"Not exactly a model way of 'careering' but,here goes: started at 10, Ron's paper shop on Trinity Sq- paper round,5 days a week at £1.50,on Saturdays pulled a foreigner at Dennis &amp; Roberts, answering the blower whist Sam supped in the snug!! Moved to Bulwell in '73 and settled onto a council estate.a new one for me..I was bred on streets!! This place was twinned with Chernobyl, I thought. Met a girl at school who was minted,they 'lived' in Rivermead flats in the week and Chilled in Kirkby Bellars on the weekend,helped her dad make bottle tops in a gaff behind Andy Bones..£15.00 for two full shifts!!- drank Clan Dew as if it were water!! After 2 years, that went west- she dumped me for a 2 litre Capri,worked at Moorebridge garage,pumping fuel til' midnight. Had a row at the Becket and walked out in '77- never to return..picked myself up and went painting friends houses and self taught myself at home.Found Kafka,Steinbeck, Kerouac and fell in love with music halls and Dirk Bogarde's books and films.Built up a large portfolio and went to Mansfield College of Art..my self taught fauvism pissed in easy. On Chesterfield rd.South, next door was the bus sheds..I was always in there..kopping buses,still at the pumps at night time.'79 took a job in the Summer at Island st.loading lorries..did loads of overtime.. Haulage strike was on/off.I was like the factory cat,came to Ireland backpacking, got 5 o'levels and 3 a's at college..went back to Boots until Xmas and in the new year found myself suspended on power winch and cradle/bench rolling paint on tankers..subbying for BP in Rotterdam,DJ's in a bar and lived in Schiedam. Came back to Bulwell with asthma and a serious wedge..and never yet signed on!! However things went on the slide!!..more another night. "
