PSY(cho-cy)CLIST (used to race at club level and always suffered going uphill, so had to make good use of my gravity assisted descents, I was the nutter carving round the outside of the peleton at 60+mph!). Learnt the art of massage when I got into Triathlons and competed up to half-Iron Man for several years before d.i.v.o.r.c.e. took away my ability to do anything but survive and my 900 Daytona.
Apprenticed as a Draughtsman before the advent of CAD (bl00dy computer games, pah!), now an office manager running a configuration database (even bigger computer games, zzzz!) for RN-MoD (damn, I shouldn't have said that, I'll have to get you all shot now). Former qualified driving instructor, I've been a temporary postman, a Special Constable and before that spent 9 years bobbing around the S.W Approaches with the part time grey funnel line punctuated with short spells haring around the coast of N.Ireland in overpowered bathtubs, they took away my SLR badge with their minesweepers and made me an SA80 marksman (yes SA80, really good once you'd had the opportunity to, err, personalise your own issued one) and GI (drill instructor)
Always been into motorbikes, was a member of the National Motorcycle Escort Group, been RoSPA for decades, done a bit of courier work in my yoof (London to Cardiff mainly, good ole 'Wing!), more recently IAM and instructing, ex-DD racer now joined the DSC MT!
Still struggling to finish my apprenticeship to be a lingerie fitter tho, done 25 of the 40 years required to qualify, so I just gotta keep practising
