    Have actually been considering that. did a business pitch to someone who runs LRP events in the uk a few years back but I didn't have the dosh then.

    Am starting to consider other plan b options atm or fun options such as

    90 hour weeks with 1 day off and peanuts for pay at my age and with my mortgage. Not again, I could barely pay the rent.

    Plan b is to run a deli and cafe, I'm scoping for sites and business partners, but with the current climate not a good move. So it's on ice atm.

    I do the odd bit of consultancy for a friend who runs a deli.

    I might just cancel it and see if the two contract gigs I'm waiting on interviews for will pan out.
