left school in 79/80......the Thatcher years begin and Liverpool had foc all as did I qualification wise.
drifted from shit job to shit job but wouldn't get on me bike to the South (coz Tebbit said we should) but was out everyday looking for work. had foc all money when me few mates did which was hard going, done whatever I could......both legit and cash in hand and at 35 managed to get into the fire brigade.....been in 15 years now which has been great bar all the political shit that goes with it. Probably could've done better years ago but I would never settle for 2nd best (failed the paras so told the army to shove it as the rest were all crap hats) or be told what to do by politicians.
You're never too old so go for whatever takes your fancy....YOLO
if I had my time over, and knowing what I know now through life experiences.... I'd have either tried for Civil engineering/joined another Army reg/left the country
I went to the University of Life
