    How about accompanying the Australian Ambassador from Riyadh to Qatar to present his credentials to The Emir.

    There were only 2 flights a week from Bahrain then so we drove in the Merc.

    I heard the belts squealing before we went so told the driver to get the belts changed. He did but they changed the wrong belt of 5 which ran the aircon, so I had to change it on my back in a suit in a petrol station in Doha during prayers.

    Surreal being greeted by about 300 soldiers and a band playing the OZ national Anthem (badly) and then walking along a looong corridor with elite palace guards every 3 metres with paratrooper AK47s because the succession was by gun in those times.
    I had alays wondered what they talked about at those things which were televised, and its just "how's the weather "etc.

    In another life I once had to inspect a brothel, accompanied by a photographer. Fortunately, there were no customers at that time, but the girls were friendly.

    Collecting bull semen using an artificial cow vagina that had to have the water jacket inside at the precise temperature to ensure a good ejaculation was given.

    Paid to be in the right spot when an 1800 pound bull was keen to mount.

    Gee Chenz that would be a rough ride. It would pay to be in the right spot me thinks, or hope that latex has no weak spots.

    My usuals experiences
    Pick up a shot gun, dildo, and tube of anal lube from under peoples beds. Also painted a brothel and worked in a house while the tenant did drug deals over my time there.

    Currently (first time in 30 years) watch a smoking hot girl awaken from her bed naked at 7.20 each morn. We are working on an elevated site, she has a unit adjacent us and would be aware we are there, and chooses not to draw the curtains, we choose to watch. Is that wrong?

    Being forced off the street by armed Palace guards in Massawa, the chief port of Ethiopia, at that point the oldest Kingdom in the World. His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie , was dining on board with our Captain, and came with an armed escort, because of an attempted coup. Luckily, some of the locals had set up temporary bars in their homes, to cater for our visit. Had to drink some horrible Ethiopean beer, some said they'd rather been shot. Also had a tour to Asmara, escorted by armoured cars, on a bus ride through guerrilla infested territory. The Kingdom was overthrown not long after, Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    When we lived in Thailand we got to inspect the King of Thailand's collection of series Landys, which are up on stands in a garage in the gardens of a royal palace at Nakhon Pathom. Didn't look like they had been started for years, judging by the cobwebs.

    Gee... the most unusual but rewarding job ever was to drive up and down the Gibb River Road on a weekly basis as a road inspector. I absolutely loved it meeting up with the locals, helping the locals--i was always finding them broken down or out of fuel. Camping , fishing , shooting..twas the best time of my life the 3yrs spent in Derby. I couldn't believe that you could get paid for doing the job. Even when i had to inspect the Gt Northern I'd be staying in Hotel, Resort or something just as good.
    Alas the family just weren't that keen on old Derby Town as i was. I miss it terribly.

    I was working in WA prisons when they did the DNA collection of all prisoners. The police set up shop in an empty room where I worked. All prisoners were given a choice by the cops - you can give it to us voluntarily or and then they'd point to the escort officer he can take a sample off you. The escort officer would just smile and the crims generally chose to volunteer a sample.
