I thought about being a security guard. I don't think I'm old enough yet tho. Only 20. I'm about 6'3" 235-240 lbs.
If you've never worked security

I get the commercial channels for free. But I haven't watched one in years. With 300 + channels on the digital satellite, 38 of them playing movies commercial free and 68 channels playing commercial free digital music, I've got no use for that primitive over the air stuff.
Admittedly I pay considerably more than your £120 a year, (I think it works out to a hair over £600 per year), but I also have about 1/2 dozen other choices (Varying in price all the way down to about $20 a month), or I could go free and put up with the commercials if I wanted to.
It's about choices, and it seems you folks have fewer and fewer of them every day.

Yea, that will probably work in your favor. LOL!
Well, digital freeview - DVB-T provides 50+ channels for nothing, ie you buy your freeview digibox, or a freeview capable telly, and you get them through the aerial. 8 or so are BBC channels, so no commercials on them - the rest are ITV, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4, Channel 4, Channel 5 and a few others like UKStyle and UKLiving, History Channel etc.
If i were to pay for digital cable or digital satellite, you pay minimum £20 a month to get the same lineup of channels, plus a few movie channels, SciFi Channel, Bravo and SkyOne if you pay £35 a month, £45 or so if you have the sports package. £540 a year worst case scenario, plus the £120 you have to pay for a TV license... ($1080 + $240 converted) - the price you pay for the extra crap just isnt worth it - seeing as the BBC make better programmes than all the other channels and still have no commercials... (Doctor Who, Top Gear, Life on Mars, Horizon etc).
Most european countries have a TV license, although we in the UK actually get a lot for what we pay.
The license has been in place since 1922 (and was originally for a radio reciever, tv was added later, and radio reception became free around 1936 or so), so its not a new thing...
But this is a totally different subject - back to the topic of guarding pubs!

SC - i can lift stupidly heavy things - back in about 2002, when i was a wee 20 year old, i was able to pick up a boulder that not even the builder could shift. Granted my arms felt like they were about to fall off, but i managed it dammit!
I can do heavy lifting still, although in the last few years, MS medication means i cant do as much as i'd like

I use to be a body guard. It was a pretty cool gig....I am a security supervisor at a large plant now. Just got offered Project Manager of Security at the new plant they are almost done building. Not sure how much longer I am going to stay in this field though. I want to go back to engineering. I am 6'5" and use to weigh about 230...down to 200 now.
I have to haul some drunks out every once in awhile, thats about it. It is an unarmed position. At least when I was a BG I carried a gun. BTW I have body armor if someone wants to buy some. The stuff is expensive as hell, but you get what you pay for. I fired a 9mm from three feet on some of this stuff, and it stopped the bullet. It was half as thick as the body armor. (Don't want to do that to one you wear. LOL) I will post a pic of the bullet imbedded in the Kevlar is someone wants to see. It would hurt like hell if you where wearing it, might even break a rib, but you would live.

I have worked security. It was ok. I am not really a night person though, so I wasn't really into it 100%. I made sure doctors got to their cars ok at night in a bad part of town. I only had to give one person some flashlight therapy. 6'0" 200lbs, amature full contact fighter w/ several years of martial arts.
Chris, are you doing Autoexpress and security?
