Georgio it was My very poor sense of humour I am sorry.

I think the only job you did not do was astronaut !

Best wishes

do not worry ... I realized that joking ..
to offend would you steal my wife, eat my pork, and burn my house ...
but since I do not have any of that .... it's hard to offend.
You're right, I did the astronaut, but I left it in his will written that my ashes be sent into space.
Are Protestant and my confession lay people can say Mass ....
then I did the priest ...
I changed jobs many times, and sometimes did more work at the same time that many of them have forgotten



still excuse to English if it is not correct

This has to be one of the most riveting reads, brilliant.

Thought I'd put my tanners worth:

Trained as a decorator, got bored then done some plastering and tiling, joined the forces back in 77 and came out in 80 ( worst decision of my life coming out ) returned to plastering, worked in the Ascension Islands for the BBC plastering for a short period, 17 years ago started back to tiling as well and still doing it, tiles are getting to the size of 900x1.800x5.6mm thick now.

Going to be 60 this year maybe time for a slower pace of works.

I also turn 60 but in a few day's. I joined the Army in 1971 and left in 1978, hence the nickname (1st Bn Royal Anglian Regt) I joined the Metropoitan police in the same year and became involved with the firearms teams. Left in 1992 due to an injury on duty, cracked some bone in my lower back. I have since worked with garden machinery, delivery driver and now work part time, which pays for the hobby.
Got a masters degree at the school of hard knocks, Lol.

[Andrew Perren]

Have spent the last 26 years in the paint & coatings industry. Currently National Logistics Manger responsible for Supply Chain and Inventory.

Partly because of my low tolerance for idiots and the fact I work at Head Office my other un-official title is " Sherriff of ******** Castle" - which is probably more accurate.

 

[Ybrossculpts]

Well what an interesting bunch, any brain surgeons?
Well I've also had itchy feet at times.
Builders labourer
Drinks waiter/Bar work
Sold ceramic tiles
Storeman
Delivery driver
Freelance commercial art/illustrator
Cleaner.
Have been currently working as a assistant in nursing neuro ward and now an ordely(got sick of showering patients)as well as running a little business on the side here and there with the wife teaching art to school kids. Along the way have helped been a dad and husband to five beautiful girls. I had to mention that last part. I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to be stuck in this hospital gig for another twenty odd years unfortunately. So here's where this part kicks in, because the decision to finally commit to this hobby will probably save me from being committed in another way.
Many thanks to PF and all the people on here.
Regards
Chris.

 

[Jazz]

Started life as a police cadet in the West Mids police and qualified as a PC in that force but left to join the Royal Engineers where I worked as a proud postie for 11 years before returning to the police, this time the Staffordshire force. Did 20 years with them and retired 4 years ago. I'm now a part time market researcher and full time figure devotee.

[Bootneck]

Had quite a few occupations in my time.

Taxi driver, but people kept talking behind my back.
Worked in a dog food factory untill the retrievers were called in.
Also worked in a ballon factory untill it went bust.
Worked in a glue factory but I couldn't stick it.
I then tried a biscuit factory but that was a crummy job.

Finally I went self employed and set up a hot air ballon company but I couldn't get the business off the ground.

Seriously though nothing so glamorous as these jobs. I retired from the public transport industry after nearly forty years, eighteen months ago where I ran a Yellow school bus section. I now have my dream job.

I left out Dog trainers, Geophysicists, Computer IT nerds and something PeeDee does. We sound like an evil league of nefarious gentlemen Steve

I actually 'work' in the accounts dept of a small print co. in Liverpool. Quite boring work in some ways, but I do enjoy giggling people into payment that should already have been made.
That is why my alter ego the Black Shadow makes tedium bearable.

Where he is actually known as the Enforcer - a scourge of customers who are more than a micro-second late in payment. If you don't pay Paul summons the evil forces of that famous Liverpudlian suburb Notty Ash, men in skirts and sacrifices haggis to the dark spirits that lurk in the depths of Toxteth. He's also when very upset prone to send out Liverpool football shirts provided they are warn to Everton games.
