Secret jobs.

[Oldhippy]

Am I the only one who always fancied doing a particular job but never got around to it or discovered you might be too old to start again? I have always fancied the perfect environmental camp site but could never afford the land, my own shop selling stuff I liked that if you knew about it you became a lifelong customer (bit pie in the sky that one). It would be a bike shop meets music shop meets what else might be interesting kind of thing. Lastly, a skilled carpenter.

Second hand bookshop exactly like Barter Books in Alnwick- pity they got there first.

 

[Oldhippy]

Damn and that! I could incorporate that in my strange shop though.

 

[Dayvo]

Running a bar/cafe/coffee shop (Dutch style) with snacks, pastries and cakes, near a beach/beauty spot by a road popular with cyclists/beach users with live bands playing a few times a week.
No formality, no yobs, no families, (crying or naughty kids), no problem!

I went to college for 2 years full time (35hrs a week) to train as a Cabinet Maker after working in Brass Foundries where a few restorers would commission a set of new handles for furniture or 'Spandrels' for 'Long Case' clocks,

If you had one then I could replicate it to make a new set that looked original

 

[raleighnut]

Dunno what happened there, just supposed to be a picture of clock 'spandrels'

I had just such a daydream the other day. A Cafe/shop in the middle of a forest. A few workers to cut and mill timber, I would have a workshop within the Cafe to make stuff and sell. I would design and oversee the menu. Music playing all the time, the odd live band, fmailies welcome (kids can play in a separate room), pool/darts/quiet room for chess/ licensed bar. Punters could pay a tenner each and use the facilities all day and late into the night, and would buy my food and drink

Summat under water, like building oil rigs or those huge gas mains being welded up on the sea bed.

[byegad]

I always fancied being an assassin.

In between paid jobs I'd take out those people on my private list*.

*It gets longer by the day!

Well...you can be, but you’d better be prepared for the fallout!
