I did consider teaching as a career choice a long time ago (history) but the thought of facing a bunch adolescent hooligans every day was less than enchanting.

Quite how I washed up as an accountant in the Civil Service is beyond me. However, they are nice to me and seem to value my eccentricities (mostly), so I am inclined to stay.

Hobbes: Script writer
Clocker: Civil Rights Lawyer
J2K4: CIA (retired)
J&#39;Pol: Sports journalist
Fugley: Diplomat
Skweeky: International criminial mastermind (Pink Panther)
Lamsey: Student (who turns up for lectures)
Rat Face: Full time Geordie (not an easy job but someone has to do it)

Are you allowed to say which department Biggles, I am staggered that part of the Civil Service can employ one as eloquent as you. I&#39;m guessing not the Inland Revenue, having seen some of their attempts at written communication. [/b][/quote]
I believe it is permissible for me to say MoD but I am not about to do a Claire.

Surprisingly, perhaps, literacy is still valued in many departments and internal communications are often a form of verbal ping pong; some of which are extremely funny (unfortunately, I am not really at liberty to repeat them here).

I am curious as to your daytime activity, given some of your previous remarks I fancied that you may work in the Procurator Fiscal line.
