It strikes me that if we fused ALL the SH regulars together, we would STILL not get one sane, well adjusted person... :taz: :crazy:

Yup - just the one and even then they'd only be nine tenths! Thank God!

Ive never met a sane well adjusted person . If i did im not sure id notice them amongst the interesting folk .

28 Aug 2004

I'm the office dogsbody...... really I'm supposed to deal with company cars but that takes up about 2% of my time as I've been assigned something else to do which is far less interesting.
Hence why I'm looking for a decent job!
biggrin

Listing what I have done would fill a page, so I'll just deal with recent history.
Ex company director, Ex Hotel owner, Ex Ladies underwear shop owner, Ex Lorry driver.
Currently, Semi retired, Part time Chauffeur, Novelist, and of course, Occasional Swinger.
And not a qualification to my name.

Second guess Ice Pie. You're an emergency services operator confused

One of the above three guesses is on the right lines, although there is a strong connection with one of the others, and a tenous connection with the remaining one ;)

I think I have it :!:
Communications, public service, uniform.
You are either:
Part of the nuclear early warning team, hence the direct access to goverment officials, radio and newspapers etc, and the need for a uniform for instant recognition
Or,
You work at what's its name house, for the RNLI or Lloyds of London, and you're the guy who rings the bell if a ship goes down, and the above reasons apply.

Erm, you hinted at Civil Defence. There is an element of that in my job, but knowing that won't do you any good at all. :D
Oh, and I don't have direct access to radio stations, but I do tell the lady who broadcasts on several radio stations on our behalf what to say.
My voice is not heard on the radio.

Right then,
You work for the RAC or AA monitoring roads and traffic, hence the contact with Police, Our Ken, Radio, London News etc.
Now tell me I'm wrong :!: :!:

I have a very teed of girlie in bed becuase I had to turn this damned computer back on to find out what Ice Pie does for a living.
Read the message twice, saved the pici for my nephews bithday wrapping paper, and still didn't realise you're a station announcer till I returned position number 19 with the said young lady.
Now she's getting dressed and threatening to leave because I insisted on coming back here to send you this.
Ice Pie, I'm as mad as hell, but I'm not sure it's with you or myself.
Good-night.
2Aw sweetheart, it was a good joke really, and i'll introduce you next time we go down to London, honest."
