    Of course, where the real easy money is these days is being a 'celebrity'. Time for a Cookiemonster revival perhaps? You just need to get yourself on some random tat 'reality' show and you'd be sorted. Actually, aren't they advertising for the next Big Brother at the mo?

    Frankly I'd rather be a road sweeper but there you go...

    Similarly i could just shoot someone. Not much money in it, but not many bills to pay either.

    If i processed my victims into cookie dough, it would probably make good material for a bestseller as well.

    Shooting a celebrity would be even better, for both your own profile and the fact there'd be one less celebrity around for the rest of us to put up with. Let us know and we could hold some sort of poll for the most deserving candidate :D.

    Sell up, move to a country with a significantly lower cost of living, maybe an x colony, take your Teaching English as a Foreign Language exam and live happily ever after without the need to ever consume westernised materialistic goods again.:D

    Start on that vacuous waste of space, the fabulous human Zeppelin - Jordan. A bigger waste of space bad example for a woman I've yet to see...

    New series of Black Books starts on March 11th so not too long to wait! When are they going to bring out the second series on DVD is what I want to know?

    As for jobs, yeah, banks take on people with/without qualifications, the training is usually pretty good and you can earn relatively good money for a hassle free job where you don't have to take work home with you.

    I'd only fancy being a bank cashier if I could take the work home with me.

    Cookie -

    I saw a post by you saying ''sales makes no money'' .. sorry old chap, but selling what/where?

    The most successfull salesman in my company earns in excess of 100k per year... the least successfull 20k - qualifications not needed, just a proven track record of success in sales.

    My first job in life was working as a salesman in a shop. I picked a good industry, and earned 16-20k... I had a degree, but you didnt need qualifications to do it.

    I moved from business to consumer, to business to business sales..and have just started my 3rd business to business sales position.

    B to B has proved to be a more lucrative type of selling, the industry itself dictates a lot of the earning potential.

    I can think of no better job type than ''sales'' (industry dependant again) to gain high income without qualifications. Whether HE CAN SELL? is another question though!

    Good luck to him anyway.
    Cheers
    Chris

    Sorry it's taken a while to respond - too busy smoking and drinking to hang around here...Anyway, Black Sabbath were originally called Polka Tulk, then changed to Earth, before finally deciding on Black Sabbath.

    Providing drunken lifestyle guidance through clouds of smoke for all those who will (foolishly) listen. The advice is given in the form of a song(normally something by Monty Python), hence me claiming music as one of my skills, although I can't actually play an instrument.

    No, Bob, I'm not, though I think we may have met - have you ever sold an LP12 to a rather mad looking fellow who'd come on holiday to collect it?
