Zapp Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Driving late night private hire taxis. Funny people, fights galore (I was younger and fitter then) and suggestable women in equal measure. What more could a man ask for?

viking Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 bedst job i ever had was night manager at morrisons, i used to set the lads off filling the shelfs, then i would go sleep in the first aid room from 11 till 6 then check the shop floor make sure everything was ok, but the best thing about it was 3 nights a week there was a 19 year old bird used to come in and work the cook and bake section, well she used to get her in the sick room and finger her up the duff hole, lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 i got an easy £300 quid once for being a ''bodyguard'' for a few hours. all i had to do was go to a dog racing track near swindon with a guy i worked with and look mean. being alot fitter, balder and a bit of a meat head back then i pulled it off quite well the easiest job must be the one i do now. servicing army vehicles. in total i'll be lucky to do 2 hours work a day. most of the time im playing solitare, drinking brews, playing pool in the rest room or pretending to be working. ( and i've just found out how to get onto the net, so im on pigeon watch most of the day too) and my boss still thinks im awesome!!! in fact if i put as much effort into working as i do pretending to work i'd probably go far :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I think the best job I have ever had is the job I'm doing now. Since being made redundant I have started a window cleaning business. I know people look down on window cleaning as not being a proper job but its great. I'm totally my own boss, I don't have to work with people I despise ( like I did before I was made redundant). I don't have to go to difficult meetings anymore and best of all I am out in the fresh air. I work the hours I want and I can please myself. The moneys good too, average house £14-15, two houses an hour, work it out for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 :look: Clearing a farm of feral cats, farmer offered me £5 a cat and gave me a silenced .22 pistol (was 1983) and 2 boxes of eley subs to clear his disused farm buildings of ferals as they kept attacking him, 2 hours and 2 barns later....35 dead cats!!!!! Scary stuff as they were really nasty but a fair pay day for a 16 year old! The petrol soaked bonfire after was a bit smelly though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Paperboy, 40 houses a day, 20 mins, £7 a week. It doesn't get any better than that. And on Monday the papers were lighter. In those days £7 got you 5000 penny sweets, a copy of Viz and the local bike would let you stick your finger up her bum. :look: thats the best job in the world. id do that for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urikastu Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Years ago. I spent two nights as part of a team in the Bristol mortuary washing the walls and ceilings down, getting them ready for painting and decorating. As you can imagine it was creepy but it was hilarious at times climbing over the fridges etc., especially when somebody almost fell off the scaffolding because a bodybag was being wheeled in on a trolley beneath us. Unforgettable memories :look: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I used to work/live in Spain as a foreign exchange and futures trader. When I first started out, it was 10am start, 2 hour lunch with a load of booze and then finish at four and the office would walk (5 mins) down to the beach and play football. My boss used to ring me up some mornings and say "what's your prediction on the jobless figures?" I'd say, "Erm, I think up 25,000" He'd say, "good lad, get back to bed and I'll see you after the weekend" I really wish I'd stayed out there, but it ended up being so corrupt and I didn't get paid some months, so I had to call it a day. Nevertheless 500 euros a week, plus bonus wasn't bad when I was 18! Top that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudpatten Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Retired from the Police in 1996. Up to that date, or thereabouts, the job was an endless round of sex and violence. My what fun we had! Nowadays, or so they tell me, its all bloody paperwork and political correctness. Think I saw the last few years of "The Job" when common sense still had a part to play and people had a sense of humour. Great whilst it lasted! (And the pay was`nt bad.) Nick.

Only another 18yrs and you'll have done what we all want They published some names of retirees who died recently the other day and some of them retired in the 70's - bloody marvellous ! P.
