Well duh!

Standing on the precipice of redundancy with only the dead tree root which is my technical knowledge keeping me from plummeting down into the valley of cohabiting with the in-laws as I am.... I'm constantly on the look out for new career avenues and I think I have found my niche. While watching another rerun of the Sarah Beenie Show (a.k.a. Property Ladder) over dinner, I found myself yelling at the set in much the same manner as a fanatical Stoke City fan - though thankfully not spilling my tea all over the settee. I have now decided to offer my services to all of these home / garden / parenting / small business improvement shows as a freelance "Reality Server"... simply, when things just get too ridiculous, I can be wheeled into frame on a little trolley and, raising my eyes heavenward while gesturing in a wildly fed-up manner (I was born in Italy) and say, "Well DUHHHH". While delivering a much needed dose of reality to the contestants / participants a la know-it-all-teenager (think Harry Enfield's 'Kevin'), I will also be providing much needed catharsis to the audience and presenter, Beenie, Colin and Justin, etc. Eventually - when Paxman retires - I could branch out into current events shows.... In the meantime, look out for me pitching this on Dragon's Den!!!! At the very least, I should get good odds on Debra Meaden throwing me down the stairs!!!!!!

    If you are made redundant - and I sincerely hope you are not - then write a book because I feel pretty certain that you would have 212 buyers straight away - you are a natural!

    Something along the lines of 'The revolving life of a gardeners wife' - I can almost see the film too and I wonder who Hollywood would (try saying that fast, it is a bit like an Edward Woodwoodwood) have lined up to play Fereday?

    Maybe Fereday would play himself but, if they did make a film, would he do his own weeding and pruning shots or would he insist on a stunt double?
  • Ha ha ha!! Fereday has suggested Johnny Depp - while I aspire to the Nigella / De Thame standard... in all honesty, I think that Katie Brand with a voice over by Joan Rivers would be more realistic! And, sad to say, Fereday would never let anyone else do the weeding and pruning - he wouldn't let anyone near his beloved Felco's!
  • Hey! I'm not that precious!

"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

Groundleader replied to Peter sellers's discussion Retirement advice
"This is definitely NOT my field of expertise, but I'd guess what most buyers might be interested in, could include:
1)  What's the realistic market value of your "hard" assets (vehicles, machinery, tools, materials etc).
2)  For the "goodwill" part…"

"Interesting with the weibang I've had 1 for 5yrs bought new and it's been fine nothing to report as of yet which compared to the honda new needing a new back end after 18 months."

Sam Bainbridge replied to Dougie's discussion Looking for a new roller machine
"Buy an old Honda roller mower, the new ones break in 18 months and cost you £500 that is then repeated every 12 months.
Either a honda or others the same which actually came out of the same factory with different names, sharp, lawnflite, kaaz, all…"
