15 years younger because now I'm too much over the hill to take risks and making changes. Too late to start a new career there.

You work in an off licence don't you? if you're happy to start off in warehouses or factories you would soon get a job as a foreigner, pick up the lingo and you can move on to other things. Just save enough to live off for a few months and you'll be fine. Warning tho, going through estate agents you will be looking at over 1500 euros in application fees, deposits, month in advance etc. better to go private but then that can be a pain in the arse if they are arses

How hard it is depends on what you are willing to do, you will find a lot of people complaining there is no work will refuse to work in say a fish factory (talking Grimsby here) as they believe it's below them with their 0 GCSE's and love of White Lightening in the day whilst watching Jeremy Kyle. 

Email a few agencies, tell them your situation, and ask what the chances are of work if you come over. It's a long time since I was in Derby now but I bet there is at least 10 agencies there that take on staff for that kind of work. Get a year under your belt and then look at something you fancy more. Some warehouses now days pay a decent enough wage, better than an off licence if you are willing to work nights.

Security work is another job that you will always find vacancies for, sit a box, walk around every hour then sitting back on your arse.

Stay where you are Cisse and take early retirement

The Finnish government is considering a pilot project that would see the state pay people a basic income regardless of whether they work. 

The details of how much the basic income might be and who would be eligible for it are yet to be announced, but already there is widespread interest in how it might work.

Prime Minister Juha Sipila has praised the idea. "For me, a basic income means simplifying the social security system," he said.

The scheme is of particular interest to people without jobs. In Finland, they now number 280,000 - 10% of the workforce.

With unemployment an increasing concern, four out of five Finns now are in favour of a basic income.

"A basic income? Yes, I'd gladly have €1,000 (£700, $1,100) a month," says one man at a centre for the unemployed in Pori, near Finland's west coast. But the amount is unlikely to be anywhere near that high.

He is the among the jobless who have come to an old, wooden building in city, where they can get cheap food, shop at a second-hand market, and take part in a variety of activities on offer.

"It's a nice place to socialise," says another man sitting on a bench outside, enjoying the summer sun. People here have been out of work for a long time. 

"A basic income would encourage people to take a temporary job," says Paivi Hietikko, who helps out at the centre. Although she has no regular income at the moment, she does receive a payment for her work here.

"Having a basic income would mean the bureaucracy I´ve encountered at the employment agency would decrease."

In Finland, taking on work can cost you money if you are unemployed. 

A paid temporary job means lower welfare benefits.

And if that job comes from a low-wage sector, you lose out because there is a delay before the authorities allow your benefits to be restored once you have left the job.

Fundamental change

Many Finns nowadays have what are described as atypical working lives, in that few spend their entire lives in the same occupation and with the same employer. 

This fundamental change has prompted a need for reforms to the social security system. 

Supporters of the basic income believe it could offer an alternative to Finland's complex and costly benefit models.

Paivi Hietikko certainly sees its potential advantages - but she also wonders whether it would deter people from looking for work.

"The young especially might lose the motivation to look for a job, if it was, say, €700 a month. That would be too much," she says.

This has become one of the main concerns surrounding the idea. 

But experts say it is too early to tell what the outcome would be.

"What would be the impact of a basic income to employment in Finland - positive or negative? We can't really foresee how people would behave with a basic income," says Ohto Kanninen, from the Tank research centre. 

So the pilot project aims to get some answers.

Equality obstacle

The prime minister has expressed support for a limited, geographical experiment. Participants would be selected from a variety of residential areas. 

Mr Kanninen proposes testing the idea by paying 8,000 people from low income groups four different monthly amounts, perhaps from €400 to €700.

"If the impact on employment during the experiment was catastrophic, basic income would of course not be implemented on a large scale," he says.

One obstacle to staging a pilot project is Finland's constitution, which states that every citizen must be equal. 

Even a small-scale experiment would put its participants in an unequal position. 

However, Finns may be prepared to waive that principle of equality, if an experiment produces valuable information for society.

Actually we have closer to 400 000 unemployed. But the goverment twists those numbers down. In Helsinki you can't rent a studio apartment under 500 and usually it would cost 600-700 Euros. We are also very expensive country have high taxes.

And I have been set to take an early retirement at 50 years since I was 18. Been saving for that one over twenty years now since I saw this coming a long time ago.

That night guard duty in Derby is tempting though. I'm quite good at sitting on my arse all night.

Yes, but I'm already 44.

I changed career completely at 41 & should have done it 5 years earlier. I'm not someone who particularly likes change but it is one of the best things I've ever done.

As they say, it's better to regret something you have done rather than something you haven't.

Pleasingly brisk thank you. By the way, sorry I keep missing your calls but I might be able to squeeze you in next Thursday if I have an opening needing to be filled.

Hello dear fans Derby County.

I have a question for you?

I have at home a souvenir of your beloved team.

I wanted to ask how much it could be worth?

It is a frame with pictures of the team :

team of 1911/12 Second Division Champions e.g Buckley, Richards, Leonard

team of 1947/48 F.A. CUP Semi Finalist e.g Ward, Leuty, Towsend

team of 57/58 Winners of Division Three North e.g Brown, Oliver, Clark

team of 69 Second Division Champions April 5 1969 e.g Mackay, Hector Hinton

I add pictures - pardon the average quality, Frame and images in it are in perfect condition.

Thank you for your help!
