Sorry can't really give you much information about mine.

From school, went and studied Animal care for two and a half years, though i think i studied drink, drugs and women more. Kicked out of collage and home in the same day, was on the dole for a year before getting a job in a Hotel in Gloucester, live in. Moved to a sister hotel in Castle Combe a year and a half later, spent just over two years there. Then went to another live in job in a German Sheppard breeding kennels, that last 3 and a half years even though the manger was a psyco *****. And for the last 12 years i do the job i do now, started off at the bottom, and now a couple of promotions later work in the office of one of the biggest commercial breakers in the country
