Change of career

[Booldawg]

After 20 years of unskilled, manual labour, I have finally decided its time for a change of career.

I was hoping to become an International Jewel Thief, and wondered if anyone on this board could give me some valuable pointers into which model of Bentley I should be driving and whether to favour Cafe Cremes' over Hamlet Minatures.

Also, any buyers/sellers in Antwerp would be much appreciated, along with schematic diagrams of security systems as used in most stately homes.

A change of name more suited to the role would benefit me in my career I feel.

Yours Faithfully

Alas Benoit your vision of international jewel thievery is sadly outdated. The last major international jewel robbery I heard about had no black clad gentlemen shinning up drain pines and cleverly diverting laser alarms with cunning mirrors but instead had large men with shotguns exchanging fire with the rossers and racing up and down the Thames in speedboats.

Sic transit gloria mundi

I think you've just answered my question (on your post in A&L) for me.

Thank you Jake, due to my general demeanor, I'm at more of an advantage surfing the zeitgeist of the classic 70s image of this rather dashing, albeit illegal profession.

 

And georgit, yes, I see myself as a surrelist celebrity internet serial poster, adding absurdism to brighten up some of the more banal questions posted here.

Having said that, I have managed a few sensibile answers to peoples questions.
