		Currently I just mince about for a living...  
 
I should be an AV/Warehouse Technician - I test equipment in off hire, PAT test it, get it ready to go out, then sometimes when I'm allowed out on day release, set it up at the venue.

		Well i can trump all of you, ive got one of the most glamorous jobs going........ 
.......not really, I collect medical waste and dog shit. Yummy.
 
Hopefully gonna be handing my notice in soon though, and going back to building for a company called W.S. Wright, who maintain and renovate pubs/clubs all around the south-east of england.
 
 
Having said that  I collect medical waste, i guess i mean that my teammate gets the good job, and i do the driving.

		I trained for 3 years and qualified as a mechanic.. 
I work at Adrian Flux in the specialist vehicles department so I insure anything thats not the every day run of the mill car, & anything modified really!
 
EDIT before i get 6000 pm's asking for cheap insurance.. no i cant get amazing discounts or free insurance for people, i can quote you but it'll be the same price anyone else from flux will quote you! If you say you are a member of 306 owners club you will get a discount though!
