    Hi mate, no I've never been armed in public but have worked with people who are.

    In France I had a 5 round pump action shotgun but that was on private property. The first round was salt, the next was rubber and the last three were real. My theory was that a salt round in the face would frighten most people, rubber would take care of 99.9% of the rest. If all that failed it would've been a blast to the legs. In reality the sound of the loading slide coming back would scare most people ... it sounded evil.

    I also had a lovely handgun I was given by a friend who'd 'confiscated' it.

    Sadly I had to leave them both behind when I left France, they were like old friends ...

    ... great to knock around with and a great comfort in difficult times :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Me and Mrs Smug had to go the the home of Dame Vivien Duffield, near Monaco ...

    ... the gates were so far from the villa the security were on Segways.

    It looked absolutely mental watching 18 stone monsters zooming up and down the drive!

    Like everything in my life mate, entirely by accident.

    I used to go to Rock City, Nottingham, as a punter and was asked to fill in one night on the stage door. I ended up doing 11 years while we had groups like Oasis, U2, Faith no More, Kings of Leon, etc week after week. I was a big lad then and always in the gym. The club owner, George Akins, paid me extra to do repos, debt collection, house calls, threats, etc.

    I met a gangster who worked security, in the south of France, and went down to see him. I ended up as a bodyguard to people like Britney, Cher, Janet Jackson, etc when they'd come for the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco F1, etc.

    When I was too old Mrs Smug shifted us into looking after property in the south of France, smart move tbh. We've worked for some of the world's richest people without so much as an 11 plus between us <laugh>

    As part of the interview process, for this latest job, I've just been asked to do my first ever enhanced DBS ....

    .... that's the end of that then <doh>

    Well, I guess most of us end up having careers that we never intended to, albeit mines nowhere near as interesting.

    The post above reminds me of when my company were working on a naval base, the head of security (who actually was a lovely bloke) but deadly Seruous gave all the contractors a talk about security levels being high and to be vigilant.

    He accompanied his talk by having to of the base security stood next to him with loaded assault rifles, which he happily pointed out was real ammunition, the chaps holding them had confirmed kills and were authorised to use deadly force.

    We were then treated to a delightful insight into their guard dogs (****ing huge German shepards) with the explicit intructions not to approach them and if you saw one running to stand still

    Well my venture in buying a part share in a racehorse has cost me a fortune due to the horse in question being scared to come out of the stables during daylight hours. It's a nightmare.

    I'm reaching out on behalf of a mate of mine who needs some help.

    His missus asked him to go out and get some of those pills that would help him get an erection.

    When he came back he handed her some diet pills.

    Anyway, he's looking for a place to live.
