Do you design them too?
That's where the lottery win comes in!hehe

No I'm a restorer. Most watchmakers these days go straight into the service centres for the big Swiss factories. I, in my young romanticism, chose restoration as it involved learning all of the techniques and part making, etc that inspires you as a student.

My friends envy me for the variety of work I do and I envy them for their job security, pension, and work on watches that arent burned out!

That was my job! I assure you it is not the best job in the world by quite a long way!

Personally I think my previous job as engineer on LNG carriers/ ULCC oil tankers took some beating!
KLPS never looked like that wink

I'd be happy with just the driving awesome cars all day long minus the presenting. 😀

Fast jet pilot x1000. Also preferably Fleet Air Arm, as who doesn't want to land on an aicraft carrier in the middle of some ocean.

has to be middle east government. loads of cash, as much graft as you like, nothing in your job description which could be classed as work, can't get voted out.

always used to think that Gloria Honniford had a cracking job back in the day. Ditto for Clarkson, Hammond, May & even that ginger twunt. But all those pale besides this job...

I think someone once did post online "I would crawl over broken glass to hear her fart through a walkie-talkie."

My job people always say "Must be the best job in the world" it's not, far too many hotels & weeks away, get to see some cool places occasionally. Get to drive almost all of the best (& worst) the car manufacturing world can throw at you though. If I got paid in Kudos I'd be a winner, the pay is variable & has absolutely no bearing on the value of the cars your driving £15k to £500k it makes little difference.

Job description is usually best described as an "Automotive Industry Stig" little glamour, licence risking & some of the worlds worst drivers trying to kill you on a regular basis. Still it's better than commuting & being stuck in an office staring at a computer screen & arguing over the temperature of the air con hehe

Sometimes it also involves playing with these lovely things, which at least makes up for the occasional boring days!

I always thought "curing" Lesbians would be a great job, and I don't mean putting them a huge jar of vinegar.

It's a win win job - fail and you've still had a lot of fun trying....
But if you fail - a lot - that would get you down surely? It's not exactly a ringing endorsement - I mean if you were so-so with heterosexual women, one who isn't interested in men would be seriously un-impressed....

Problem is these jobs all have a downside don't they?

F1 Driver - for 8 months of the year yo can only eat what the nutritionist says, can't go out on the lash, can't go to your best mates wedding.

Spend most of that time living in hotels in some horrible st holes.

When you are at work your body is on the edge - you come in from a race pissing blood and knackered.

And then you have to sit with a sponsor and talk st to them.

And then Eddie Irvine will want to talk to you.

And at the end of every year you worry about getting a drive the next one.


Fun for a season but like any job it'll grate on them eventually wink



Fast jet pilot?

Living in dodgy on base housing. risk of death.

You black out when you go upside down.

You might have to go and live in a tent in a desert hell hole.



Sometimes The bloke down the pub looks happiest - goes to work, does some plastering, comes back to the pub for a couple with his mates, goes home to the bird he knocked up when she was 17 and see's his kids.

Of course every morning he wakes up and wishes he was a fast jet pilot or could drive an F1 car.
