I do believe it was Spitfires old bean. I remember when Ginger bought it. No kippers for him.

I left school and did an apprenticeship in the garages trade for 4 yrs, then left to join the RAF, spent the next 23yrs going round the world drinking different beers learnt loads about Guns, bombs, rockets etc, great fun but no use in Civvy street.

Since I left I have been in IT, now on my third job with the NHS

I used to frequent widdrington station often, my friends parents live in the first house on the mile road (the bungalow on its own) and we regularly used to meet there to mess about with cars

I'm a buyer, started in raf as a catering accountant which is a cross between a materials req and a invoice clerk. Was made redundant after a tour of Kuwait and the Falklands. Joined civvy street in 07 specialised in buying. I now work for SMD and I'm helping to build the worlds first deep sea mining machines.

Theres some very varied careers on here :broon:

As a sideline, that started as a hobby, but now pays £2500 per day tax free, I test Aston Martins at full throttle through the streets of Monaco, with a fully expensed casino account and use of a luxury penthouse in Casino Square. I get a £1000 bonus each time I have to check the exhaust note through the tunnel, which is sometimes boring after the 7th time in one night. Still, seven grand is seven grand I guess......keeps the MG in head gaskets.

As Aston thought the cars should have a passenger to test weight distribution, they assigned Holly Willoughbooby to be the designated passenger and accommodating room-mate. She incidentally can cook a wicked full English, which she delivers on a tray with a bottle of rare £750 per bottle single malt.

As a favour, I assess her choices in lingerie. Gets boring after a few hours of her modelling it.

I go to bed when she invites Cheryl Cole and Jessie J to frolic in the hot tub with her. Boring.

It's tough work sometimes, and tiring. But I do my best.

I'm Johns biographer. :lol:

This covers a small portion of stuff that I have broken/fixed/taught/operated mainly in an electrical maintenance capacity.

cool! the machinery I work on is a little different to that and boy do they break them! lol

Worked in motor insurance for 15 years, then became a single parent for a while before going into the NHS, where I am still as a practice manager.


John reading some of your previous post theres a bit of a theme going on with Holly Willoughby. Best keep it quiet from Sue.
