14?

 

And he’s going to pack In his job and work in a Canadian bar?

 

Some mistake surely?

Well right now he cleans the fag ends out of the local working men’s club urinals. I said to stick at it cos the bloke that does the women’s bogs has lung cancer and can’t live forever

I wanted to be a tree surgeon or gardener from the age of 10.

I paid my own way through college when in my 20's and again in my 30's

I wished I'd done many things differently but this line of work has been one of my better life choices.

I've tried retail, outdoor kit and cycling stuff but once you are salaried finding a second income is tough.

At least with this work, if I'm short of a coin all I need to do is do some more work.

I've busted a gut over many an underpriced conifer removal but there again, I regularly walk away with a rude amount of folding monies for doing a job I love.

Many a holiday paid this way.

I’m on the sofa with a cup of tea by 3.

I get to drive a 4wd with off-road tyres.

I am a picture of primitive magnificence when naked.

Chicks dig scars.

Not forgetting....

I am all of those  too..

Except most of those

I am home for half 3 though

He's supposed to be doing fuck all at 14 OMG. 

 

I was doing ZERO at 14. Barely school even. Then again for 2 years at 24 (civilisation 3 I think saw a lot of action at that time). Now I'm an 80 hour week but not for long. Sod this.
