    Saturday Jobs

    I started my very first Saturday job today at the local dry-cleaners

    I was a petrol pumps attendant on the weekends. I got paid a pittance but didn't get called into action that much (hardly any traffic, it was in a very quiet village), we used to sell the sunday papers, so most sundays I'd sit listening to the radiio reading through the sports sections...
    still my favourite job

    I was a sand-based, beverage-container logistics technician in a tavern in Cork. Hated it.

    Cushiest number I ever had was a security job for eastern Electrical. Just had to be there, there was a video player there and I brought my playstation. Crap money, but easily earned!

    Worked at a garage, changing oil filters, spark plugs, repairing punctures etc.
    I liked the fact that I was doing a good honest hard days work but tips were unheard of. I did a host of jobs when I was young.
    From collecting glasses in a bar for a few pence to running youth discos for a small packet.

    Worked in a golf shop a few evenings a week and on the weekends, had to listen to some tight feckers asking for discount all the time (BMWs, and Mercedes cars parked outside).

    Lounge staff, then barman...

    Also did a few nights security like Gary above. There was two blokes per night and we got there at 11, played football games on the playstation until about 4, then fell asleep and got woken about 7 by builders before heading home.

    I'm still in my saturday job five years on

    *here's a voucher Roar, GET A LIFE*
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    Of course he wasn’t serious but even jokingly, jokes about “your sister” are poor, 80s style playground stuff…

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
