I worked backstage on the remake of the film "Memphis Belle" and all the "FX" crew had T-shirts with the caption, "**** the dialogue, let's blow something up!"

:)

We did a first year course on explosives, it's almost worrying how simple to produce some are. I'm pretty sure most ladies' bathrooms would have enough stuff in them to produce the explosive used in the most recent terrorist attack on London.
 
As it says on my profile, I´m an ex professional principal horn player, with spells in the Hallé, and CBSO, before landing permanently in Denmark, where pay, working conditions and just general day to day treatment, were, and still are, considerably better than in good old England, which unfortunately has an unenviable reputation for continually undervaluing its artists, whether they be actors, musicians or whatever, despite them being amongst the best in the world.
 
retired electronics technician, trained in the RAF and then working in Africa and the Middle East. retired to the Far East at 40 then returned to UK when my daughter was born. installed electric heating systems from then on.
 
Good thread BHW. It's so long since I worked, I can't now remember what I did. My current occupation is telling others to calm down! <ok>

Jolly Rogers cookbook style stuff. At work I get to find out some odd stuff one of my favourites is Sodium Nitrate, the preservative found in cured meat is used in dynamite! Obviously I don't think of this when tucking into a Pepperoni Pizza or eating a Bacon Sarnie.
 
I'm a mental health worker/manager; have been a lecturer in Mental Health/Social Work Practice at UEA and City College. Am currently responsible for Practice Development in a largish mental health voluntary organisation in East Anglia. Oh and I once sold wine and beer with rude names in the 'Harrods of Norfolk' in Holt.
