    Yeah, I had kidney problem which was more serious than diagnosed and as such I was peeing out all the proteins that break down cholestrol which caused it to build up. The fact it happened at Wham game was purely coincidental ... although hearing the stadium announcer declare Carlton Cole to be MotM would trigger even the healthiest hearts into declining

    I currently run a web design company, and in the past I did 10 years as a supermarket nightshift manager down south for Sainsbury's / Tesco / Asda (the last two were horrible companies to work for), ran a furniture shop in Scotland for 7 years, and even spent a few years flogging double-glazing on commission only in the Midlands and Cheshire.

    The current job is me starting again from scratch (again). Keep making my money and then losing it all through being a daft bugger in relationships. Got a cat now instead so hopefully if she leaves she wont cost too much!

    Thought it was about time I contributed something instead of having a good laugh reading all the other posts and this seemed a good thread to start with.

    I run a Geological Consulting Company in Jakarta. Been doing this type of work ever since I finished my MSc in Newcastle in 1980 where I got into the habit of watching Newcastle play, and have lived around the world (Wales, USA, Peru, Indonesia) since then. Spend most of my time here in Indonesia. Also have a home in Manchester but spend no more than 90days a year there (if the tax man is reading!).

    Try and get up to watch Newcastle play when home (all before Xmas last year so 2 wins in 3 games watched). Fortunately most of the games on live here so will be watching this weekend.

    Wow some really interesting and varied careers on this board. Not quite sure what I was expecting really.

    I am a team leader in HR department, for a large financial company. Not the most exciting job on this thread by any means, but a decent place to work anyway. Before that I was a civil servant (and it was really ****)
