F1 driver? Probably not, but some who think they should be.

There was someone who thought they were at least as good as one…

Plenty of us are very grateful for what I think/recall you’ve been up to professionally over the last few years.  🙂

I’ll second that!

Vulcanologist. There's not much wifi near a volcano and bikes won't outrun pyroclastic flow.

Another good one. 👍

Also, it reminded me of that bloke attempting to set some record years back, riding an MTB down Mount Fuji... until the front end of the bike suffered a catastrophic failure.

Snake catcher<br /><br />

I’ve caught snakes before.

F1 Driver

I’d be surprised if Mark Webber hasn’t browsed this place before.

I have a pretty niche job, I’m a viticulturist, be surprised if there’s another on here.

RN Submarine skipper??

My dad (still at 82) works for the BBC. Has Been a program director/producer for local BBC as long as I can remember. My, and my sister's, claim to fame - whenever Pebble Mill needed children for features on, e.g., garden toys, clothes, pushchairs etc. we'd be the children, or at least some of them! Aged 16 I also got absolutely p1ssed in the BBC Newcastle bar with Mike Neville...my dad was not impressed. 😂

Any horse willy washers here?  (Not willy wavers, willy washers.)

It's a thing apparently, presumably also a fair chance of getting kicked in the process!

Pro chess player? Professional go player. Sumo wrestler. Geisha. Noh actor.

Anything there's only a handful of in the English-speaking world, basically.

Not a Taxidermist but have skinned loads of beasts of various types

Not an actor or a rock star, but did have a part in a Robert Plant videos back in the 80's

Not a horse whisperer but have broken a couple of horses in from non-ridden to rideable

Not a chicken trainer but I can fool them into falling asleep whenever I want (good party trick if you have a chicken to play with!)

Other wierd jobs I do.

Often found giving a quick Back, Sack, and Crack trim to my ram lambs.

I have tried my hand at artificial insemination and got my favourite cow up the duff.

Whoever they are, and whatever they do, to whatever level of international recognition -  an argumentative regular poster will appear on the thread within just a few posts to explain to them just how incorrect they are!

Serial killer isn’t a profession so we don’t need one of those.

There must loads of geologists in here. Some of them must do volcanoes

There are definitely several geologists on here.

I know a volcanologist (a prof no less) who rides MTBs in N. Wales. Not sure if he’s on here though.

Doesn’t a vulcanologist study rubber? In which case, this place is full of tyre pedants.

Vulcanologist

Son2 is a volcanologist. Studying for a PhD, and off to the Galápagos Islands today. His masters was up a volcano collecting samples just before the village was destroyed by pyroclastic flow. he rides black runs with very little practice! What’s risk?

I'm a geologist. But soft rock structures rather than igneous stuff. There was once a time that if you wanted to drill for oil in NE Tunisia I was the man to tell you where. But that was in a former life so don't ask me now. Funnily enough I read a couple of 30 year old scientific papers I wrote the other day. I didn't understand a word of them. Funny how the human mind works.

Ooops, true. Explodingmountainologist is better though (buys a dictionary).

That's pretty darn cool. Edit: I kinda imagine Galapagos in Ray Harryhausen terms.

Do I remember correctly that Guy Martin has a login, but never posts?

Probably looked in once and felt this place was too full of nutcases.

F1 driver?

Saw Mark Webber at Mountain mayhem back in the day.

There's a cycling glamour model on Twitter. Followed her for the cycling pics and she DM'd me saying that for a small fee she'd send me some bum sex photos!

I won't embarrass them but one or two genuinely are, by seeking election or by other means.👍

Probably not, but some who think they should be.

Who was the BMW boy (Mike?) who flounced a few years ago? Reconned he was the dogs danglies when it came to driving stuff...

<edit> you know when you think of something, can't recall then stop thinking about it and it comes to you? Surfmat... As Clive Anderson might say: Les Tosseurs...

<edit2>

In which case, this place is full of tyre pedants

Not to be confused with: full of people tired of pedants... 🙃

I stood chatting next to him in the handover pit, I didn't have a clue who he was till my mate came in and said that was Mark Webber. I've never been any good with faces or names.

I did see Guy Martin in the Gateshead branch of Evans once.

I’m featuring (probably briefly) in a show for Netflix this Thursday, that is we are filming on Thursday not broadcasting.

Never made it anywhere near RN submarine skipper, but my first Captain was an heir to the Gordon’s gin empire so was the story onboard anyway, lovely guy who made fishing flies whilst we were at sea. Also a mate once rang the Capt ( who was a commander) and referred to him as skipper and was given the reply ‘this is a ****ing submarine not a fishing vessel’

Mark Webber used to been seen occasionally at Woburn as it's a stones throw from Redbull HQ. I saw him once... Well the back of him as he flashed past me up a hill. Only realised it was him when I saw him talking to a load of bikers at the carpark afterwards.

I see no one's owned up to this. I must be the only one.

Any taxi drivers here? I have some questions re. driving habits. Although maybe better posted in the disproportionate anger thread...

Vicar?

Pretty sure there’s a church leader on here, though I forget the actual religion.

We do indeed.  quite a senior chap as well I think.
