You want to be a squint? Come over to the dark side my dear (that would be sound as the darkness generators, oops sorry, lighting designers have turned all the f**king lights out again).

As you might have guessed, Sound Engineer by trade, although migrating in a Broadcast/Video and electronics maintenance kind of direction now at the Royal Opera House.

What a small world, I used to deal with you lot when I lived in Coventry just down the road from Bedworth, the place serviced most of my bikes after Frettons closed. Right up to when my CBR600FM was swiped on September 12th 1992. Back in the days when I had hair. Still hope the thieving pond life seriously hurt himself on it.

At least I'm back on a bike now.

Yup, Alfs place always seemed honest.

Oh, forgot about the topic (some nutty bar IIRC)

I mainly do stuff, this weekend I have to carry on doing stuff cos half my team was out (through no fault of their own). Just applied for another job to do some different stuff.

Oh and I don't get paid enough for the stuff I do.

Trained as a psychiatric nurse 30 years ago and after 26 years in the NHS I now work for a Brain Injury charity as a Service Manager covering Harwich to Glasgow and taking in Liverpool for good measure.

My weekend job....unpaid....is a driving and firing steam locomotives on the Middleton and North Yorkshire Moors Railways. Now they are truly awesome twin cylinder machines!!

I am employed on a pretty decent salary by a company that allows me to steal from them by spending endless hours during the working day posting threads on internet forums.

I've just taken over a technical helpdesk running the BACS service- direct debits, payrolls, that sort of thing- for Bank of Scotland customers. Bit of a backwards step career-wise but I needed out of my old scene. It's quite interesting work, by and large, and it's a good team I've inherited- total misfits but they're good. My own boss is possibly the most impressive manager I've ever worked under, a real talent, which makes a nice change from working under trained chimpanzees.

Remains to be seen what the job's actually going to be in the long run though, I took over at a bit of an odd time and the whole job's changing as fast as I can learn it.
