The 'what You Do For A Living' Thread

Redsteve · November 3, 2008

I work for a fishmerchant, filleting and delivering fish to restaurants.

It's a cold and smelly job but the money is not too bad. :)

The downside is that my car always smells of fish! :(

It is easy to find in the carpark though as it always has a cloud of flies hovering over it.

I'm a part time pole and lap dancer. and Russian gymnast.

I also teach people to drive when I'm not prising myself off a pole or lap.

My hobbies are complaining about the Driving Standards Agency and drinking Gin.

On my top ten list of things to do before I die is to lunge at the Pope.

My starsign is capricorn, my unlucky stone is Ronnie Wood, and my unlucky number is anything sung by Des O'Connor.

Favourite football team is Acrington Stanley.

I'll stop now.

I'm a uni student studying a business information systems degree, and was until I quit recently due to non payment of wages an IT technician (3rd line/onsite) so I'm now looking for a part time job in IT incase anyone has any going at their place of work or can hook me up somehow ;) Done network installs etc.

I spent 20 yrs as an engineer in the RAF, specializing in later years in weapons and explosives - don't annoy me, I know 100 different ways to re-unite you with your creator.

Now, I do something a little different.

My main job is as an actuary in life insurance determining how much money we need to keep the company solvent and meet all the rules. If you don't know what an actuary is, and most people don't (the remainder regret they do), it's effectively an accountant who's very good at maths and has no personality.

There are a few jokes about actuaries. E.g. what does an actuary use for contraception?; how do you spot an extrovert actuary? See below for answers.

We actuaries are useful though. I can tell people how long they can expect to live and how many years they can expect to live gibbering in a rest home, or the size of Gordon Brown's pension in multiples of that paid to the average pensioner and how much he takes from every litre of fuel. Bet you regret reading now, eh?

I have some other jobs, such as free babysitter for my boys when my ex-wife wants to go out, free business adviser for my ex-wife, bank-rolling my ex-wife in her 5-bed house while I live in a rented flat in an Asylum (honest).

I'm thinking of packing it all in, living off benefits and replacing my maintenance payments with unpaid work for my wife (seriously).

His personality!

He mumbles at the other person's belt not his shoes.

Can I PM you a rather long list?

Jim.

Ian D · November 4, 2008

All PMs gratefully received.

My ex-wife checks her car underside with a mirror every morning.......but she's safe as I'd never risk blowing up my boys by mistake. She'd better watch out for the pressure-activated shotgun cartridge underneath the driver's seat though. One of my lads did build one for a motorbike but we persuaded him it was a bad idea to put it on his own bike as he might forget to flip the arming switch off one day (it was pretty spectacular when we set it off on his test bike)

Cheers,

Ian
