I design and install bespoke high end home cinemas as well as whole house automation / audio / video distribution systems. Its always been a hobby so i love it smile
Never one to miss out on an opportunity, do you install "home networks" ? (I dont mean just IT, but a hub that distributes multiple TV/Sat/DAB/ADSL). Its something we're looking at developing to compliment our existing range and would welcome some views from someone who installs our rival's products.

Or perhaps you'd be interested in a modular media distribution system?

Job title will mean nothing so in a nutshell I plan what 2 chocolate factory's make and shout at them when they don't make what I asked for !!

And spare time is spent tinkering with the car but that will have to wait as my first property looms.

Why would you want to do that? There has got to be a kinder way to make a living.

What goes around comes around.
Its tradition and they are rife and a nuisance to the natural wildlife much like yours truly but I find it difficult hunting myself as my brain hurts.

Plus they're usually shot with rifles and die pretty quickly. I would assume also that they are then eaten, so it's not merely killing for fun!
