I got some SOLID GOLD hilarious gossip from my mother last night. Solid gold - and with a 'celebrity' angle too.
Alt: it's been pointed out to me that the money I get from selling up would enable me to walk out of my job and start again doing something completely different. This is probably the best chance I'll get to have another crack at something I might possibly even enjoy. I wondered what people's take on this idea might be - idiocy in this current climate, or courageous?

Depends how motivated by money you are.
I can see you as a history teacher; doesn't pay a great deal though.

You betcha.
One of my mother's best friends' 'partner' is the father of modern-day pop 'sensation' Frank Tuner. He's a bit of a knob but quite funny.

Except that now they've split up, because in his early 60s, he has decided that he's a fucking TRANNY. He's gone right in for it, and has published articles in tranny mags of which he is hugely proud.

He has been estranged from his pop star son for several years - but even so, publishing such material accompanied by your FULL REAL NAME might be considered a little thoughtless in terms of your lad, especially when accompanied by fuill glorious photos of you in your 'gear'.

The punchline came from my mum: 'it was really over after the rent boy thing, but this stuff was just too far'.

'Roger has his good points' she said, to which I replied 'yeah, two of them - in his bra'. 'I'm going now dear, goodbye'

It was one of those eye openers, as I had never thought of it as a place to go for a holiday but what a fucking brilliant country. Even more surprising (due to the nature of how the Germs are portrayed on TV I suspect) was how nice the locals are.

I do suspect that - to inject a sensible note - the decision depends on what the new career would be

You're a bit old for rent boy, frankly.
