What kind of jobs do we all have?

There are so many of us on here interested in photography!  A couple have Canon camera's and I know that Ken Rockwell (a professional photographer) does some reviews of Canon, Nikon and Leica.  He comes across as a little arrogant in his reviews so take them with a pinch of salt but he does comprehensive tests with professional equipment so things like distortion and coma etc of lenses are interesting to note.

From next year on I will change the job, but stay at the same company : I will book hotels, train/flight tickets etc. for our business-travellers.

If you are going to send them to Spain, Valencia area, let me know, many of our hotel customers are this kind of travellers from abroad.

ok, I will keep that in mind. But I

I don't know if you have listened to this, but it could be a day in the bookshop.
The original audio track!

The televised latter version.

My favourite edition, by Monty Pythons audio only.

And one with Cleese and his then wife.


And yes it describes exactly what could happen in a bookshop. 

dmg, thanks for the Rockwell page. Nice one and I never came across it.

Well, I never liked Julia Roberts, but it is fascinating to think that a "beautiful" and young movie star, would accidentally come in the bookstore and after some obligatory (for the length of the movie) twists and turns, will fall for the man behind the counter. Even if that man is Hugh Grant and the bookshop in Notting hill.
Why again Hugh Grant is so successful?

I never understood why - in my opinion he's a bit of a drip!

Mona, I wrote my last post BEFORE I had my first morning coffee... later this day, around lunchtime, it suddenly struck me (don't ask me why) that I had talked about the wrong movie - you meant the one with Tom Hanks of course, which I must have seen a dozen dozen times... and the other one is Notting Hill, a film I also like (I always wondered why the guitar in the score sounded so much MK like but was not from him...)  Tom Hanks is quite cool in You've Got Mail (all scenes where he acts together with Dave Chappelle are great...)
 
(Morning coffee - that's also why I wrote refrigerator wrong, by the way.)

vgonis, thanks a lot for the clips - have not seen them before. You can clearly see (and hear) why John Cleese is the Greatest - the first (audio) sketch is really classic, compared to the acted one with Marty...

Today an elderly woman asked me if this Mrs. Rowling has "written anything else before? How comes they call her one of the greatest writers ever on the blurb - this seems to be her first novel?"  I mentioned Harry P. but did not get glances of recognition.... 

But better leave this bookshop thing now, there are so many other jobs around I am sure...

Hi all!

Well I'm new here, actually I visited the forum on markknopfler.com for 5 years but it dissapeared 

What do I do for a living? I'm pretty close to 'death'. I'm a medic, or a male nurse to be more precise  ... I work in a hospital on a section for elderly, sometimes to make them better but often to guide them to their final stage of life. I work mostly at night from 21 to 7 and I'm fast asleep from 8 to 16 so I'm quite sleepy at the moment ...

Any one who helps people with health issues are the real back-bone of a human society!!

So true! The mirror of society is the way it treats its people. And it is pretty bleak lately.
Welcome Adventurer to the best MK forum!

And a relevant with your profession welcome joke: In Greece we have a saying. The mistakes of the doctors are fixed - buried by the undertaker.

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

I'm currently a student, I study International Business at the university of Groningen.
Next to that I fill the stocks in a supermarket and in another supermarket I'm leading the people who fill the stocks, so you can guess which one I prefer

I guess you prefer to empty them! Oh every job is fine if you like to do it.
