Having said all of that I have walked out on a job I didn't want to do. However, this was before the cuts. Now I would be lucky to get anything. I can't even start my own business because the banks added a job requirement to those loans.

About Cool mini or not: I ordered from them last year and it was a most dreadful experience. They have a 'don't care' attitude if they mess up your order. They sent me a mini which had no head. It took them 3 attempts to send the correct part, and were rude.

@MrElestial I am sorry to hear things are so bad in the UK. I think all citizens should take an interest in economics. I realize that I can't possibly be right about everything. But I respect people that have an opinion based in any amount of study.

[Eriatha]

Sorry. I'll say it again. When the economy is being battered and jobs are being cut in the UK, I can't just leave me job and move on. There are no jobs to be had. Don't tell me I can't complain about my employer when i can't get another job. I have been looking and applying for 2 and a half years, nothing happening.

[bluetablepainting]

@Eriatha So, you're already at the best job that you can get? No other possibilities?

[TheWolfBearProject]

You always come out with fantastic opinions shaun :) Cant wait to see some more Warmachine and Hordes on your channel

[bluetablepainting]

@TheWolfBearProject Thank you very much. I often think that maybe there won't be much interest in these more serious vids, but maybe I should make more.

[ChaosBroodLord]

Shaun, you may be the goofiest man on youtube, but you are without a doubt ingenious in nature

[jvry8c]

glad my home town won you over Shaun! :D

[MrElestial]

@bluetablepainting I completely agree with what you are saying. What I don't understand is how the general public let big companies and the government get away with certain things. I honestly feel that 'going rogue' and throwing off the shackles of the big companies is the way forward. I can imagine that after the first year (Setup costs...) the only thing that limits us is our selves. I have yet to figure out how to do this in the current climate, but Blue Table is an inspiration.

[MrElestial]

Couldn't help but notice the comments on the UK job market below. Unfortunately, it is true. The profession I am trained for is in the arts and humanities sector, and there is no more funding for that sector. Also there has been a massive shift in bias towards age range in UK employment, meaning 30% of jobs are inaccessible to younger people. The snow last winter shut down stores in rural areas as people shopped online, which bankrupt many small businesses... recruitment is dire for the young.

I don't know if quiting your job is as easy as you make it sound. But whatever, everyone has an opinion.

As to the idea of a successful game, I think a big determiner is price. GamesWorkshop is very pricy, which excludes a lot of kids that want to play. The only guys that can afford it are old dudes like me.

@bluetablepainting Technically, with the job situation here the way it is I'd agree. However, for the person I am and the intelligence I have, no, this job is an atrocious waste of my brain. The reason I am perfectly within my right to complain is that it isn't my fault that jobs all over the country are being cut. It isn't my fault that employers can't afford to hire people. If I was a painting expert and asked you for a job but you couldn't afford to hire me, I could moan about my crappy job.

didnt' you guys bribe a commisar with candy at adepticon?
