Alternative Career
As one career is coming to its end, I started to think what other things I might do, in case the plans to become an internet magnate don't unfold as quickly as I expect. The advert below on exec-appointments.com caught my eye. I have no special forces experience but I can drive an Aston-Martin, and I quite like the idea of being a "Targeting Officer." In fact I can think of one or two potential targets already...

I'd love to be a spy... if you get the job you can hire me as your Australian point man? 0069 Licenced to ......
@bambam - Why do I get the impression that the appeal for you is less the behind the scenes shafting of enemy plans, and more the behind closed doors shafting of enemy spies...?
They're looking for tarmac layers for the M 16? - excellent - I reckon you might stand a chance.
@DP - I think I might be more of a digger, DP. Laying tarmac (or, in fact, laying anything) sounds more up bambam's street.
I could do that!! Seriously I could. Who would ever suspect me to be a secret agent
When is the closing date & why are these jobs always London? tsk
(your word verif has also provided me with a secret pseudonym 'Dalingr'... secret agent Dalingr ... I like it .. oops it's not secret anymore doh!)
@70s - I think you'd make a great agent. I can just imagine you sidling up to Roger Moore in the Spy Who Loved Me... :-)
p.s. dalingr.com is one of the few remaining .com domains. Suggest you grab it now!!!
ooo can I have Daniel Craig instead ;-)
@70s - danielcraig.com is taken I am afraid. Or did you mean... ah, yes, well, I'll ask him and see what he says.
ha ha as much as Dan Craig PhD in the makng maybe a lovely man .... I would prefer that you drop my name in with the other more famous version ;-)
@70s - Are you sure 70s? That's a, err, helluva smile he's got. I've been to Seoul and can't say I'd recommend it, but I am sure it would be a fascinating experience.
OK, I'll have a look in the phone book for the other one, then...
Mr S I think you may have stumbled on yet another alternative career.... ;-)
(gosh I so love your word verif's as they are words not jumbled up 'dimwappy')
@70s - How extraordinary. By an almost incalculable coincidence that was my nickname at school.
lol Mr Dimwappy it is then!!
think it's best we keep that one to ourselves :-D
All resignations are cancelled.
@UDH - I don't think you ever get to 'resign' from MI6.
Anyway, who's resigning? Only thing I'm resigned to is another few days of dithering...
Believe it or not, I actually checked out a similar ad for MI6 about a year ago, again, looking for employment in case my internet fripperies failed.
In my application, I requested a gorgeous-babes quota to be added to the job description but the snooty bastards didn't even bother to reply.
No wonder the country's going down the drain.

@laog - I think the problem is not that they didn't want to give you the job, rather the difficulty with sourcing the bevvy of gorgeous babes... since the capitalisation of the former Soviet block, all the hot chicks that used to fill the ranks of the counter-espionage brigades are now working as lap dancers in Newcastle. It's a sorry state of affairs for would-be under-cover agents.
'my name's Nambulist, Som Nambulist' just doesn't have the right ring to it. 'Wappy. Dim Wappy' is better, for an alternative chinese take-out delivery kind of Bond. Extra prawn crackers, please.
(my word verification starts with bum... better than ending with it, I guess)
@lynne - Wappy, Dim Wappy it is. Sounds a bit like the start of a rock n roll song (..dim, wappy wappy, do :-)
(nice pic!)
Newcastle here I come-ski!
