I was shooting long before i was working, but i've been pushing paper for a long time, mainly for local government. :yawn smiley:

There are always exceptions to every rule, there's a pilot (military, airline and now charter) that comes to my clay club every now and again and he couldn't hit the side of a barn if he was inside it! :lol:

Nope sorry but you have that wrong. If you are married you become a slave after retirement before you get to die.

'Tis true, but she will still tell me that I'm going to be a slave and will no doubt let me know when it's time to die.

I shall stop writing now as her spidey senses will be tingling

I had the slightly unnerving experience of being hugged by the Viking in the kitchen on Sunday, this nothing bad usually however she was in the process of doing something to a lump of Muntjac and had a bloody great big knife in one hand.

A reasonable mix of professions so far.

[Grahamcs]

All very technical or military though.

Interesting.

Are you still licensed? I'm an M3! :)

No, I passed the RAE at 15 and became a G8, but after a few years' designing radios for a living I dropped it as a hobby. It was becoming too much like CB anyway.

One thing surprised me when I started my latest job. After years of dealing with customers who were generally anonymous and usually armed, I find dealing with the public so much more difficult ...

Started out castrating farm animals, now a Company Director, which one do I enjoy more? Give me a sharp knife and I'm happy, but it does not pay as well!
