Welcome. What’s your current job?
 
Im guna jump off the nearest bridge if I read another middle age bloke decide it's a good idea to get into plastering!

I wanted to be a professional footballer at 16 but hey s**t happens!
 
Don’t do it is my advice. 1 it’s a young mans game and 2 a 27 year old will have more experience and wipe the floor with you as competition so I would look at something else

Plastering is the new mid life crisis thing to do it seems, back in day it was buying a convertible a Harley Davidson growing a ponytail wearing double denim to rock concerts all that’s gone out the window for men who are currently in a mid life crisis and they just want to do a plastering course, so any woman who has a scout on here and reads this, this is your sign your husband is bang in trouble

I was a factory planner for my old job before my re birth as a plasterer
