What do I do for a living? As BJ (where is BJ these days? ) once described it, "I safeguard the nation's breasts"   '> Hidden talents - I'm flippin' excellent on a balance board, rubbish on a unicycle, and I can cook the best chilli this side of Mexico   '>

This side of Mexico??? Do you use beans???  Then its not REAL chili!!!!


Come speak to a Texan and we will speak chili!   '>  '>

Seriously though, if you do a chili cookoff in the great state of TX and you have beans in it - immediate disqualification!

Will whip up a batch soon... any requests??? Starts at three alarm, goes to five alarm and then its OMFG (my entire body is on fire) alarm (stuff makes you sweat smelling it).

Living:
Network and Security Consultant for major company

Hidden Talents:

Licensed Chef, ex pro photographer, ex-building contractor (own business in the US-SOLD), and shade tree mechanic.  There was mention of others but too shy to state

As little as possible but my boss thinks I run an Outdoor Education Centre, teaching people to sail and kayak, etc. Good thing is... after 27 years, even my mum has stopped asking me when I'm going to get a proper job.

Ooo Ooo i think I know where you work!  

As for me, I love a challenge, so had my fingers in all kinds of pies over the years.  

PA to directors/managers, Sales & marketing supervisor, courier, black tie waitress   (which i kinda enjoyed...plenty of flirtying you see lol), data entry for Fedex, mystery shopper in supermarkets, ran a toddlers play group, Admin Assistant for a crappy new build company in Enfield Avon rep, and taster/sampler for a major supermarket with head office based in Herts!

Hidden talents:

Good with kids, brill organiser when i want to be, good cook, good driver and fiercely loyal to friends!

Scorps/Tallguy can u put a disc back into place and release a trapped Siatic nerve. The bloody Osteopath has cost me £300 already and still can't walk without a silly limp. Don't ask about sitting down can only lie down which is not too much of a problem for me hehehehe.

I can and have though I did chip a tooth in the process.    Note to self. Call ambulance rather than try to self cure and almost pass out in the process.  

Seriously I'm good at massage, big hands and haven't permanently paralised anyone yet.  Have you tried foot massage, I've sent a certain person into orbit with that.

I recomend a mctimoney chiropractor as there is none of this turkish style bone cracking pulling. Mine charges £28 a session and you feel great for about an hour after, long enough to get home before your back realises what has been done. Walk for a mile then lay down and relax for rest of day. Next day feel great. Not so easy when you single and nobody to fetch and carry for you though.  

Went through a stage when I was only comfortable when sat on bike. Couldn't drive or sit in a chair.
