Which was your most favorite job that you've ever had...

Dunno why I'm thinking of asking this, just am ;)

Mine would have to be either at 150 Transport Regt. or El Gringos Resturaunt :)

My current one.

Working on a pier, spending my time fixing fruit machines may not be everybodys cup of tea, but:

i. I havent actually had that many other jobs.
ii. My new boss, who bought the company only about a month ago, took some of us to Old Trafford for a Champions League game a couple weeks back.

Don't you actually fix the machines to pay out only so often?

Also, remember that gambling is buying fun, not investing money.

all I get is free membership to allow me to vist when I'm not volunteering along with family for free, and I can drink as much tea and soup from the messroom for free (as long as you don't take the **** doing so!)

When you think how much the engineers drink in the way of tea, you won't put a dint in the supply, I've not seen one profetional engineer at uni without a cup of tea...

don't forget - you need your good old cafe that cooks everything in oil: my usual order is a Sausage cob with HP sauce when on the job, great when you're in the 08, it has a hotplate so you can do your own if you can be bothered - that's the secondman's job when he is fed up of waiting for someone to take the scotches and brakes off a load of wagons you're dragging out!
