Ha Ha, forgot IT! This may be harder than I thought

[nutty]

seems to work for me Mockney

[mockney piers]

it works, but I forgot I.T. which rather embarrassingly is my job. I went for Media as I do it in a Media company at the moment.

[Ant]

Tsk tsk, Mockers. You really ought to have followed ISIC Rev 3.

(Be warned: that's a very boring link.)

[nutty]

You forgot to put IT as an option you mean?

[*Bob*]

Does 'artist' include the full remit of namby-pamby airy-fairy wishy-washy so-called professions? (eg writer, musician, poet etc)

[mockney piers]

Yes Nutty that's the one.

I only spent 15 minutes on it, and you're only allowed 30 options.

Bob, i think there are probably a lot of grey areas. For insance I'm really a lap dancer, is that artist, entertainment or retail or even advertising?

We could make a better one and place it somewhere and get admin to lock it or something.

Ant, loved 99, thought it was extra-terrestrial for a moment

Well, Media seems to be winning comfortably at the moment - though we need far more respondents to make it statistically valid, obviously.

It has made me question the title of the post though, as I don't think that Arty/Media are particularly instructive when lumped together - they seem to be very distinctive and separate categories. Maybe Media is half-way between Banking and Artist?

[*Bob*]

Seeing as 'Mum' is currently on zero percent, I'd day it has a long way to go before becoming anywhere near statistically valid.

[Domitianus]

Quite agree with Bob. This place sees more spawning than a termite colony. There is something horrendously grim about it all!

[Bony Fido]

I'd count myself as a "Farty/Tedious" type. But I do like to listen to some of the(would-be?)"Arty/Media" types in the local bars, especially Franklins which seems to attract them. (Having said that, I think Franklins gets a very interesting mix of customers and a very relaxing atmosphere because it doesn't appeal to the rowdy troublesome element - what few of them do enter normally don't hang around for long.)

[Jah Lush]

Tragically, I work in the media and publishing. I'm quite artistic too. I'm not helping much here am I?

[Keef]

Not sure which category my job would fall under... Can I just be tortured musician ;-)

[Jah Lush]

You can be whatever you like Keef. I was a frustrated musician myself once, now I'm just frustrated.

the Saturday Guardian has the best crossword in the known world. Although I am completely stuck on the bank holiday special.

I try to be as insipid as possible most of the time. But I never realised that working in a particular job could make you anaemic.

Did you know that in other parts of the country they dont use the cellophane and you can sneak the guide (or the crossword) out of the 7-11 undetected.

[buggie]

I'm a nurse but bit confused where to put myself on the poll - goverment? hospitality?!!

[mockney piers]

Did I miss health? I'll admit it was a bit of a rush job. I'll set up a better one soon if people are still interested.

[Ant]

I'm telling you, ISIC Rev 3 is the way to go. Covers all the bases. :p

[Michael Palaeologus]

I am not covered - Business Consultant, sort of.

[mockney piers]

Hmm and the breakdown of 95 still doesn't cover my hypothetical lap dancing career.

[Ant]

Perhaps this would cover you, Mockers.

Mikewbate, how about this?
