It's not something he planned, he just TUE fell into it, and despite all his best intentions he just TUE doesn't seem to be able to leave because he has to pay his TUE mortgage like everyone else. Of course his real love is TUE electronic music and this is just a stop gap until he finds TUE the perfect outlet for his music - okay so the gap has TUE lasted five years but that's not the point. Once he can get TUE himself motivated he'll be out of there and, as his ever TUE supportive mum says, people will always want to kill each TUE other. So that's alright then.. TUE This week Simon finally decides that enough is enough. His TUE stop gap at Heathcote Sanders has turned into a 5 year stop TUE gulf and he needs to get motivated and leave so he sits down TUE at his electronic keyboard for the start of a new era. The TUE trouble is that Simon realises that self-motivation isn't as TUE easy as he'd though and to make life even more difficult his TUE mother decides to get a job at Heathcote Sanders. As Judith TUE eloquently puts it, to have one member of the family working TUE in the arms trade may be regarded as misfortune, to have two TUE looks like genetic wickedness.
