Used to do IT support in the porn industry. Sadly, no video clips from then. Just the usual silly video's that IT people with quick connections send to each other.

Got a good one today, a fatal mid-air collision between a bird, and a baseball, that had just been thrown. Excellent feathers explosion, wreckage strewn over a wide area.

Yeah I saw the bird strike one. Didn't realise there were so many feathers on a bird!

If you look on FHM there are a couple of disturbing video clips.
Not that I am bored at work or anything!

Another one from the IT industry, though this time just to add a little aviation spice - from good old NATS and their Air Traffic Control systems, Did you all know that the new kit down at Swanwick which goes live in January is upgrading from coal-fired to gas !

At the private strip where I base my aircraft there are some 22 other pilots / owners. Of these none, 0 , zero etc are "IT Consultants" .

I know that all the pilots are PPLs and so might not be fully representative of pprune wanabees . Incidently almost 3/4 of the pilots are self employed / business owners.

Accountant, Brit, based in Egypt but travel around Africa as in Nigeria tomorrow night. The excitement is endless. But the money is good so choice of flying school doesn't have to be just on cost.

Low n' Slow, sorry, I'm not ignoring you! I am studying A-Level Physics and Geography and AS_Level Maths and Environmental Science. Got my final exams soon....eeeeeeeek!

I will be thrown into the big world of work this summer, but I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet....hmmmmm. (Obviously I am a wannabe pilot!) but I am thinking of the time between end of college and when BA say "wow! you're great! Come and work for us!" Or simply to fund my own training...sadly, I feel it may be this option!! Anyone got any ideas as to which line of employment I should follow?! Let me know if you do! Or, even better, does anyone here want to give me a (good) job?!

Thanks,

LFG
