My mate used to be a courier. Reckons it long hours for not a lot of money these days, but if you are stuck for work it's worth thinking about

You will need a suitable bike (not many courior companies supply the bikes...) as you wouldn't want to subject your P&J to all that abuse....

Don't think I'd fancy it, rather save my riding for when I want to.

But I'm not riding at the moment (not insured, can't afford it). But if I was earning more than I am now I may be able to afford to run the bike

I love made up words. There should be a dictionary equivalent of Pop acedemy or big brother where we get to vote and keep a silly word in the dictionary forever.

There are a great deal of silly words in there that no-one ever uses (not even scrabble champions) so a few more wont hurt.
