I'd be seriously impressed if that was the case

Shall we ask Mr Hop ?

A site just outside of Scarborough has been approved for fracking.

I've been sorting the contacts on my phone, removing some old ones and adding a new one. Apparently, I don't know anyone whose name begins with Q, X or Y.

But who's to say that would have panned out?The fact is, we are all here in the roles we were born to play. I studied to become a political journalist, completed degrees, then the bottom fell out of the newspaper industry in the 80's, and the way was open for me to have a career in retail, but I got into management and ran part of a large organization although I have absolutely no schooling in business. When the bottom fell out of the photographic industry, I became a security guard and later a shuttle bus driver as a promotion. Wonderful work, I enjoy it. I don't hate my job, in fact, it suits me fine. Medical specialties can be very stressful as a career. Perhaps you are on the right track, not to impress others, but to live your life as you yourself , not someone elses' idea of what you should become.

I am 37 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!

I, and I know I'm not alone here, disagree....

You might have made some poor choices in the past and, with the luxury of hindsight, many others will have done the same. Remember that you never have been or ever will be, to quote your words, a zero. You are far more than that. Be positive, you got this far and at some point things will go your way.

You seem to be measuring yourself against other people which is pointless. Someone once put it to me that everyone has their own book with their own story. A person on chapter 15 of their book would appear to have a much more developed story to you when you are just on chapter 2 of yours. Don't worry about their book, yours is the only one you can write. Also, if you are not happy with the way your book is going you can put it down and start a new book, the only rule is that you have to start at chapter one again.

If you are at chapter one today, then think of the things you can do in the chapters yet to come. Don't hang on to your old book, your new book will have a much better plot.

+1 to all of the above from someone with a BA, and an MA, in a fairly-low paid job. Life has knocked you down, but you've already lifted yourself up again, and it'll keep getting better given time. I know I'm a very lucky guy and I won't let you forget that

Lucky you, I am out all night.

Looking forward to cycling home in the morning.

But you'll be out then anyway!

I found Mrs. GAs car keys, not so easy as it would seem, as it is a push-button start car. Once I found them, it was no end of trouble getting them out of where they had fallen. But I learned a few things in the process.

 

[Illaveago]

It is -4.5 outside , it is still dark with tiny dots in the sky. I have just been deicing the car and it is covered in what looks like millions of bright tiny sequins.
