What about National Express? Even jump driving where you would get on maybe at glasgow or summit, take it down so far, the take the next one back up. Also i remember the guys who drove the artics up to the west coast for us when I was fishing, they were on good money, they got paid for the day wether they drove or not, then most of their runs would be through the night, so it was like double bubble most days ------------- E39 530i Sport Aegean Blue Edition Saab 9-5T SE Estate E36 318i loon...sold E36 323i coupe...sold |

Why dont you contact BMW and see if they need a trolley service at lunchtime. What with your previous baking skills and passion for BMW your onto a winner. Not sure about the 20k tho. Seriously tho, I'm sure Reg Vardy are looking for sales people with no experience. Obviously not BMW, but why not in time? Or the Rigs, the time off has always appealed to me. Im sure you will have a good idea about how to get into that, living in Aberdeen. ------------- M3 Evo |

Pete - do the taxis. When I was in Glasgow the other week, the guy in front of us jumped into a cab - he asked if anyone else wanted to share the cab up to Aberdeen. We asked our cabbie how much the fare was ..... £250. Apparently this happens quite a lot, Oil Rig workers needing to get to Aberdeen quickly to get offshore - if they miss their helicopter, they lose 3 weeks work. -------------  |

Pete, what about getting into Computing? You've obviously got the skills to get started, and getting your first job in the industry is the hard part (I know). I've got a contact in the biggest IT recruitment agency in Scotland that might be able to help you out (in fact he's sometimes on this forum) - the only problem is £20k starting salary for someone with no computing work experience is quite high, but possibly worth investigating? ------------- http://www.facebook.com/teamschirmer">

Come down here to Edinburgh, I'd love to start up a valet business and had the idea myself to do it on the side once I get my own place. Premises is the biggest problem here, but lots of Merc, BM and Jag owners willing to pay silly money to have their car looking the part. Be hard work but if done right you could make a name for yourself and the work would roll in. I know you're a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to your car - if I had the time and a garage I would be as well. ------------- 1987 BMW 525e Lux Auto (sadly deceased) http://www.getfirefox.com - Get Firefox - Ditch Hopeless Inertnet Exploder http://www.doive.co.uk - www.doive.co.uk
