Post by: Flipside on April 16, 2004, 12:51:41 pm
A Shop hand in an Italian Delicatessan
A Delicatessan assistant at a Supermarket.
An Avionics trainee at Farnborough Airbase
A Dropout
A labourer in a warehouse
An Administrative officer with the Metropolitan Police.
A Finance company swipe-card organiser.
A Wire salesman
A Lorry Loader in a clothing company.
And an administrator/trainee-watcher in a Training Establishment for youths.

Anyone else?

A bit spammy, but hey, it makes a change from politics :)

Well, you have a short temper when you have whisky in your blood. You really shouldn't visit the Irish pub down here where all the Dutchies are :p We've really 'Dutchified' the pub :D
