I'm not at all keen on the motto "Don't work an hour more than you have to". For many, this means they expect someone else will do their share of the work and this is the motto of a lazy, selfish b'stard! ___________________ have being the operative word - i think everyone should 'work' to some extent as long as the job has some meaning - even stacking shelves has a point to it ,except most 'work' in the UK is so utterly pointless . Most commutes are even more pointless . Most companies simply annoy folk - cold calls,sales,adverts ....yeah,most jobs are just awful . Take the betting industry,it creates misery . Me making a living at betting makes someone elses life a misery somewhere ,if i worked for Virgin Media or Aviva i'd be making someone elses life a misery - do you understand that ? most work actually serves no physical beneficial purpose . Our luxury in the UK for example is a misery tab picked up in the Far East ,it's all a zero sum game fella There are very few worthwhile jobs out there tbf - we import nearly everything |

I was for 10 years yes crags ... now am in a terrible job that I hate with a passion and I need out, and need out fast !! My capital for my betting is low otherwise I would just chuck the job and live off betting again but it's going to take time to build the capital up to make that possible, that's how I feel like just buying a one way ticket and disappearing

Thanks ... My plan is to get out of here in 2016, that gives me time to sort things out, my dad is going through tough time and that's holding me back a little ... also, I feel I am on the way to making some really decent money via betting and if I could abroad then there are the restrictions etc etc ... but, as for packing a bag and just going, I feel like doing it right now

I'm in Mexico at the moment Schalke.I love it here...people are really friendly and it's cheap although not as cheap as some other Latin American countries.
I have been to all the countries in Latin America. Mexico and Colombia are by far my favorite. Just go for it mate.Best of luck! |

when you get what you want in the struggle for self
and the world makes you king for a day just go to the mirror and look at yourself and see what that man has to say for it isn't your father or mother or wife whose judgement upon you must pass the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass some people may think your a straight shootin chum and call you a wonderful guy but the man in the glass says your only a bum if you can't look him straight in the eye you can fool the whole world down the pathways of life and get pats on the back as you pass but your final reward will be heartaches and tears if you have cheated the man in the glass he's the fellow to please, never mind the rest for he with you clear upto the end and you have passed your most dangerous, difficult test if the man in the glass is your friend. unknown author |

You can. Sold everything (except a rental property) near 3 years ago and wife and I came to New Zealand as a tourist. Never left. Spent most of past 3 years housesitting for rich folks, paying practically nothing in rent or bills and saved enough for a deposit for a our own place. Bought last month. Down side was moving home 12+ times in 2.5 years but.......
The world is out there, you have to go take it |

I'm sick of this country, sick of my pointless life, hate everything that is here. I feel I work just to make other people money. Ok I have a roof over my head and food on my table but that doesn't make us happy here ... Just pack a bag and leave, possible? Not possible?
Based on the opening post, no surprise that ISIS are recruiting from the UK. |
