    He doesn't get to take the cars home, and his salary is a lot less. Plus, the presenters driving skills don't have to be as top notch.

    And they sacked him, so now he just walks around telling anyone who will listen "I used to be the Stig".

          I have a vague memory that Marc Clifton did work in that direction. Probably like most things - less exciting when you're doing it that you'd expect. Sigh, another breast... Iain.

              I'm pretty much doing it, quite frankly. Working with really really smart people for a cool company that manufactures communication satellites, and I'm helping to write the software for designing/constructing the satellites. :) Marc

                Fun potential jobs: Body oiler for Salma Hayek. Quality tester at a distillery. Top Gear presenter. Real jobs: Father - that's the best job I've ever had.

                            I know a developer who worked for a strip club. According to him, they don't always pay and the goons they sick on you can be rather intimidating. And he never really got the chance to do on-the-job testing (if you catch my drift). Kinda killed the dream for me. :sigh:

                                    Actually, rather exciting. The people in the industry (we're talking clubs, not movie production) are cool and the technical challenges for managing all that cash are at times daunting, and since I also have a passion for hardware, I've really enjoyed working with my client on the technical aspects of the hardware (things like bill acceptors, iButton readers, alarm/display modules, low level TCP/IP communication, assembly language, etc.) Marc

                                      Bullsh1t debunker. Not just in airy-fairy religious and mystical areas, but in every field. There is so much bullsh1t everywhere you look, and it's always propagated faster and more vehemently than the smack-in-the-face obvious truths that contradict it.

                                      I just want to kick every idiot who talks with his @rse in the mouth!
