    What sort of fraud out of interest? Isn't poker basically a solved game (at least pre-flop) these days, so is it looking for people using aids/bots?

    Almost an ideal man, but no “Spider-getter-outer” so no good.

    My Mrs once screamed downstairs that there was a Bee in the bedroom … apparently replying “of course there is and an E,D,R….” Is not the answer she was looking for, true story

    Medically retired, so I spend my day in pain, listening to music and finding things to do to avoid doing the things I really ought to do.

    Previously I was a nurse, an RGN/RSCN, and spent my time mainly in A&E in Liverpool, Brighton and Hampstead, but also in paediatrics. I think I worked on just about every ward at Great Ormond Street. Quit my permanent NHS role when we got promoted to the Premiership, as it was pissing me off that everyone else in the London branch got every Saturday off. So I joined an agency so that I could choose my shifts.

    After a while I moved into the agency office, first taking over the paediatric section. At one point I had the most paeds nurses of any agency in the country, 90% of which were Aussies and Kiwis who didn’t want a permanent job, as they were using London as a base for their European travels). I eventually ended up managing the branch. I could write a book about that place. Crazy. Great fun, until it wasn’t.

    And then I got a job in the City. Complete career change. Worked for a corporate insurance intermediary, Started off as a client manager on the Group Risk side of things, but was off for several months after major spinal cord surgery (to remove a tumour), so switched roles whilst I was gradually returning to the work place and ended up working on the Income Protection claims/absence management/OH side of things, helping employees to return to work or get their benefits if this wasn’t possible. Working in absence management made more sense really, with my nursing background, so I stuck with that for the next 10-12 years until I had to stop working and, ironically, became an Income Protection claimant myself!

    If I had stuck with one thing I would probably have ended up much better off financially, I never made a career move in my life, but I wouldn’t change anything, as it was an interesting journey. Worked for some right crackpots over the years, in all three areas, but met some great people and lifelong friends.

    He still can't keep up to speed with what's going on in these threads it seems. Apparently I brought him up and have been bragging about banning him

    Bloody hell, that didn't take long! So either he's got spies on here, or he still drops in from time to time to have a read. He must have creamed his pants when he saw his name mentioned.
