A (fiction) novelist or a poet? And self publishing on amazon don't count!

From the limited number of photos people are brave enough to post, I'm pretty sure there are no models either!

Career criminals currently between jobs, residing at his majesty's pleasure?

Any Assassins in the house? Or shepherds?

Not an assassin (unless you are a sheep), but definitely a shepherd for the past 23 years.

We do have a member who holds a car racing licence.

I like all the regular doctors and scientists on here who have been so helpful over the years. My favourite being: Dr. Daren Austin OBE

Am I the only 'soft furnisher' ?

When I worked with sheep,  I definitely had the urge to assassinate the .,,,,.s, but then again sheep really don't need a lot of help when it comes to leaving the Mortal Coil.

High court judges? 

There are probably a few lawyers and the odd barrister... According to wiki there are 108 in the UK

F1 driver?

Probably not, but some who think they should be.

We had SmurfMat who IIRC claimed he taught Lewis Hamilton all he knew and was banned from racing F1 for being too good.

Unsurprisingly he got more and more upset no one would believe him and finally flounced.

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

Yep, same guy. Probably also designed the BMW engine and suspension single handeldly.

True - I don't think a Tory MP would last 5 minutes on here once outed!

I've worked as a shepard as a 'break' from being a geologist.  Sadly not a volcanologist.

I used to go running in a group that occasionally included MP's. Never a PM tho'.

I've also been out climbing with a part time adult actress.

To be fair to @bunnyhop, I did fail the chicken sexing exam. 🤣. And definitely not a model. Not even a hand model for a medical text book.

To be fair, you're unlikely to be a hand model if you can't tell a hen from a cock.

In a previous life I was a driver/security for a number of female adult entertainers. <br /><br />

It was deeply unglamorous and mostly involved working men's clubs in the Welsh valleys

And I don’t think I’ve seen a Chicken Sexer

I’m going to regret this……

In my youth I worked at the local Turkey farm. In addition to eggs & feeding, we also had to “milk” the male turkeys & inseminate the females with it. 🙈

In the days of Jamie Oliver’s School dinner crusade I was known as The Turkey Twizzler!

Snake catcher

I caught lizards for a job after uni for a bit. Accidentally caught an adder once.

I’m still around, and still doing what I do. I just haven’t posted much in the last year because, well… life.

My holiday jobs have included working in an art gallery, tarmacing and blowing up pressure cookers to test the various safety devices.

I remember Mike Edwards was guest DJ at the Drum Club one week in the early 1990s, played a pretty decent set of lighter acid techno IIRC.

But his real claim to fame is having Info Freako featured in the greatest MTB movie of all time (Earthed 5).

Any chance we have an NBA legend as a member?

I dated a woman who worked at one of the larger chicken processing plants in the south Midlands, she could tell the sex of a chicken.

Any horse willy washers here?

OH was a stable maid briefly. I don't recall her mentioning willy washing but she did mention applying vaseline to stallions' cocks.

We have 2 geologists that turned to shepherds?

What are the odds of that!

Is there a connection between sheep and rocks? Apart from brainpower?

Not quite serial killer, and I'm sure how much he was on here but he was certainly a MTBer, definitely "friends of forum regulars" guy who killed his wife about 5 years ago and is currently doing 20 years for it.

As a professional pedant, I feel I should point out that serial killing is more of a hobby than a profession.

Notoriously difficult to monetise.

Not sure if that's still true in the age of youtube, TikTok, etc...

I'd have thought you could probably say the same about pedantry, but defer to chakaping's professed expertise on the matter. How well does it pay?

Well my branch of professional pedantry is journalism / content writing & editing, so it doesn't pay too great.

And people who don't really understand your job are trying to replace you with AI.
