What i meant is, you have to be 18 to even start the PADI divemaster course. And your only just 18.

I did the whole course until I was 18. Then they sent the papers off. So before i was a divemaster but "in training" now I'm officially one.

jackpotjoy.com - bingo, slots casino, that kind of thing (we're the biggest online bingo site in the UK). Not surprised you've had agency approaches; it feels like every other internet job in the country is gambling-related at the moment.

Yeah, you're very right, all the online poker websites that have just appeared overnight is quite scary! I still don't even know how to play poker :( So with you working in the "bingo industry" do you get to meet a lot of hot older women with bingo wings? ;)

Bargain :D

I wish i had the balls to do any Dm'ing around here. But the water is a ) too fucking cold and b) more than likely turn me into leggy

So i am avoiding it for a while. Which is a shame considering the course cost me an arm and a leg. :(

Not as bad here, but visibility only gets to about 3 feet at the best of times, first 2 metres along the shoreline to get to the dive site is swarming with jellies and I know the two local dive-sites like the back of my hand. Need to go exploring again. Still, when the water is about 30 celcius, you can't really complain :D

Assistant Manager in a nightclub

A-Levels in Computing, Maths and Business Studies. I was doing a BSc in Computing in Plymouth but the second year was shit (and not what I wanted to do in the slightest) and I gradually lost interest. I was working part-time in a nightclub at the time and I decided I wanted to take that further instead of uni.

I'm a fucking idiot sometimes. :(

I am a Solaris systems admin for a large multinational. My job title is "Technical Developer" which means that besides being a BOFH I also do technical project management, design and implementation of systems and some other stuff like testing the internet connection we use.


by the way....for some odd reason Xtro is the only human I'd ever let near me with needles and ink :)
