what do you do?

what do you all do besides SDF related stuff?
this thread was originally Al's idea, to advertise your day job so we can perhaps help each other out with other things also! looking to hire a builder? im sure there is one around here somewhere!

when im not training, and moderating this forum, im a chef. i also do some web design in my spare time (hence the look of this place)

how about you guys?

When I am not training SDF, which is my day job now
I am ex IT bod, who knows his way around a computer as I used to build them etc. also loads of office qualifications, office management, etc etc. and to top it off im training in sports nutrition and sports psychology also in my spare time, ( whatever that is ).

I'm a chef too. I train in SDF once a week. I go to the gym on my split shifts for cardio and weights. I spend the rest of my time with my family
otherwise I'd never see them.

I plaster..... I plaster well...... I plaster really well!
Mick Tully .......making the world a better place..... One wall at a time! X

I've just graduated from my Computing and IT BSc(Hons) degree and at the moment i'm taking a year out and just working the doors to pay things called bills. I'm moving to newcastle on thursday so can start looking for a 9-5 day job.

Im a Logistics Manager for a demolition company in Birmingham. Was a site manager for the same firm 18 months ago but got the promotion.

Doing the course to get sia badge so I can do some door work as well.

Hi guys.I dont have as grand a job as some of you guys, but i work in a sport shop as my main job, i also do some dog grooming and gardening.

I'm an engineer by trade, design engineer to be precise. Some notable achievements include designing the wheels and brakes for the Eurofighter aircraft, some gearbox design for Porsche and VW. I now work for Red Bull Racing - Formula 1 team, overseeing all things IT/CAD related in their Design Office.

I am also a Domestic electrician (although I have let my registrations slip over the past year) and Property Developer.

Oh, and a landlord - hoping thats going to pay off in about 30 years time!!

And now moving more and more into full time Self Protection Instruction.

Mr Tully is without doubt the best plasterer on the planet!

Outside of work, when I’m not getting punched in the face, I’m a musician. My album is out through iTunes, but don’t bother, its miserable as shit.

Outside of that, I mostly drink.

Michael,

Send us a link to your album mate

its more of a record of my progress than anything else, but at least they go from worse to bad

Hi Rick,

I'm on my tod I'm afraid mate and have to play everything, so I play guitar, piano, bass, drums and sing.

If you want to hear a few tunes then there are 3 full songs on the myspace page:

Al, I can't access iTunes at work mate so don't have the link to hand, but I'm pretty sure its on the myspace page.

Anyone else out there a musician? We could start an SDF Band!

What a top idea - perhaps thats another thread for potential song titles

Hit me with your Kali Stick
Eye of the Tiger Claw

The list is endless - but why spoil the fun - :-)

Hey Guys,

"Anyone else out there a musician?"

Er, well, no - I'm a drummer!! (thought I'd get that in first...
:-P )

I can't say I've played properly for a while, too damn noisy!! But, I did once upon a time gig/record consistently for 10yrs in a coupla half-decent rock bands

How do I audition for this virtual band then?

Paul Hill - the legend.

Audition done, you're in.

Need a roadie chaps?

no but we need some groupies

ps. ther is an online jamroom for musicians over on http://gearscore.com (where im also a moderator )

I'm a traditional cobbler which I fit in between training. Usual puns like 'let me save your sole' and 'mine's a big Mac' welcome if not novel!!

On song ideas what bout, 'Don't I know you', by Tony Somers, Pop go the weasel, by Mr T or Kick this by the other Mr T!!!

LOL

I am a gardener, have been for about 10 years, went to college and got the qualification. I was the oldest student! Talk to the plants on a daily basis and until my joints give out I will continue driving the plants nuts and trying to mowe in straight lines!!!

Hey guys
i was lead singer with a band called "eamon & the fibreoptics" in the late '80s
none of us were called eamon.... It was based on the fact our "mate" had a fibre optic camera inserted into a body cavity to check a bowel complaint....and it summed up our music quite well too! X

i am a plasterer ...

and i'm better than Mick

i have heard he gives each customer a complimentry bag of filler

Harness the rage mick...harness the rage...sorry that was supposed to be an internal dialogue!

i heard that they call your finish corduroy....hahahahaha

plasterers....do anything you want to them...just don't dare call their work!

mick x
