    I am familiar with the Code. It was Fellow. Not a chap I assure you.

    It is something that I had thought of and I have done some outside work in the civvie industry. There is definately the potential to make money but the hours are actually quite long and you are at the mercy of your clients, so need to be available when they are. I am looking in the field, but more at a studio gym. Still some research to do but its getting closer.

    1. Well I'm a vet (an animal doc - not an old fella - yet).
    2. I like it most of the time, except the on-call work is a bit of a drag, especially in the middle of the night
    3. Lots of variety. Involves brain power as well as hands on dexterity (surgery). Some of the orthopaedic surgery involves use of tools

    That is like calling a plastic surgeon a pimple popper. I did a course with Cliff many years ago, it went for about 18 months. Most people who applied for the course didn't get in. A lot of those who did get on it failed. Cliff was one those that finished the course, in fact, he duxed it. That is quite an achievement, and I dips me lid to him.

    I know you're having a bit of fun, but there you go. There is a bit more to just about everyone on this BB than meets the eye.

    Not me. I'm every bit as insignificant and non-noteable as I seem.
