    what courses could I have taken that would be relevant to the post?


    some things I have done are:

    Orange belt in Karate

    Pediatric first aid/first aid (dont think they are current now)

    It's easier to refresh skills than to start from scratch.
    PADI certificate

    Means you can swim - unlike some of them... :rolleyes:
    loads and LOADS of selling and makeup courses (excuse me sir, would you pick up that litter, and may I suggest this lovely mascara to emphasise your eyes?)

    You can get on well with people and persuade them [STRIKE]that lipstick will stop them looking like a goat[/STRIKE] they are best off doing as you say...
    I have a current CRB check


    It asks if I have any 'convictions or cautions'-is my CCJ a conviction?

    No, it isn't.

    jobseekers allowance not paying well enough for tshirts?!

    It's the high-waistband "Simon Cowel" signature underwear that's wiped out their budget...

    Unfortunately "famous" people play havoc with my "friend recognition system".

    Half of me wants to go and greet them because I recognise them - half of me wants to avoid them and that I've never spoken to them before in my life and eventually the middle bit realises "They're only off the bloody telly - they're not important..."
