THis has been a public service announcement on behalf of the world confederation of chocaholics. Thank you for listening.

Oh my God.

Best jobs I know of?

  1. A friend who was a lingerie buyer and had to regularly attend lingerie shows.

  2. An acquaintance while travelling who worked at a publisher’s warehouse putting little stickers on the offensive bits of porn mags.

I’m wondering how this vacancy came about. Perhaps the previous incumbent burst.

  • “Blimey, you’ve put on a lot of weight!”

  • “Don’t care don’t care don’t care don’t care don’t care.”

A friend of mine works as production manager in a chocolate factory, but she’s looking for a new position (too much management, not enough chocolate). Maybe I’ll pass it on to her.

Mate of mine at school got a summer job as a cake tester for M&S. After the first week he was sickened, and after the 2nd week he applied for a transfer. He doesn’t like cake anymore.

Is any experience required? Maybe I should update my resume. Just in case.
