Once did a freelance job for an advertising company that basically involved 10 of us going to different cinemas around the country and setting up a motion detecting camera in each, then the audience would come and watch the film and one of the trailers would be this multiplayer game that they controlled by their movements (leaning left/right to steer a car), so you had 10 audiences in 10 cinemas all playing against each other at the same time for a Volvo ad. I enjoyed it loads as I got to spend a lot of time with the projectionists and play with the gear which was awesome, plus they gave me a 35mm spool of a film trailer as a souvenir.  ____________________ CBT February 2008 | A2 June 2008 | Yamaha YBR125 (written off) | Honda CBF125 (current) |

Nothing so cool as neil.s.
Or as errr. Different as Mr Badgers.
Digging huge pits by hand and filling them with animal parts on a defunkt farm (Biding my time before running mainframes at ICI)
Telephone sales job and sending rude poems to girls (Got sack...A Father opened mail and was disgusted)
Laying lino for ladies who would save me their dock ends.
Painting old folks home and not lasting long as the old dears would pour paint over themselves whilst i was emulsioning.

I used to go round the local estate putting up flat pack furniture for people... was quite a dab hand at assembling that lot... and was told many i time i massively undercharged for what i did. Still, i enjoyed it and it took up my time when i could have been out causing mischief.
I also used to babysit my neighbours young kids when they go out for the night...
Used to rent myself a few films from blockbuster, and a few bags of sweets and ask them to refund me the cost. Used to be in quite high demand aswell  ____________________ NDB 19/10/1989 - 1/11/2010 |Nowhere.Elyseum wrote: I get the distinct feeling that Tim should be our secret weapon for future trolling.

I was sucking said nipple at the time in an attempt to get wood, the blackhead did not help.
As for the ballet dancer, I was supposed to be meeting a jazz musician in a bar that the last time I had visited was straight, it seems that in intervening months it had crossed over. As the Royal Ballet were in it gave it a bit of a gay feel but I was interested in a couple of the girls from the core de ballet and they were playing with my nipple piercings when one of the male principles joined in How he actually calculated £160 I do not know but at least I am aware of my market value although it may be subject to depreciation. ____________________ Bikers make great organ donors, get 115 on your licence today. |

Could you not have sucked the other nipple to get wood, instead of the blackhead one?

Most surreal was probably carrying 100kg turtles through a 'people' doctors surgery to get an Xray.
That got some odd looks.
Have turned up for an agency job strimming central reservations at 9 am, and by 9.05 they guy had me rolling his joints for him
And by most peoples books, the whole 7 months working as a Sterile Services Technician was definitely far from normal. I can identify an operation by the unique smell the tray comes back with, and I can promise you the emergency C sections come back looking dire. Picking lumps of bone/marrow out of drill bits was actually pretty fun. Although I found my line at the diseased phlegm left in the laryngeal masks  ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...
From September 2014 to January/February 2015 I will not be using any English, nor reading any. As such, I won't be on here. PM at will, but I won't be checking/posting unless in emergencies. Certainly not for the first couple of months. Please berate me savagely if I break that rule... |

In a moment of desperation...
I responded to one of those dodgy ads you just know aren't going to be up to much. "12 Sales and Marketing Managers required for fast growing international promotions company! £50,000,000,000 OTE plus bonus."
It's actually for those people you see going around small town high streets with large hold-all bags filled with shit items you'd normally find in Poundstretchers. They can't sell on the street straight to punters so they go into shops and try and sell to staff using the shops selling permit or some such thing, I didn't understand it fully.
It was very strange. You were expected to turn up at 7:30am for an hour and a half (yup 1.5 hours) of motivational activities (running around an empty room like a shower of daft twats) then at 9am it was off out to Perth or Bathgate to sell crap to unsuspecting and unresponsive shop staff.
I did it for half a day. I still remember this chinese guy during the completely stupid 'training' in the morning. They had this thing called a 'helicopter sale' some sort of multiplier bonus if you sold 3 pieces of tat in a row. This guy started doing his best impression of a helicopter flying around the room: totally brain washed yet he looked intelligent and normal.
I was also a private investigator for 9 months, but I was young an naive so a bit shit at it.

That's one job I'd love to try, if only so I could justifiably wear a pork pie hat. Plus, "Hammers, P.I." sounds pretty damn cool.
Was it a good job, or one of those jobs that sounds really interesting but in reality is actually quite boring? |
The latter really, although it was cool to be able to say thats what you did.
In reality though, Private Investigators for the most part are a good sized cog in the debt management machinery. In many cases, they act for Debt collection agencies (the most odious of organisations) and local authorities. For that reason, I couldn't do the job and sleep at night. People need to pay their debts and all that stuff, but we've all been in that situation where your being hounded for money you just can't pay or aren't even due...
The divorce work was interesting I suppose, but even then, in hindsight it was a bit sleezy. Insurance work I suppose was a bit more righteous and quite funny (it wasn't unknown for us to let the tyres down on a car owned by someone claiming to be injured and off work to see if they'd change it themselves.)
Other than that, no car chases, shoot outs or sultry females/dodgy males. Some of us had 'contacts', people who'd share information but would be sacked if it became known.
Looking back, it was a wee bit tawdry to be honest. I still have my laminated card somewhere though.
