Thank you Tor,
It is a little bit soon to welcome me. I got my contract through and the 
start date has been put back from the week before Christmas week to the 
2nd or 3rd of January. At least the January sales will have started and 
I will be able to buy what I need at better prices.

It never ceases to amaze me how common some words are in European 
languages. I would have guessed the meaning of those, having worked on 
Dutch projects. But thank you for your foresight.

Thanks for the above, I can see it being handy.

I generally use babelfish to start off with. I do hope that I am given a 
PC/Laptop with a English QWERTY keyboard. The last time I used a 
Norwegian keyboard my typing speed dropped dramatically.
