Mr Moonbeam, Instead of trading all hrs, how about becoming a self employed driver?

If I had to get a job then some kind of a driving job would appeal to me most. I would not like a job where I had work colleagues. Driving seems the perfect uncomplicated job if you don't need any special qualifications. Sometimes I take unnecessary drives in the car and just put on radio five live to listen to.

I agree Paddletoe
When I was younger & worked in warehouses a driving job would've been a very cushy number to land I always wanted to do my HGV license , it cost around 1k many years ago not sure what it'd cost to do now , but now I'm a bit older I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much I was once offered to go to Germany to drive HGV's without a license as you used to be able to drive them on a normal license over there , but was younger & didn't want to spend weeks away sleeping in a cab Many driving jobs are hard long work in reality nowadays , plus it usually takes knowing somebody already in the trade to get you started (like taxi driving) |

Can you not claim anything back for running costs / parts or does it all come out of your earnings Schalke ?

Good luck with the snooker Schalke. Have you been able to put in the practice hours with all the driving?

Cheers Hank, No practive at all mate, I am not interested anymore in practicing, I can still play at a high level in the amateur game without playing ... I will play in tournaments, thats it. India will be fantastic experience though

From the little I know about you Schalke I think you have the ideal job as you would be unemployable or unhappy in most other lines of work. Your on relatively decent money to be able to take a few days off if you fancy watching a bit of sport and when your driving you have a job where you can day dream about getting your pga tour card!

He is right though Schalke , your job isn't badly paid at all despite the unexpected repairs , if it does your head in that much then maybe cut down your hours & use some time to try & trade on here weekends more seriously (although it's def not as easy as you make it out to be)
I'm going to cut back playing poker at the end of this year , it'll be a pay drop for me & am not sure what i'll do but it's driving me literally insane & have to draw the line somewhere now ![]() If the top few % were only making 15k per year in the heyday then maybe 10k year part time is being over optimistic Personally you seem unhappy about other things in your life too , but money doesn't necessarily change you or make you much happier , you're still the same person inside ![]() |
