Barman during the evenings/weekends. Building site labourer/dumper driver/banksman by day. Also doing some web design and 3d architectural visualisation stuff in my own (very limited!) time. Though that is tied in with the building site, so when it's time for me to get moving with it they're setting up one of the rooms in the showhouse as my office ;)

Want to swap over to full time computing, which is a possibility at the moment as the architects we used are interested in what I'm doing. The other thing I'm considering is doing a degree in Naval Architecture, though beforehand I'd need to redo a couple of my A levels.

I drive a dust cart for the local council  :)

 though i'd like to get into the grounds maintinance/landscaping department as a career change, cos a collage course is way too expensive and i side step in the council might give me the "on the job" training  :wink:

I once watched that "Britains Hardest" and thought that Martin Freeman was a proper tool.  Then the missus started watching UFC and I saw him on there and I realised he was a proper nut case.   :shock:
