  • Seriously though Sammy-did he say that?

    Are you in the building trade then Rictus?


    Yeh im away to go into the 4th and (thank god) last year of my apprenticeship. I left school 3 weeks before my 16th and told id never amount to anything etc..passed all my gcses but i didnt sit them at high levels, everyone around me knew i would be leaving school as soon as i could and even though noone said it im sure alot would have thought id never amount to anything. Now im set up in a career for life and some of the things i build/do at work i should never struggle for work, i should always manage to draw a wage. 4th year apprentice on £17.5k net so not too badly and as for the teachers i wont have there stresses i can have a laugh at work! Take it seriously but i know when to have a laugh.

    Anyone need any work done just let me know il give you a quote...wont be very MSE though, the best builders are not cheap :p
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    Yup...and also reminded him that his sis1 has just been made bankrupt over unpaid council tax, sis2 has just been served an eviction order and sis3 is struggling to keep her business afloat...his mum and dad are both in poor health so actually we are very lucky.....:mad:
