Palazzo, can you please take musicians off the list...or at least some musicians? I worked for 40 years (1982-2022) as a professional musician working in mainly West End shows. Although I loved playing my instrument it felt very much like a proper job - you can't be late (despite the best efforts of the train companies), too many mistakes and you're out, paying the mortgage requiring the standard to be high every time you picked up your instrument, a bollocking from the boss (musical director/conductor) if things went wrong, the hassle of the self-assessment tax return. Okay it's not working down a pit but we slogged hard to give audiences a great night out! ok, granted. I guess it a real job when you would rather be down the pub having a quiet pint or off walking the dog. However, professional dog-walkers ? but i will disagree with the other cantankerous eejit above. He who maintains than being a Professional Footballer is a real job. Same as working in an office or factory. Considering fellas have tantrums and strops when substituted off. You know any office worker who would be offered an early finish and throw their toys out of the pram ? Edited by PalazioVecchio (26 Jul 2024 9.03am)

They were really cocky about it when they were in their twenties and thirties, but now they look around at their old friends who have grafted and own their houses outright, and they are sitting in their poxy little rented sheethole without a pot to pi55 in, and are not so cocky now. Funny ain't it I know a magistrate. One after another of these paraded before her, all looking about 30 years older than they actually are. None will live beyond 60 and will all die alone, in penury and in pain.

Funny ain't it Another one I cannot fathom, is people that work from home (when im decorating for them) and do nothing bar an odd zoom call / meeting that appears to be basically sound bites and waffle.
