I run Argos in Grantham. Sounds dull and it is pretty dull but the store took ?5.5million pounds last year. Not bad for a little store.

Job may sound glamourous but it doesnt really pay well, there isnt a lot of money in engineering compared to something like retail. *smiley*

I do Escorting every now and then as the pay is great (roped in by a friend as a laugh and just carried on doing it). It's not that great, it's not frequent enough to live off and it's not all hot female customers, some are right old bags.

And other times I do boring computer work for my brother's Computer company, the work really is boring and I hate doing it but I need the money. I'm also currently looking for one proper job that I'll enjoy in the MotorSport trade so if anybody knows of any vacancies please let me know?

Jim, It's actually virtual NDIS drivers for Windows, allows modems to appear like a NIC - so we interface to all sorts of stuff like Sierra Wireless, Nokia as well as WLAN cards. Also adds things like VPN, encryption, device switching (use GPRS when out of WLAN coverage), call management, etc. PPP and VPN servers as well.
