I've done what must be the perfect job for divvies. Although I took whatever I could get, I still quit after one shift.
I wont even bother going into detail

Be a postman and earn upto about £35K a year. It is really easy to get promoted in the post office as well. Best thing is to apply for a managers position as soon as you join, people will be surprised by what money and carear development options are available in the PO. How many jobs do you know of that let you sign on for 8 hours over time docket a day and only do 2 hours past your duty time. If your face fits, you will coin it in!

Hello
One of those urban legends probably, but worth thinking about:
-=-=-
A woman was working in a post office in California. One day she licked the envelopes and postage stamps instead of using a sponge. That very day the lady cut her tongue on the envelope. A week later, she noticed an abnormal swelling of her tongue. She went to the doctor, and they found nothing wrong. Her tongue was not sore or anything.
A couple of days later, her tongue started to swell more, and it began to get really sore, so sore, that she could not eat. She went back to the hospital, and demanded something be done. The doctor took an x-ray of her tongue,and noticed a lump. He prepared her for minor surgery. When the doctor cut her tongue open, a live roach crawled out. There were roach eggs on the seal of the envelope. The egg was able to hatch inside of her tongue, because of her saliva. It was warm and moist... This is a true story
reported on CNN!

I reckon being a tube driver or train driver wouldn't be bad. Earn 30k+, all you have to worry about is jumpers... I suppose train driver would be better as at least you can see the countryside as you go along.

I packed cream for about 5 weeks. Boring as hell! Was only able to stand it cos a mate was working there and we just used to take the p!ss out of everybody else.
And no, packing cream is nothing like packing fudge!!
The best one was being a pizza delivery boy many years ago "Racing" yer mates around West Swindon.....much more fun if you stick to the many footpaths!! 
Yeah...I know ...young and stoopid.
But funny!

I've done a fair bit in the early 90s. Timber yards as summer jobs, pizza delivery in my Dutton (now that was a great job, I recommend anyone to do that for a laugh), 7.5 ton driver of kosher chickens round Jewish butchers, envelope stuffing (but not licking), sorting architects' drawings from a manufacturer of industrial aircon, boxshifting in warehouses, shelf stacking in supermarkets, data entry for SEEBoard when people filled in some form for a special offer... there are only two jobs I can remember refusing. One was boxshifting in a warehouse where the staff were utterly unpleasant, the other was packing ******* (no, no jokes please) at a chilled foods plant in Tunbridge Wells, it was so terminally boring I couldn't handle more than two days.
And if I lose this job (unlikely, as I am public sector), I WILL grit my teeth and go back to the above. Especially pizza deliveries using own car...

Brendan, I would assume you're talking about the place down by Sainsburys, whose name escapes me, ahhh, Turners! That's the blighters! Mum used to work down there doing that, was line supervisor or something, dunno how she did it, if you're in Sainsburys petrol station and the wind is in the wrong direction you get this whiff, OMG!!! makes me feel sooooooo ill. Though lots of free samples (no jokes about free ******* for the blokes our family!)

no joke Bravo
Basically anytime a gyno has to do any kind of examination they have to have a shaperone, the shaperon has to witness what goes on so the bird can't say later "the gyno was fiddling with my clitoris" that sort of thing
I'd be happy to watch
