you can't keep a plumber down PB, If i was a footballer I would have finished work at 30, and they only work 45 minutes a week, |

I'm not too sure about that PB, the old saying " hard work never killed anyone" is wrong, Its killed many, stress is a killer, but like you say work is addictive, and there is no cure,
I went to my docs and told him I'm a workaholic, he says, ok I've give you a month on the sick,, I told him, you don't get it, I want more work not a rest, smiley-sad056 nay

My best and favourite customer is a retired city money man he had his own company in London, him and his wife are the nicest down to earth people you could meet, I also do work for their two daughters that are also lovely people I think what separates them from others with money is he comes from nothing and is self made millionaire, top bloke. |
