It’s from a Monty Python sketch about how hard our parents had it.
I think I am very fortunate I work a shift, well at present anyway, that gives me an enviable amount of time at home. The down side is that the pay ain't brilliant, very difficult to have both, but it’s the way I like it. At present I’m at home doing a lot of baby sitting and have been for the last couple of years which can make winter a drag sometimes when you’re stuck in the house day after day, tiered because of the shifts looking after 2 board kids under the age of 4. But I still wouldn’t trade it for more money, as a bloke I feel I’m quite close to my kids and I hope that will work out to my advantage when they are older, and we do have a laugh!
Previous to this I had all the time in the world to do the things that I wanted to do, with in the realms of what I could afford, rebuild a couple of old British bikes and went to all the places I liked going to at times when everyone else was at work, great! Restored a Victorian terraced house then moved to my present house and completed that. I love my time off and it’s worth five grand a year to me.
Unfortunately nothing lasts for ever and the shift Patten I work is about to change, my wife also works shifts and I haven’t even thought about how we are going to balance our lives, then I will have reasonable pay with crap hours so I might have something to moan about.
Anyway we need wealthy people to buy those expensive trick bit for there bikes and then sell them cheap to me when they’ve finished with them on ebay!
I like bling if I was considerably richer than yow I would have lots of it, I would also pay to have some one service my bike just to stop my Missis moaning about how much time I spend playing with it, I wouldn’t need my pass stamped then every time I try and go for a blast!
