Arse Professions Cup

[Colin Phillips]

How about Betting Exchange Operators/Owners?

But seriously what exactly do Estate Agents do, that we couldn't do better ourselves?

Oh! and CAREER politicians.

Colin

 

[PDJ]

I would nominate bank managers.

 

[Shadow Leader]

As mine has been really quite good to be lately I can't really get away with nominating them!

 

[an capall]

I thought one of our members would nominate female racehorse trainers.

 

[Shadow Leader]

Ah, but the luverly Jenny Pitman has retired now, An! :lol:

 

[BrianH]

Vehicle clampers

 

[Shadow Leader]

Of course, cheers Brian....how could anyone have not mentioned Traffic wardens yet?! :blink:

 

[BrianH]

Because it's not really a profession - more of a vocation... :lol:

 

[Desperate Dan]

I find this thread deeply offensive, being an honourable taxman and an ex-referee. Somebody`s got to these jobs

 

[Bar the Bull]

I am very surprised that nobody has mentioned bookmakers.

 

[Ian Davies]

Whatever my good friend Terry does for a living, surpassed only for arseness - as Colin rightly points out - by my ''profession.'' :lol:

 

[terry]

Ian, I thought that arseness WAS your profession........................

 

[simmo]

Bus Drivers - all colour blind, all issued with a copy of the highway code in reverse (the red light in front of you does not mean that you should press the accelerator harder), rude (staring straight ahead whilst I am displaying my bus pass and repeatedly grunting when asked a question is just not good manners), and aggressive (leaning out of your cab and calling me a wanker because you weren't looking properly is not appropriate behaviour).

None of these qualities enhance their job performance. In fact, some of them even have difficulty with the basics - there is one driver I can think of in particular who refuses to actually stop the bus at a stop (maintaining a very slow crawl) until you specifically say "Are you going to stop this bus at any point dickhead?"

I can't have taxmen - they sent me a jolly nice cheque the other day. Cheers Dan.

[Kathy]

:lol: @ Simmo! Excellent!!!

 

[Ian Davies]

Terence,

There are those who would refuse to communicate with a Thames Corridor Oscar Wilde whose idea of rapier wit is to call someone a ''wanker'' but, fortunately for you, I'm not one of them. :lol:

Joking aside, I doin't have much time for the profession of journalism, not least because I used to be one. :lol:

 

[terry]

'I'm a very easy going guy, but the only time I ever get riled is when know-nothing wankers start making grand pronoucements about how to run betting exchanges, a subject they know marginally less than f%*& all about.'

Well I'm glad I'm getting some credit from you at last then Ian.

By the way, you are no Oscar Wilde.

Anyhow, it looks as if we've got enough suggestions.

Here's an 8. Any objections?

Lawyers/solicitors
'The Taxman'
Journalists
Politicians
Salesmen
Estate Agents
Taxi/Bus Drivers
Builders and allied tradesmen.

I've merged a few together. That OK?

 

[Ian Davies]

Well aware of my past postings, Terence, and, once again, I fear you've missed the tongue-in-cheek point.

But at least we're still talking. :lol:

 

[Swirly Chaser]

List seems good.

The winner can play "police officers" in the Arse Professions Super Cup.

 

[terry]

I know Ian, but I have to think of my adoring public who hang on my every word.

I only do it for them.

 

[Ian Davies]

Terry,

:lol: B)

 

[Kathy]

The list is absolutely fine Terry. Anyone want to put the odds up of who is going to win?
