My ideal job is the one I'm doing
*eats croissant* I'd like to do a PhD though, but even if I don't I still love the job, there's just no career progression.
I was only in trouble once at school, for doing my R.E. homework in maths class.

And what might it be that you do that is so perfect?
That's pretty shocking behaviour that is. Also, I can't recall ever having RE homework.

I'm a research scientist
in cancer genetics. Sounds more important than it is; I'm the dogsbody. Still love it though.

Still sounds pretty cool
Actually doing something to make a difference and all that.

serious question - do you create tumours in petri dishes?

No
I grow cells, some of which are 'immortalised' (eg, cancer cells) but I don't grow tumours and I don't use petri dishes.

Pay for my 30 a day Marlboro Light habit for long enough & I will probably develop a tumour for you.

I think my local kebab house may be world leaders in this field.

Never trust meat you can shave.

I know a cop who once stopped a car here
Got them to open the boot, and found an unwrapped length of kebab meat rolling about on the carpet.
