Cool. Sound very technical in a business way.

Darude I used to live in Aston, still quite rough?

Well I lived in Handsworth (next to Aston) for 17 years, three shootings on my road, my car broken in, dad's car stolen three times. Aston still has shootings...so yeah still quite bad...but improving...! :)

I'm a project manager for my local council.

I provide furniture to council tenants who have nothing. Is very interesting some times as we have some right dodgy people.

Sometimes do evictions etc etc.

If you ever watch 'life of grime' on telly and see the horrible homes they go into, well I have to go into places like that. Also the programme called 'balifs' we have to deal with people like that too.

Only last week I went into a house with furniture in that I provided and the place was a mess beyond belief, the girl was covered in scars and the guy looked like he was taking drugs, while I was there!!!

Also been threatend once or twice. Working in the housing section of a local council is certainly eye opening and I wouldn't swap it.

The atmosphere in the office is brilliant too. We have a great laugh.
