Damned if you do, and damned if you don't as far as the work goes. I'd hae thought having an experienced man would hae made them glad! Even if ony fer a short time.

Come back tae the fold, min. I'm sure we can scratch up a decent R for you at a decent price...

Chin up Seany lad

I've been made redundant twice, had a company collapse under my feet once, resigned once ... and know what you must be going through

The first time "my world fell apart" I became so obsessively introspective that I very nearly forgot to move on.

You'll be right min

Day to day can be a lot more satisfying than year after year

I sold my Buell to a German guy. He flew over and handed me £6000 in cash. He then drove to Hull for the ferry. I didn't believe it would work out until i saw the cash. Good luck with the job hunt, I'm sure something will turn up.

I told you that you bell end. I've always been self employed just like you and you know what its like. Its always **** or bust, loads of work and dough or **** all. Its definately the worst I can remember since about the early to mid 80's. The worst bit is just stewing in yer juices bored shitless because you've done all the crappy little jobs, done all the foreigners you didn't want to do and now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just ****** boredom. And theirs always some useless piece of **** always working who can't do **** all except brown nose.
Hang in mate.
