Who's had the most Jobs...

[Shab]

...Or the weirdest, best or worst?

Since I was old enough to have hair on my tockers, jobs I've had include, and in no particular order:

Forme Maker
Busker
Screen Printer
Signwriter
Session Musician
Musical advisor to "Emerdale Farm"
Mobile Squash Court erector [for championships]
Barn Painter
Runway markings whiteliner
Furniture Mover
Extruded plastics machine operator
Stock Controller
Bowling Club Manager [Crown Green]
Barman/Bar Manager
Reggae Club Manager [and yes, I was the only whiteboy in the club!]
PC Engineer
Network engineer
Relief Pub Manager
House Renovator
Made those promotional fluffy things with ribbons on them
Infrastructure Manager
Tech Ops Manager
Ops Manager
Managing Director
IT Consultant
Part-time looking after my wifes shop person...

Can't think of anymore but I'm sure there must be...

Best one was working on Emmerdale. To cut a very long story short, I had to teach one of the characters, Archie, who I shared a house with at the time [in real life, not on the show!], to mime playing a bass riff for a"village Band" he was playing with in the "village Hall". The song was pre-recorded and the band, who were actually real [except Archie] played along
with it a'la TOTP's. Great money, great laugh and a free bar tab at the hotel at the end of
the day...

Shab.
