Not me,I'm going to live what's left of my life and enjoy it chaps....not felt this good in years....no amount of drugs has ever made me buzz like this I must admit I used to chase the pound note on the railway but it did pay well, but it also enabled me to retire at 60 If I had to do it all again I’d probably train to be a self employed Master chimney sweep I’m surprised at the demand for it in this day and age in the area I live, but what ever you decide you will do well mate your a knowledgeable grafter I sometimes look at your work and Stavs and think I wished they lived around here lol, if you and Stav started a business together you would be unstoppable. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Preaching to the choir here mate I’d much rather start early an finish later on the few days I do graft than work more days or give up me weekends, sometimes it pays to work weekends but fcuk that for a full time job 2 minutes ago, Daniel cain said: I plan to sit and pass my level 2 pest control,I payed for the coursework more than 10 yrs ago,but life and a young family sent me in a different direction mate....the Mrs has plenty she wants done around the house lol...so between that , there will be plenty of family/chill time,got a few commitments that I can do in my own time,no rush or stress....I would like to run a fishery few days a week or maybe do some guiding etc ,but on a wage,don't need big money or want the worry of overheads...if the price is right,then I could be tempted to jump back on the tools.....cash in the hand only...The Tax mans had more than enough from me Your a bigger man than me haha I done all hard work, passed the course an got al gear an ended up hating it, so sold all gear an got more rabbit an rat traps an stuff wm now refuse to touch any chemicals or go on folks houses or kick rat boxes unless it’s worth my while, but fcuk going full pesty full time mate, opening folks drawers am finding dildo’s an blow up dollls haha an then going into some absolute shit tips an them expecting miracles, sack that I’ll stick to the agri side of it haha best a luck tho haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve said it before mate your just in the wrong job on the railway, the amount of people that leave and regret it and want to come back was unreal, mainly the ones who had never experienced working outside the railway they soon get a reality check and do anything to get back, good luck anyway your still reasonably young so it might work out for you.

Yeah, heard about that mate, but as you know, jobs like that are like rocking horse shit and even in Network Rail it's a case of who you know. As you know I applied for a few MOM's & LOM's jobs but folk knew who'd secured them before it was even announced. Edited May 19 by Pardus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Qbgrey 4,370 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Any job you do long enough I reckon will become fuking boring. It’s the robot, type repetitive jobs that sort of become addictive ( bricklaying) I’d love to stop but I know I would miss it but I think I’m almost burnt the f ….k out. Need to make some changes like dc.if I get a good ££££ offer on my gaff I may go part time doing what I don’t know. Being a internet/ computer divvy don’t help but thiers no way I could sit in front of a screen allday I’d be in a nut farm in a week.sell a few motors I’ve stored up , reduce the bills. Happy days hope it goes well d.c keep us posted 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
