Title: Career roundabout
Post by: Ronald_McBurger on 11 July 2007, 16:11:18

Recently I decided to step back into my old job. One person on here knows what I used to do.

So, 1st prize is for correctly guessing exactly what that is. I will give you a clue, it has nothing to do with driving.

Hmmm. If you made a live address to 8.3 million people you must either be the Pope or the Queen.

Sorry to spoil it for everyone else but I'm sure I'm right. ;D ;D ;D

A former star of The Sweeny, you know, one of those dodgy looking criminal types they used to have on.......or maybe a dalek in Dr Who.... ::)

To be honest I probably know to but, you have had more different jobs than 'Jack of all trades' so its a case of guessing which one!!!

I bet you don't know. I haven't ahd that many jobs either. certainly no more than 100 or so. I get bored. been doing driving instruction for 8 months now. Enough already.

Just because I said I will be back in a mo, doesn't mean that I will be back quickly with your answer. You are entitled to voice your opinions, as long as they don't offend (whioch the haven't yet), but if you can't wait that long you will just miss out and then you may struggle to get over it, won't you. ;D
