Anyone for tennis? Posts: 647 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: March 23, 2006	So most of you came here based on your skills and that probably determined your first job. But, what if starting all over again really meant that; new country, new job! What would you love to be doing for a job - irrespective of the money you could earn? ( Anyone that says they're absolutely satisfied with their chosen career should go straight to the bottom of the class ) Me? I'd love a forecourt of beautiful classic cars in some posh part of Brisbane - and I'd damn well make sure I test drove a few each day!

Not my sort of thing really,I love working with people but not sure of that area.

OH is a carpenter/joiner so he'll still be doing that when he gets there. Kim

Reality - I would love to sit on a beach all day and do craft workshops for kiddies - lots of fun with everything that sparkles!!! Jo x x

She got a saturday job in a pharmacy whilst at school, then went to uni to study pharmacy, started work in the R&D dept. of a big American pharma company and, when we finally moved out here, began Aussie life in community pharmacy. Life's been nothing but medicines - from invention to sales - until now. This week she changed that for good. Leaving pharmacy to become a technical writer in the mining industry at 39. I'm really jealous. She'll get to spend time all over Oz mixing with those big Tonka toy trucks and seeing coal, iron, aluminium, etc. mines close up. Sure, she'll be flying here, there and everywhere and going to some of the most remote places in the country (such a drag - not), but (I'm rambling in my excitement) my point is... Nothing's set in stone. Opportunities are there for the taking. New start? Dream big! Paul.

It would have to be for the BBC, then most of the world would get to see/hear what I'd written (which is more than I can say for this 'ere forum ) and I could write British humour - it's the best in the world, don't you know?.

Paul. On that theme I'd have liked to be the tester for Les Dawson and Tommy Cooper jokes - told by themselves of course. Stuff like this is old but still get a chuckle...................... Two Aerials meet on a roof - fall in love - get married The ceremony was rubbish but the Reception was Brilliant. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Man goes to the docs, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says, 'I'll give you some cream to put on it.' -------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Doc, I can't stop singing the green green grass of home.' 'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.' 'Is it common?' 'It's not unusual.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. 'My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?' 'Well,' says the vet, 'let's have a look at him' So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says, 'I'm going to have to put him down.' 'What? Because he's cross-eyed? ' 'No, because he's really heavy' ------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Doctor, I can't pronounce my F's, T's and H's.' 'Well you can't say fairer than that then' --------------------------------------------------------------------- So I went to the dentist. He said 'Say Aaah.' I said 'Why?' He said 'My dog's died.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin. ------------------------------------------------------------------- So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said 'You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me 'Can you give me a lift?' I said 'Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- Two cannibals eating a clown. One says to the other 'Does this taste funny to you?' ------------------------------------------------------------------- Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off. ------------------------------------------------------------------- You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen; it said 'Parking Fine.' That was nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------ A man walked into the doctors, he said 'I've hurt my arm in several places' The doctor said, 'well don't go to those places' ------------------------------------------------------------------ I had a ploughman's lunch the other day. He wasn't very happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought some HP sauce the other day. It's costing me 6p a month for the next 2 years. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Phone answering machine message - '...If you want to buy marijuana.............press the hash key...' ------------------------------------------------------------------- I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, 'No, the steaks are too high.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other 'Your round.' The other one says 'So are you, you fat slob!' ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ireland 's worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 1826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night.

You're absolutely right. That would be the dreamiest of dream jobs. Men only need apply - no masquera a pre-requisite.
