She's Aaron's precious, actually.
I was Mathew Cordens' body double for the nude scenes.
I also had to ensure he didn't run out of Gregg's pastries, which was exhausting.
Actually I used to sell double glazing over the phone....that was awful.

What was so shocking about seeing an old lady playing bingo?

Aw.
Nude dildo bingo. Let's see Vic advertise that!
My worst job was working on the vans at telewest. First day I was teamed up with a ginge gorilla with a swastika on his forearm and our first call was to install phones for this reaallly gorgeous black girl. I did not a jot of work, but got fed hobnobs and really amazing tea, and this twat would not even go into the same room so she could sign the work order. Set the tone for the rest of my stint there. They basically hated me because I was not a homophobic, racist shit.

It was how she marked the numbers that was worrying.

You expected something different from Telewest?
Working in a themepark as ride assistant. Without a doubt.
Mine were probably working in a copper refinery. It was hot, dirty, graveyard shift and my shoulder has never been the same since. Oh yes...and the copper rash oh how it burned!

I worked in a corn grinding machine for a summer hand to make sure all the corn went into the center. That was shit, couldn't breath or see and had to avoid getting to close the center or you'd get sucked in the machine.

YIKES! Sounds dangerous.
I don't think this will beat the constant danger you were under but here was one aspect of my job.
Picture a huge square brick furnace. They turned off the furnace for a day and we would have to start dissembling it brick by brick. We would be attached by a harness and be given jack hammers to knock out the brick on the roof..that we were standing on.
I remember looking down and you could see the molten rock glowing.
We would take turns doing this job 15 minutes most because of the heat stress.
Besides that....Gavin's still sounds more dangerous!

That sounds shit mate. Atleast mine wasn't to warm.
Other shit one was labourer on building site. All the regular "Boys" used to pick on the temps and fill their buckets to the top with cement and thieir mates half full then race up the ladders on the side of house/office that was being built. That was shit half way up and you had no strength to even hold yourself on but struggle up to the top and get geered at. urgh...
