Discount, no copout at all - thats my honest opinion i'm very different from you in that i like my job and absolutely detest talent shows. When you become ill and look around you won't be wishing you worked more hours, you'll be wishing you spent more time with the wife and kids. Once you get past fifty it's unlikely your going to make it as far as hitting the big time goes - it aint going to happen just relax and enjoy the autumn of your working life.  ;D

Part of the trouble is I have got those iconic buildings, maybe if i didnt have them i would still be lusting.

Trouble is when you have got them, they whack you out, they are hard work, you have to fit them in around your other stuff.

I have got my son working with me tommorrow to give us a break, trying to talk him out of joining the marines next month, might get him to get a mate and work the round.

Just spoke to Jonah on the phone, he is touched that people are concerned for him.

He isnt upset with anyone at all and found it quite amusing, when i explained this post to him.

He is away due to technical issues and cant get back on this site until his request for a new account is accepted.

He deleted his account thinking he could change his user name that way and got in a pickle.

He will be back as soon as soon as he can register again

Thats good news!! Thanks for letting us know Dave, I'm glad Jonah is ok, and look forward to his return to the forum!!  :)

Some people, nice people, people like Jeff maybe need a little bit more of the selfishness and compulsion that we have.

Clive, that is one thing I don't need? Why? I'm a happy go lucky type of guy, I'll help anyone who needs help and only if I'm able too.
 
When I was 20 years old, something happened in my life that changed the way I see and treat people today.
I now give respect to everyone I meet or talk to but on one condition I get respect back.

10 years ago I was given my business and for that I have always been grateful to old Stan and Stuart.
I've paid my mortgage off, I have money in the Bank and I don't owe any money to anyone.

The Boss has MS and I'm still healthy, so why shouldn't I give back something that was given to me all those years ago?
I now want to stay at home and look after the Boss and the way I run and expanded my business over those ten years, has enabled me to do this and helped me save for that rainy day, and it was all done without being selfish.

I was going to give my business away to a member of the Training Academy, until my eldest girl heard what I was about to do, Not thinking any of my 3 Trad trained girls would want to do wfp work, How wrong was I.

I am now training up my eldest girl to take over the business in September of this year, after September of this year, I will no longer have a w/c business but I will continue to help her if she needs it and for as long as she needs it, I would have done the same if it was the forum member.

I will also continue with my conservatory and guttering work as and when it comes in, if that goes tits up, then so be it.
I will still have my 3 daughters, my seven grandchildren and most of all the Boss, plus my own happiness and a few bob in the bank.
What more can a man ask for?

i dont think talking him out of any thing is a good ida if you manage to he will prob always think youmade him miss out on something. just advise him on good as well as bad points

well it says he was swallowed by a " great fish " , so it could have been a great white shark or a sperm whale !  What you have to remember is that it was god who miraculously kept him alive  ;D
