You know that the military compare civil servants to a SA-80 (our cr*p standard issue rifle)?

You can't make 'em work and you can't fire 'em! :D :wink: :wink:

[Guest superkingdave]

judging by some of the people in our office they've also decided the civil service is a good alternative to a mental asylum

[Guest beersoft]

Scribbling. :D

No, seriously, it's short for penetration tester. I'm a professional hacker.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

That's cool, i worked (read: tech supported) a pen tester depatartment for the company i worked for, some of them were scarey people with what they coud do to a machine.

I'm a student now btw, seeing as the threads been resurrected. Doing Electronics with Satellite Engineering at Surrey. The buggers have ppm 56k as the only internet access in the halls hence my dissapearing around September time. Roll on June when i get broadband back :D

[Guest Maverick]

I am a software consultant (aka programmer/Business analyst ;-) ) . I specialise in software for the Credit cards industry.

Mmm - never spotted this thread before - nice one.

As for me, I have a daytime job in Local Government at a very senior level. Additionally, I am a non-renumerated Company Director, of a Company that manages, maintains and looks after around 25,000 properties in the North East of England.

And then finally, I am Head Doorman or Bouncer, at a Bar in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and I arrange and look after Door cover for two other bars near to mine.

A bit of a mix, methinks.

I also teach ICT privately, though to be fair, I have less and less time for this nowadays.

[Guest squall]

i study in newcastle.

Im a civil servant but got sponsored to go to university :D

In my eight years as a Bouncer, I've worked nearly all the bars of Newcastle and Whitley Bay mate.

But the bars I run now, I'm not too sure you'd want to visit.

That's clue number one.

Clue number two is my avatar picture - in particular, the frames with my girlfriend in them.

Those two clues should give you an idea of what I mean.

(EDIT - That doesn't apply to ME however - just thoght I should clarify)

:wink:

As for the John Prescott comment by mccware - who me? Two Jabs? Nah, it only takes one from me to get them down *lol* I wish.

[Guest mcwarre]

But the bars I run now, I'm not too sure you'd want to visit.

If it has them luverlee ladies in it then I wanna go!!!

[Guest shadamehr]

Clue number three then...

It wouldn't have ME working there, were it not for such lovely ladies there!

[Guest martin]

Was that 'Two jabs' or 'Two Jags' :wink:

OMG - its like the clues from 3-2-1. I'm sure there's a holiday in there somewhere :D

Hmmm Politic, Clubs, Luvely ladies :? It could be anyone.

[edit]

Hold on. I was thinking strip bars but we would all want to visit them ;) Only bars I wouldn't want to visit would be prison bars. Is this the government connection ?

[Guest shadamehr]

There are other bars you might not be keen on visiting, depending on your sexual orientation... Check the avatar again in relation to my gf.

[Guest squall]

ive heard the newcastle gay area is a good place to meet straight girls! :wink:

ie girls who aren't out to pull go there so they aren't hassled by drunken guys all night.

[Guest martin]

Yikes...

It would be like Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee, "IT'S A GEEZER" :D

God, my idea of heaven. They like ladies, I like ladies. God, I must be a lesbian then! :D ;)

[Guest martin]

God, my idea of heaven. They like ladies, I like ladies. God, I must be a lesbian then! :D ;)

Like I keep telling all the sexy feminine lesbians (now that my clues have let you work it out what type of bar I work in), all I can say is "babe, take me - I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body. Well I am for you anyway sexy"

So far, not many of the sexy REAL women have took me up on my offer though.

[Guest Pondrew]

Heh.

Coming back on topic: I work in a call centre, specifically at the moment I work in Mercedes-Benz Service 24HR (like the AA or RAC but just for Mercedes owners) but have worked in BMW, Mini, VW, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Subaru, Kia, etc, etc. Seems no matter what car you buy, it's gonna have it's problems! Maybe that's why I put up with small 'issues' in my Smartphone, there's no such thing as a perfect product.
