    Whos your daddy and what does he do.

    Not quite the above

    But I'd be interested in knowing what Hexus members do for a living? As the majority of members seem to have a good grasp of the English language and appear to be well educated individuals.

    If you are out of work, then what was your last job?

    If you are in education, what are you studying?

    Also I like to know how old everyone is

    This is to get more of a feel for what kind of people are posting on this forum, i'm sure others have wondered this aswell, I can't be the only one.

    I'm ~30 years old and I'm a high-energy physicist.

    My dad's a pimp with a sideline in gun-running and child slavery. Amazing I turned out so well.

    Re: Whos your daddy and what does he do.

    My dad is my dad and he used to be a welder, but not just any old welder as he's done deep-sea welding and got the bends a few times from doing this. He's also done work where he was suspended at great heights welding big metal structures.

    I'm me and you can guess what I do for a living

    Re: Whos your daddy and what does he do.

    I do deliveries in a van for a certain business. It's normally to places in the area between Bristol, Birmingham and Northampton, but every now and then I go to Exeter, Manchester, Glasgow, Southampton, or London. I normally do 300-500 miles per day, Monday to Friday, apart from the odd day when there's nothing going on. I've done 30,000 miles since November. I think it costs about £60 to courier a pallet, whereas for a bit more in fuel and wages, I can do 4-5 pallets in a day.

    I'm a 25, a Civil Engineer, and a Pilot.

    I thought from the title that this was to be a thread mocking SammEl.

    Nah - it's too embarrassing.
    I only met my father a couple of times, but I think he was a Mech Eng.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    I'm hovering between 20 and 21, I'm a student at the moment (Computer Networking) but I've got a job for when I graduate where I'll be responsible for the IT infrastructure for a local Medium-Sized company...it'll be fun!

    My Dad...he's a mechanical engineer-type chap, no fancy degrees or anything, but plenty of experience and an uncanny ability to make things work!
