I once spent two years being paid by the UK government to play Quake.
What's the strangest thing you've been paid to do?

had a two week market research job going by train from Portsmouth to Cardiff and back again counting how many people got on the train at each station, how many got off at each station and how many there were on the train in between stations.
200 quid a week back when 200 quid was a lot of money.
But then again I used to be a Butlins Redcoat there I was paid to keep the campers happy.
After 7.00pm at night when the bar was open the rules were that you could drink alcohol but you couldn't go to the bar and buy it yourself so I got paid to drink for free with various holidaying families.
Just as well because the job only paid 70 quid a week.
