Nick Big Issue Wales

[HarperPR]

Anyone who wants to catch another piece of Harpic quotes, the Big Issue (Wales edition) carried an interview with Nick the other week. Back issues are available for those who prefer the real thing, otherwise you can read it here once I've scanned it in!

Congratulations on your new title, Andy :)

Yeah you! Just imagine if my future prospective employer is a Harper / Facebook /Myspace / RoyHarper Space/ You tube / Mistlethrush fan and decides to investigate me?! He'd say hello Captain Kirk's sidekick we know all about you and the interview is terminated! I don't give a flying Penny Farthing Pompey monkeys.. I'm beyond their systems of control.. white sticks tapping walls etc. etc.

One of the most freakyish [sp?] interview experiences I've ever had was applying for the posting of a Hong Kong police Inspector and they knew before I even entered the room that my father [RIP] was a Fabian. Spooky man, seriously. Talk about Big Brother watching you!

Now there may be a good Forum for debate - people's Interview experiences? Or the worst job they've ever had just to earn some dosh. Mine's a cross between cleaning the Conservative Club toilets at six in the morning and Manpower Ltd. sticking me in a frozen warehouse for a week moving dead carcasses [sp?] around. Should have been an undertaker methinks, makes more sense and they give you a surgical forensic suit to wear these days!

Yeah I really would wanna be a Milkman coz love getting up at three in the morning, don't have to meet anyone, the sky looks wonderful in the dark, the breaking dawn chorus turns me on, the off-licence doesn't open till 8 o'clock and I love the exercise, enjoyment of the whole caboodle, and can sleep all day while the wife works! The added bonus perks of the job is that it gives me sense of power going round threatening the customers in the evenings if they haven't paid their £3.26!!

All in jest Nick, hope things okay mate... [wonder if you ever thought of slowly posioning Glos. with your metallurgical knowlege?]. BTW what's this thing about Al Stewart singing about the Glos. cathedral?


aw
