Sigh. So, despite that, how much more DID you bid?

Nothing. . Still a while to run, but i keep reloading page just in case. If i don't get it i don't. Already bidding more than should so not gonna bid more.

Woman of my word.

Well, you could .... but law of averages says they'd not care.

I think there are a couple. Most people, though, are sold a dream that doesn't exist.

An interesting job would be sitting and thinking of random stuff and jotting notes about it. A bit like here... but paid oodles.

Hahaha won. The other fella's ceiling price must have been somewhere below rhe round number i bid £1.26 over.

Chuffed.


Geez, hope its nice now when it arrives. I seem to get that disappointed 'oh' a lot of the time when things arrive

I think my job is interesting. Well, it interests me, anyway. Not all of it, of course, but quite a lot of it. No idea whether it would interest anybody to read about it, though.

My dad certainly found his job interesting - as evidenced by his continuing to do it for free for 20-odd years after he retired from being paid to do it. The vast majority of the population (including me) wouldn't understand enough about it to find it interesting, though.

One of my brothers thinks his job is interesting, one feels his has never been as satisfying as he hoped it would be, and wonders if he should have done something else, and I've never asked the other brother.

I find my library job fascinating even though it is about the worst paid job I've ever had.

What I've realised as I've got older is that people want a "well paid, interesting job", but often the best paid jobs aren't the most interesting. Prior to the library I hadn't needed to work with the public since working in a shop while in the sixth form. You can't beat working with the public for a slice of variety. I enjoy my other work as it pays very well and it's interesting but hard to do in long tranches due to level of concentration involved.

Yup: What South American city is named from a phrase meaning River of January. The guy looked confused but claimed the only city he knew was Rio so I presumed he was having a laugh!:cool:

I just caught the last question for the girl to win the lot.

If she had picked me as "fone a friend" she'd be quids in

Just seen the torch go through my parents local town. I gess I will take the kids to see it here as it is only the end of the road but I can't really say that I am in to all this Olympic thang. Sadly no sign of a rental for my house so it doesn't look like I will be able to quit the country for the games themselves.

At work we had to say how we would reduce our London travel footprint. I strongly doubt any of mine will carry any Olympic traffic anyway but apparently if I change from tube to train outside central London and then walk from 1 tube station away my journey is completely different and thus scores as being a journey no longer done....

Offer it for the winter olympics, as it's in a ski resort?
