I'm an old fart well retired from 44 years with Telstra starting as a telephone Tech and retiring as a manager. Skills were many but a large part of later life was writing technical manuals and user specs for computer systems working on main frames.
Dazzler, could have used your skills earlier as I'm tiling the living area floor at Anglesea at the moment.

I know most of the tricks from managing a tiling centre and picking the brains of the professional tilers who were customers, so if you need any advice let me know by PM. Some is easier than others but I should be pretty good by the time I'm finished. (still got over 40 m2 of outdoor tiles to lay sometime

Ah, Gawd. . . Journalist. As in, nasty national tabloids. And also: an Editor. Though not of a nasty national tabloid, I do have some standards. Also: writer of all kinds of stuff for all kinds of media. Also: author. Now retired from everything apart from hedonism. Most intersting job ever? I once had to sack our then Motoring Editor because he was too pissed too often to be entrusted with manufacturer loan cars: a new Porsche was once delivered on a car transporter (as is the l way these things are often done) and said Motoring Editor stood at the bottom of the ramp and was nearly flattened. So I did his job instead -- well, someone had to. Married to Mrs F. Who likewise has a long and dubious media pedigree. (Note to identity dealers: the foregoing is all b0ll0cks, I'm a monk in charge of the Benedictine bottling plant.)

You're making me hungry now.
A nice red, fresh bread dipped in extra virgin olive oil............

I once received an invitation (when I was still working) to a lunch at the Benedictine Monastery, but I declined when I found out that it was a meal in silence, with no one allowed to speak.

Have you tried the bread from the New Norcia Monastry....hmmm...yummy...
