Not for love or money

I used to work downwind of one. You certainly knew when they were having a clear out.

But think of the perks - add free (I presume) saving £9 per year!

Most of you have probably seen Dirty Jobs , so definitely not a TV presenter.

I don't know which is worse, ads or your bike in front of xyz threads unless it's my bike of course!!🤣🤣🤣

Presenter on a TV roulette show. I think I'd rather clean toilets than do a mind numbing job like that, at least you don't have to do it in front of a camera, and look cheerful whilst you;re doing it.

Oh come on, who wouldn't this as their workplace...?

If you make a bad mistake at 1700 feet, you have about 13 seconds to consider why your choice of job might not have been wise. After that, it doesn't matter.

Bomb Disposal Officer

As seen at St. James, Leeds, Friday.

We had one in the town centre. The summer of 76 wasn't for the faint hearted, or those with a weak constitution.

Bomb Disposal Officer

My dad was in bomb disposal in WWII...

(I colourised that from an old black & white picture that I restored for my mum after he died.)

Here is one of him with a comrade at the bottom of a hole which they had just dug down to a UXB.

I asked him why he volunteered for that. He said that he preferred the risk of sudden death to the risk of being badly injured or killed in combat.

After D-day he ended up being in the thick of it anyway - being shot at while trying to build temporary bridges, that kind of thing. One of his friends standing just a few feet from him was killed by a sniper.

I would not fancy bomb disposal either, but I'd be less scared of that than combat.

I get vertigo just watching people at heights on the TV .

Would those hand/foot holds hold if they were to fall?

I'll let you go up there to check!

I'll go if they let me, but I'll want two connection points for the fall arrest equipment.

I think it is another example of 'n + 1'.

(In this case, where 'n' is the number of available connection points! )
