Like strangers in an unfamiliar country walking over a hidden treasure, day by day we enter the world of Brahman while in deep sleep but never find it, carried away by what is false. The story of the six and a half men and their journey is search of work and the good life continues. To be middle aged and unemployed is a challenge, add unemployable to that and you have, what literary folks would refer to as, a conundrum. But conundrums, like riddles are there to be solved, and with a large helping of Irish luck, sure nothing is impossible. Join us on their journey, a search, not just for work, but a voyage of self-discovery. This book takes you on an engaging caravan to the centre of the Irish soul; there are many twists and turns on the way. At times, we are driven to despair, as we see our heroes going off on futile tangents. We also get plenty of opportunities to laugh at their eternal ebullience and childlike naivety of our Falstaffs.

There is only one road, on which we all travel down. As the great man says, we are all accompanying each other home.
