Post by: zippywight on 25 April 2014, 09:02:25 pm
Reading peoples posts and what not, I can probably guess a few peoples jobs however I bet we have a few unique ones out there...... So what do foccers do? Any dolphin trainers? Would be interesting to know. E.g we all know punk stig is a courier ( I think he is anyway) :rolleyes

I'm a programmer. In reality, I do web development for several travel insurance brands including all their frontend systems (what the public see's) and all the backend systems (such as reports, statistics and 3rd party integrations for comparison sites)

I'm a video game programmer. If you've been into gaming over the last 15+ years chances are you have played one of mine...

That's awesome and something I occasionally consider going in to... I'm somewhat an enthusiast when it comes to gaming...

No I am not a blood runner , I work 24/7 shifts for the National Blood Issuing Department in Cambridge.  Still being shafted behind closed doors by this government but like many of my colleagues still dedicated to getting the blood to the patient ASAP.  Hopefully we will not ever need it but if we do we will do our upmost to get it to everyone quickly.
PS They may also have carried the blood for Zippywight's daughter :thumbup

Came back to the UK and fell into a job delivering brand new Aston Martins  :eek


Left there to take a job as Sales Director for an avionics company providing dynamic operational meteorology :rolleyes
( all avionics foccers NB as I can still arrange demos, trials etc !!!!)


Now mainly a part time Lock Keeper ( cock leeper?) at Shepperton which pays foc-all except huge job satisfaction.


I have been lucky enough to never need to stick at any job which I didn't enjoy.

On my own I run a small aviation services business - eg hiring out my helicopter to people who want to fly it and doing a bit of crew work on the side - with the exorbitant maintenance costs I get hit with it looks like a couple of the foccers who've already posted here are going to be my new best friends  :)

Went to university to study Model Design and Special Effects (yes that was an actual course). Finished up as an architectural model maker till I got made redundant when the recession hit.
Became a duct fitter on multi-million pound hotel projects all over the country, then jacked it in to become an apprentice pattern-maker. I'd had enough of cold sites in the winter.
Now I just make patterns for engine blocks and the like. Loving it :-)

Thanks Nick, for the nice comments.
Yes, of course we'll do discount for FOCcers - 10% off our usual cheap rates, making it 18 Euros (£15!) including breakfast and garage parking!
Be good to see you and other FOCers over. Maybe we should have a Euro meet, though the annual one from the German forum is just down the road.

Unfazed..I see your a telecoms man.....if you ever worked for bt its a good bet you've sat on one of my chairs, hope its not one of the collapsing type...we did have a big problem with the chairs and a few years ago I visited all the bt sites in GB...one I remember was thurso on the north coast of scotland, iam in south bucks.all that way to repair 3 chairs, an hours work    :eek
Not for BT, with Eircom, but worked with them for many years in the eighties from across the pond in Dublin, all through the changes from Government owned to Privatisation. Trained a lot of BT staff over the years too. Most were all ways good for a laugh :)

Assuming you are referring to Star Wars which first came out in 1977, you are now 64, which would have made you 27 at the time and assuming you had your son at 17, would have made him 10 years old..... No wonder you're proud....he was a child genius.  :lol :pokefun

I've done 13 years in the ambulance service, 10 of those as a paramedic. I worked Manchester south and east for 11 years, now I've relocated, taken semi retirement and look after two rural ambulance stations in Lancashire, Clitheroe and Barnoldswick. Some ace biking roads on my patch, A59, A65 etc etc. So if you're in that neck of the woods and see some knobhead in a yellow van nodding at you it's probably me, wishing I was on my  :faz

Gamekeeper


Long unsociable hours,no days off including Saturdays and Sundays from July till February, can be hard graft.
Wouldn't swap it for anything.


I get to play with lots of equipment, night vision, thermal imaging, quads, argo cats etc.


Met a lot of nice people from successful business people, sports personalities, rock stars.


The picture shows a bit of my office  :D
