    Mates,

    I think I have the coolest job. I am an Insurance Fraud Investigator (a PC name for Private Investigator). I get to sit outside of peoples houses and follow them to to jobs, doctors offices, and fun stuff. Last week I followed someone to a NASCAR race. I also followed someone to the dump, so it's not always fun stuff.

    I also have time to sit on the computer and chat with my mates (hence the 1,300 post count on the Bruisers forum).

    Cheers,

    -Ben

              Hi to all - I started my working life as a fitter & turner with Alcan Aust. in Granville. had a few jobs after the apprenticeship b4 a 6-7 month trip around Australia in "1975" in an f100 towing a caravan (so i got into the grey army early) - since then been in design and manufacture of wine capsules in sydney been here for 25 years this year.
              Now the design Manager and Key account sales for NSW & Qld.
              We manufacture the thing all you wine drinkers tear off the top and throw away.
              "I do not recomend the screwcap" it is only a passing fad. Besides we do not make them.
              I am involved in Venturer Scouts as a leader for the past 12 years.
              I have just ordered my 3rd prado and now patiently waiting for delivery.
              Oh i nearly forgot married + two girls 23 / 25 still at "home" :lol:
