      work passions can be created by condensing your cv. you probably already have a paragraph at the top of it that you can rip.

      the life passions though....

      do you have an interest in things like...
      sport?
      music?
      theatre?
      cinema?
      family?
      food?
      painting?
      archeology?
      astronomy?
      technology?
      paranormal?
      transport?
      travel?
      photography?
      beedogs?

      i'm sure others will chip in...

        Anyone know the polite verbiage for drinking, smoking, screwing and doing as little work as possible?

              "So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun."

              good quote, i like it

                Ecky is the Best bit of the Bible - apart from St John tripping on Fly Agaric on Relevations.

                Why ? Because Ecky is in fact secular.

                Be not Too Hard
                For Life is short
                And Nothing is given to Man

                Be Not Too Hard -
                If He Tells Lies
                Or his Heart
                is sometimes stone

                Be not Too Hard
                When He blindy dies
                Grasping for things
                he does not own

                  do you have an interest in things like...
                  sport? Nope.
                  music? Love listening to music but can you call it a passion if you don't play any? It'd be like saying sex is a passion but I don't actually do it myself.
                  theatre? Oh yeah, I remember that.
                  cinema? Used to love it. Still think I do but have been once in last year.
                  family? Mostly dead. Brother and sister are as self-reliant as I am.
                  food? I'm a greedy pig but I don't necessarily care to brag about it.
                  painting? Hmm.
                  archeology? In the sense that I am interested in all knowledge. Passion, no.
                  astronomy? Likewise.
                  technology? Likewise, a bit.
                  paranormal? ?
                  transport? As passionate about transport as any long-distance commuter
                  travel? Ah yes. I used to do that.
                  photography? Sure, me and everybody else. Everybody's a photographer now, and it does show how much apparent skill was really just knowing how to set the controls, and actually taking the photos. Now the camera does the first, and the shots are free once you have one memory card.
                  beedogs? I'll guess bees and dogs? Same anyway: P off.

                  i'm sure others will chip in...
                  Maybe I'm just feeling a bit stale today....

                    I'm not sure how to express these my personal passions without upsetting the client
                    Say your passion is to be a George Best impersonator?

                    Actually, I'd tell the truth as it's none of their business how much you drink, smoke or screw (unless you are billing them for it). I'd leave out the bit about work though
