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:

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 ...

Supplier of Non Destructive Testing Equipment, Medical and Industrial sources.

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!
