    I drive an HGV in Norway.
    Mostly 25' containers with a lorry and A-frame trailer.
    Either driving for the Post, or driving beer and pop for the larger breweries.

    I'm a manager for heating / plumbing engineers, dishing out daily jobs and sorting problems out, mainly customer complaints.
    Looking for a new job though as its pretty shit and poorly paid! Oh and I don't like plumbing or heating.

    I am very lucky to be a Doctoral Researcher after doing a couple of degrees. I get to travel all over the world and have lived in France and Japan. I cannot stress enough how science, technology, engineering and maths are worthwhile subjects at school. I almost cocked it all up being a dickhead at school.

    I also get to write for large science and motorsport magazines, which is a side hobby of mine.
    Additionally used to work for DriftOne with their drift experience days.
