what did your mum do ?

[The Late, Great JC]

I have this idea the I will get a few chisels, a lathe and make me some cabinets and stuff.
I want to be ...... a cabinet maker. Walnut, cherry and oak.
What do you reckon

My *real* Dad was a carpenter, there wasn't much money in it!

Well I'm gonna raise a fuss
And I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just tryin' to earn a dollar

Well, I went to my boss
Who governs me
He said, "No, dice, bud
You gotta work late"

Sometime I wonder
What I'm gonnna do

There ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Plan B

Been there and now in permie hell. All I can say is while you have the candy coming in, for god's sake get a plan B sorted out. I am not talking about retraining into the latest hot language, that will be just as boring as your current one.
I mean something completely different, skills, a business opportunity, preferably anything that is earning while you are sleeping.
For 10 years contracting I thought I was running my own business (not), earning big money (only compared to mates) and forging a good career (lol). Market dropped and so did I with a bump, I am trying a different game plan but hate being at the mercy of a company, biding my time till someone dies and I may get their job (which I dont want)
Trust me, Plan B is what you should be devoting all your spare time and when the time is right money to.
Good Luck all.

Its boring, its pretty pointless but its a piece of piss, virtually stress free and it pays very well, getting a proper job with proper hastles and permie pay rates is a bad move. If you are are really fed up take a long holiday and then retrain in something a bit different !

Ah yes, that's right. It's the male nick that confuses me; big bald man, sucking lollypops.

cojack is a lady

Is that in the "Biblical" or "Little Britain" sense?

[The Late, Great JC]

Why, you're not a choirboy are you?

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

Now, that one always got me quite perplexed. If the local Bishop buggers a few choirboys , no problem. But, heaven forfend should he run off with one of the local female parishioners!

I might find things a bit sticky with the priest & parishioners

[The Late, Great JC]

but then neither does most of the senior clergy in the C of E so that shouldn't be a problem...

However I might find things a bit sticky with the priest & parishioners when I voice my opinions (they can be so parochial, so I would appreciate a bit of help with any theological references from the late Bishop of Durham.

Now, who's a naughty girl?

Would you like some private theological "assistance"?

[cojak]

I don't believe there's a God
