I have been placed into a totally different role to the one I was in only 3 weeks ago, yet still working for the same establishment. This one has none of the stresses of the last one, is 7.30-3.30 mon-fri and it situated in a fairly lofty position overlooking a pretty good view. Its a move which has happened purely by accident, however at this very moment in time i kinda dont miss the old role, which is questioning my longer term commitment. Make sense?

I totally admire you for asking but without wanting to reveal yourself.
But I can also see DanDare's point that if we don't know we can't suggest,
So as a system All I can think of is what Fizz has said.
Because surely you know what you want to do - you just have to research if it's feasible.

Diesel Bike - I would love a good one. Diesel cars have taken off to now be preferable to petrol (certain cars & certain people even setting aside the economics of diesel) & diesel boats sound better than petrol.

I would also love an LPG bike - can you build me one please Blue?

Blue - with respect you need something where you can call the shots as you don't seem to like being out of control. So you need to be your own boss.

You don't stand fools gladly, so you need something where you don't have to.

You don't seem to get on with women, they let you down all the time, so a role with no female input is required.

You have a view on every subject under the sun, and you're always right, so no need for any input in fact.

There. I've given you the mechanism. All you need to do is find the right role that ticks all the above

Anyway, I have actually come to a decision and put in for redundancy .. I am not actually in line for it, but I can still apply. I now hope I get taken up on it .. in fact, I’ll be gutted if I don’t!!

I have done the sums and with my investments and taking out some of the expenditure, I can effectively retire now .. like embee, I can whistle for tip-bits every now and then if I fancy a treat

.. for example, one thing I thought of is hiring out video gear at trackdays .. I got the know-how and even a couple of sets of equipment. I can get more at minimal outlay too .. I am going to ring some TD companies later and see how much of a cut they take etc.

I won’t be a rich man, but I can do whatever I choose, from travelling the world working in bars, to starting my own business. It is also fully revertible if I decide it isn’t for me, I can get a ‘normal’ job say 1yr down the line

You are spot on with wanting to be my own boss, I really like the idea of being self employed/starting my own business!!

In case you didn't know, there was a exactly that at the FE trackday at Brands Sorry can't remember the name of the video provider (but could find out if important)
Think prices were £20 per camera per session, £35 for 2 cameras per session or £40 for one camera all morn or afternoon. People seemed to think that was good vfm compared with £30 for a CD of your photos.

I guess you could offer the added service of filming people on their bike instead of mounting a camera on their bike.
