Buggar, never thought of that, i should have pushed them to go to uni and do media studies instead. oh well they will have to make do with an HNC in mechanical or electrical engineering.Originally posted by sasguru View PostFunny that.

on a serious note, Several of number 1 son's mate went to uni straight from school, he missed them when they went but many of them are back now with their 2.1 degrees, he see alot more of them now their serving behind the counter at Next, BHS, and enterprise renta car, i can see why he may be gutted he never wentLast edited by Support Monkey; 26 November 2012, 12:50.Comment

Hmm.... What would be a good trade to get for someone with a dodgy back?
I really like training people, did a lot of that at my old place.
Shame there is not a trade in general training.
Just been to the area the new job is at on my bike - I am feeling like boil in the bag now, took 15 minutes. Hope they have a shower for the benefit of my soon to be colleagues
