Fuck even the cooks make bombs, what should we do to rehabilitate Terrorists?

My pizza is in the oven,
its got great stuff all over it, and i'm really looking forward, i only ate an apple for breakfast so i'm starving.
I've also downloaded some music on recommendation from a friend, looking forward to listening to that too.
What i'd really like is some sort of idea of what i can do if i'm actually going to leave the pub trade.

not a huge amount,
as long as i'm getting around 20k i can pay mortgage and stuff, might have to cut back a couple of luxuries, but that would be sustainable for a new start somewhere. Maybe even a little less if Ladypig is willing to help support while i retrain

This is the problem I've been having
Things I'm good at and things I'd like to do - not always the same.
On the plus side, though, at least you've got some employment history behind you. I've been self-employed for so long I might as well have just written "Do not employ this person" all over my CVs.
And you're under thirty, which is another bonus.

no kids likely to be ill, can work antisocial hours as needed, all that nonsense.
I know the situation is dire these days, and there's anything up to 200 applicants for some jobs, but I'm not even getting the courtesy of a 'fuck off' email any more. in fact, a lot of them ask you not to contact them either, so asking for feedback is out, too.
