[Sockpuppet]

But does your lead to an interesting story with a 3 legged farm cat and 9000 litres of milk?

Afraid not, only a boring one about breast feeding and nowhere near 9000 litres!

Erm...given that I'm just off AFF that would give me a WL of 2 so probably not the best idea (6'5" ).

Let's see - in my three years on the bench,
a) I fixed peoples PC's - OK, but not much variety;
b) Drove a minicab, quite enjoyable, but you don't make much money, particularly when the manager takes all the decent jobs for himself;
c) Drove stretch limos for a bit - quite good money (about £100 - 120 a job including tips), but a bit nerve-wracking driving in London. One job I had they were filming a BBC documentary about a man with a small penis in the back of the limo He had 8 women in the back with him (trying to make it grow, I think) Thank God for the privacy screen
d) Worked for the Post Office - boring, but good exercise
e) Bought & sold computer stuff on EBAY & in the local small ads. I've still got some truly ancient Proliant servers in the garage - I got them free, so if anyone wants one, let me know - you collect.
f) Worked for the local Community Mental Health team - very interesting - I was seriously considering retraining as a MH Social Worker, but FINALLY a contract came up. Good preparation for posting on here, though!

If I'm ever on the bench again, I'll have to try for a bit more variety. Either that or retrain as a teacher!

It sounds like the guy in the limo on that occasion wasn't a big tipper.

"I've been on a cooking course (would love to take rick steins course, or dorina allen),
"started trumpet lessons (kids love it, neighbours don't), "
"piano lessons - gave up"
"woodwork"
"learned to fly"
"learned to sail"
" (thats also my retirement plan, also plan to teach)."

Homo.
