer and a chat m8, although with only 4 weeks off am sure you'll be busy with your family, but if you fancy it give me a shout bud. cmccairn@hotmail.com
