I.Mupferit Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 A friend of mine is a BA Captain on 777's and is due to retire in 3 months on a very handsome pension. It just set me thinking that as a spotty youth, in the 60's, it had also been my ambition to become an airline pilot but, alas, something went awry along the way. Given your time over, and with the benefit of hindsight, what career would you now choose 🤔 Err...quality tester in a Harem maybe 🤔 😬 or.............. Advent calandar choccy for the best answer 😬 Brent Zetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevSull Too Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Well for starters I wouldn't go into ducting, there's no money in that apparently! 😬You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonie Hound Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 But then I can't bore my wife by pointing out the pipes in Ikea and telling her shedders have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yeah but if you had your time over and could choose what you did would you really choose to go to IKEA 🤔 It's every mans worst nightmare Brent Zetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I'd actually do something which is worse paid If I had my time over I would have studied history and gone on to be a curator of an obscure collection of tudor manuscripts I wouldn't change meeting and marrying Michael, nor would I change our Caterham and the many trips and events we have done in her Tam Edited by - Tam on 2 Dec 2003 10:12:58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hoopy, what are you saying man 🤔 I know a very good therapist for what ails you. Repeat after me.......

I.Mupferit Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 That's ok though Rachael 'cos, like you, they are the girls that probably like cars and beer ..........ergo, one of the boys Now Tricia, my nearest and dearest bless her, hates cars BUT loves to shop.............for anything!!!!!!!!!! And it drives me crazy. She even has a brooch fashioned into the phrase 'BORN TO SHOP'. 😬 So shopping goes into 'Room 101' I'm afraid.

Debert Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 It's easy - Treat shopping like an adventure. As in "We're going to hunt the shopping monster" And make it fun! Annoy the kids who are dragged along by their parents (it's a shop, not a bloddy playground) Annoy the shop staff who come and say "can i help you" - "yes - give me that widget for less than half marked price - and show me the manual that goes with the very difficult looking remote control" /etc. You can't measure safe driving in miles per hour (or kph if you're pedantic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Brent, Thanks, I think I'd definitely rather be at home with a beer watching the football or the rugby or out messing about with cars than shopping. Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Ah yes, but as Michael points out to me, whilst its all well and good to have a girl who can do an oil and filter change and understands why sport on the telly is worth watching, they rarely wear skirts, heels or makeup and never have any fingernails Or maybe that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
