Started off as an Instrument Artificer but a car smash gave me partial amnesia, resulting in qualifications with the value of toilet paper. Since then I have been; a Bouncer, Property investment broker, Security consultant, Armourer, Production worker, Technical manager, Production manager, had my own Electronics company, then retired after a massive heart attack, followed by a triple by-pass and a busted ulcer.
Currently enjoying life and hitting lumps of metal with hammers. They may just turn into a car.

Ok, started off as,

Student,

Pilot,

Car parts sales man (accesory shop), and engine builder

Diving Equipment seller,

Under water salvage (2 weeks diving on Mary Rose),

Professional Driver,

Light mechanical Engineer and City & Guilds examiner (whilst gaining paper work for City & Guilds motor vehicle technician),

Mechanic (gynaecology mostly - working with a load of c***s), MOT tester

Biological, chemical engineer with a remit in time and personel management, on going job (read husband and Father of 2)

Current job has to be the best in the world. I go out and pick up young women, I take them home and they even pay me for the pleasure of it. Even better is that the wife actively encourages me to do it. So any one like to hazard a guess?
The correct answer will appear here shortly. Taxi Driver

Enjoy

ok, beat this one, I sell Teddy Bears for a living - yes really

Oh yes, and I used to be a paparrazzi - taking pics of celebs and royals in London and abroad.

Also worked as a sound man and production manager for a video production company producing short 'news pieces' for RTL (German TV) of all the mad crazy things us Brits do - hopefully and often incuding t*ts

Dead boring. Hot, dirty, smelly, and worst of all, your told how to do it by someone who hasn't the faintest idea.

Even welding inspectors are all ex bus conductors.

Am a commercial vehicle body builder in wakefield. Not that interesting really but if you look on the back of a truck and it says 'MICRA' under the back doors then odds are I probably built the shed!
