I was fired from a nightclub for dancing instead of collecting glasses.

Disappointed that the majority of forumers have 'never' been fired.
Its somthing that should be experienced at least once or your not pushing yourself.

Don't recommend making a habit of it though.

If I was to do something now that would get me fired, there's also a fairly good chance it would get into the news and more than likely also get me into jail.

As a complete experience, I'll admit it would be hard to beat but it's not something I feel like I'm missing out on.

My problem is calling clients cunt. That's AV for you. Every bloody twat in a cheap suit thinks he knows how to use lapel mic.
Thankfully I mashed up my back, so will never go back to rigging.

I was also fired from a tv station for playing Civilization instead of programming for a yoof channel.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
