Who did what when????

[Andy Motor Sounds]

I'm a pretty simple type of fella, I like to try new things, often. For example this weekend I'm going sea fishing, I may not like it but how will I know otherwise. I find life is best lived with new experiences to fire the soul, to reinvigorate, in my past I have been

*a Sailor

*a Chef (I was good at that)

*an Aircraft Engineer

*a Builder

*a Barman (I was good at that too, 7 years man and boy)

*a Storeman

*a Shop owner (I was crap at that)

*a waiter

*farm labourer

*Guitar tutor (still do a bit of that)


I've been homeless in The Netherlands (that was exactly zero fun), I've been a Cyclist, I've been a Judo champion, I've been shot at and nearly blew up, I've been strip searched in public on a cold night (wee willie winkie), I've had many accidents (mostly due to either, getting over excited or being drunk).



My greatest achievement thus far is giving up smoking, a wonderful past time (and I should know, I've tried all of 'em) with only one drawback....death. That said, its a habit I intend to take up again when I get naturally closer to the grave. It can usher me towards my demise with less of price to be paid on my part. By then I reckon I'll fancy taking up the pipe and I may grow a beard to go with it.



But its all led me to where I am now, I'm married to the lovely Janie and we have two beautiful wee girls. I play in The Bonevilles and run Motor Sounds Records, I say "run"
more kind of hope and pray for either a lottery win to ease the amazing waste of money or a stroke. Theres loads more but I'm bored now, don't blame me its the governments fault.....its TV thats to blame.....McDonalds its them bastards, they put shit in the food, no they do, actual shit.......I need a drink.!!!!

That's a lot of stuff.
So far I've been:
A chef (still doing it & lovin' it).
A record store assistant (loved that)
A shoveller of horse shit (hated that)
A public servant ( paid for all my drugs doing that)
Storeman (tolerated that)
Employee at a public radio station (still miss that one)
Comic shop assistant ( more fun times)
Youth worker (what was I thinking)
Happily unemployed ( wish it was still that easy)
There is a few more jobs I just can't remember them all at the moment. It's a bit like old girlfriends, they just seem to blur into the background as the years pass.
But the thing that gives me the most pleasure now, apart from my lovely wife, is riding my mountain bike round town at nite. Usually with a GaragePunk podcast playing on my mp3 player.
