Taking Ani's theory, all you've got to do is chop some meat up, and lob it at the tigers. Piece of piss.

Even easier with the vegetarians.

Just throw vegetarians in?

My ideal job would be working at a driving range hoovering all the golf balls up in one of those buggies, the fuckers can even take pot shots at me, pay me the same and I switch jobs tomorrow.

Mini golf?

If anyone needs an accounts assistant with no experience, hit me up 😁

Poor coppers.  All other emergency services workers are, quite rightly, lauded but they just get lots of shit from all sides! 

Fire service was the cushy number in comparison wasnt it? Put out the odd fire, play lots of pool, go to bed on your night shift and gold plated retirement in your 50s.  I imagine a lot of that's gone now.

Like I say I'd love to be be a copper. Mainly because I prefer their uniform and you get a set of handcuffs 👍
