Working in an abbatoir. I’m one of those carnivores that couldn’t do the deed, yet can’t live without meat (and fish).

I was about to post something similar. I enjoy eating meat but couldn't do the slaughtering.

Pay is dreadful for carers , most of the ones who have helped me out have been worth far more than they are paid . I often offer them extra hours at a weekend , I pay them 15 quid an hour , the normal rate of pay is less than a tenner
The private care companies brought in by Thatcher? Making an absolute killing
For a night sit from 10pm till 7 am we pay 130 quid
The carer gets about 90 of that

Anyway, enough about me and the fact I've just paid extra to bypass the usual 2 year Rolex waiting list, back to the question...
What job couldn't I do?
Easy
****ing painter.
I look at them mongos on site and think, "you retards"
"What sort of bell whiff leaves school and thinks ""I want to be a painter""?
Just brushing walls all day with different colours.

Hey, Steady with the "mongo's" fella some of us with a brain find that bloody offensive.

Those people that help make animals ejaculate. I could not do that.
Re: Jobs you couldn't do?
Shit & drains for me as well. Even mending or replacing a toilet seat is disgusting. I could never be a carer I’m devoid of sympathy (honestly).

Most people who work in the care industry (chuck nurses in as well) don't show much sympathy, so you would be ok,Des. How about that TT madness Des? That's a lob that i definitely couldn't do.

The TT madness is an addiction & adrenaline kick, there’s no other way to describe it. I was on the Island last week and instead of making the short 7 miles trip to Douglas, I drove the 38 miles around the TT course to get there. It's the same high intensity emotion for 38 miles as Ben Turner scoring the equaliser at Wembley but instead of lasting a few seconds it's every corner of every lap.
If you haven’t seen it, find & watch “Closer to the edge”

I've watched it. I shit myself just sat in front of the computer screen. How that race hasn't been banned is nobodies business. Absolutely bonkers. Speed does scare me a bit, although heights are no problem at all.

They won’t ban it as it’s a major source of income for the Island, even if the did the guys (& gals) wouldn’t stop there are plenty of other equally lethal road circuits.

I think am a speed merchant , I love the adrenal rush when you go close to the edge , an accident is oh so close . I cannot watch that video, those guys do it for minute upon minute , hour upon hour , not for a few fleeting seconds. .
I recently watched the fantastic documentary on the Dunlops and you realise its actually what they live for ,everything else
would appear to be second to the race. A different breed.
