I think I'd have more success as a fire-eater ;-) My most successful attempt at any of the above is no.1, as seen in that incriminating photo (£6 and a packet of biscuits I seem to remember) Yes, the gigolo part.

Except for that gigolo part... too woman and too old for that. Although, you may never know. Some people can be really tolerant. As Joe E.Brown says at the end of "Some like it hot" - nobody's perfect! Nice ideas :) )

Otherwise do you really think I wouldn't have given the experience at least a blog post or two ;-) Jasmine, the tuk-tuk idea is tempting. Have you heard of the Rickshaw Run? It's a charity event where competitors buy a tuk-tuk and travel across India. Sounds completely crazy, but a pretty wild adventure.

I have trouble catching a ball so learning to play with fire could be interesting. Have you been tempted? :-) Jools, getting a bit old now to work as a gigolo. I'm sure young good-looking men like yourself will have far more success in that department. As for the crap tour guide job, I think I might be a natural fit for that role - I've been spinning such stories to my wife on our travels for many years. I reckon I'll sign up with your company once you get it started. John, the jugglers’ school sounds exactly what I need.
