    If you can't get a job, the market has no need for your "skills". Either get new ones if you want to maintain your lifestyle or get a manual job - there are plenty of those around.
    I've had to reskill about 3 times in my career - its hard but possible.

    And if things get really bad remember you live in a country where you won't starve.

    FFS No wonder the country is going to the dogs with wimps moaning on internet forums rather than going out and kicking arse.
    If I was in your position I wouldn't be posting here till I found something.

    Proper bollocking.

      Nurse! The voices are bothering him again.

      BTW Dim, I think Napoleon's run out of loo paper in your 8th bathroom. You probably need to send your butler Genghis to sort it out.

          You should have your own brilliant IT business like I do. I made £3 last week.

            Better widen the scope. Good thinking.
            I was in the running for a gig in Munich a couple of weeks, but settled on one in Cambridge.

            Hope you find something soon SY, but meanwhile I wouldn't try and sand that floor yourself - It's one of those things like plastering that there's a real knack to, and anyone else is almost certain to feck it up..

              Floor sanded and 2 coats of varnish. Light rub down in the morning, wash down, dry and top coat.

                    That's the approach. Now watch all those contract offers flood in. :

                      It always amazes me the number of feckless contractors who just wring all the money out of their companies every month and p1ss it all up the wall on Mac Books and gadgets and cars etc and then start moaning when they are out of contract for a bit and have nothing to fall back on.

                      Oh and stay away from banking. That's a private closed shop for some of us.
