I was working for Bradford Council at the time . If I remember correctly when that picture was taken I was working cleaning gullies . We would have to dig all kinds of foul smelling muck out of them . It was needless to say a dirty job . Having said that it was a job I enjoyed too . We got to go all over the Bradford area , and got to meet all different kind of people . We even got the occasional cup of tea as you can see ! Hey Mick! Sounds like you would like watching Mike Rowe on TV in his show called Dirty Jobs. It is quite funny at times! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

She did live in Germany for a while and dearly loved that . I've found it very easy to adapt to life here in truth . I love that bookstores dont close until 11.00pm and I can get donuts at 3 in the morning . Now if only it was'nt a 50 mile or so drive to get to one ! As for Dirty Jobs Catherine ( Cath? , Cathy? ) I have seen the odd episode here and there . We would have been right at home on that show though . Although I dont think our bosses would have liked to see all the skiving off we did lol . My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Love to relax with a good book , and cook for my family . Last weekend our daughters were away with the church youth group so myself and the wife took the opertunity of a day together . The highlight of our day was sitting in a bookstore for 3 hours or so just drinking coffee ,chatting and looking at books . I've been known to write the odd bad poem here and there too lol . Sometimes I think I'm too busy enjoying life to have fun lol . My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
