Just thought I would put it out there, what is your job? Do you run your own business? Are you a chippy?

I have been really sick for three weeks now so have been reading Seabreeze nonstop. When I read posts and get a feel for people's humour I start to wonder more about them.
No I am not batting for the other team.
So let us know what you do.

Cheers.

I'm working on a shorter day in this Lucky Country where the Geckos are paid to live in the sun...

Lucky Country;

Speed, and this
There's a feeling I get when I look to the sun
Love, it's so tough
Cause it raises your hopes and then it makes you run

We're all looking for a shorter day
We're all looking for an easy way
Even when the debts are dead and gone

Down, the stairs
And an eight mile drive waits for you to turn on
Hear, the time clocks sing
And the smoke in the distance reaches the eye line

We're all working on a shorter day...

No conversation as you go
There's so much space the heat moves you
Terracotta homes, backyard barbeque and eucalyptus smell
It's fine on the clothes line
It's fast food and slow life and red roof
My silence, comic interruptions
Surely there's some relief from atomic art
And the fragile state of world events
With clowns who love the kings and power and the mutant media babes
Wanking on dreams and fashions and toilet paper flowers
Don't talk to me in this backyard - it's clandestine, it's nuclear
Smell of space and now forever I wanna go
Straight down the exit eight mile attraction
U-turn is up and the time clock sings lets go

Lucky country
Where the geckos are paid to live in the sun
On and on there's a ribbon of road and a mile to spare
Lucky country
Lucky country

And here I am thinking that I would get some serious responses.

Not likely here, I should have thought of that.

So what has been posted today is not totally in concurrence with my thoughts from previous posts.
So this is what I thought:-
Tedthekiwi - I had you down as a builder.
62mac- we all know you are a pimp for McTavish so that wasn't hard.
CMC - had you running a SUP or surf shop.
Simondo - schoolteacher.
WA71- dog handler. No I had you working on oil rigs or in the mines.
JBshack - you have given yours way before.
Chrispy - you are a schoolteacher
Scotty - got you right but didn't know you lived in Israel.
Jasdeking- schoolteacher.
Tux - your a builder or carpenter.

Thanks guys gave me something to do today.

So ET are you disappointed that we are all not bunch of surfie bums but have respectable jobs that serve our community well ? As for being a builder I never came close to doing a trade to be honest......I liked school so much I stayed there for another 7 yrs!

Well I have been literally sitting on my arse for three weeks.
So I was thinking about all sorts of rubbish. It goes to prove that you can't judge people by comments they make.

Yes some of you do come across as surfy bums. That is one of the reasons I asked.

Thanks.
