Last month, there was a radio interview between Hardeep Singh Kohli and Les Ross:

I listened to it, and it was painful yet funny at the same time! Like an Alan Partridge homage, as the article says.

Listen to that if it interests you, then read this: (Which I sent to Hardeep himself as a piss-take of Ross)

If the BBC fired him, he can always go for an interview at.. Game. Yes, Game, the videogame shop. And here is how the interview would go:

MANAGER: "So, Mr Ross? Nice to meet you."
ROSS: "Is that a French accent? So are you British-French or French-British? Because it's very important to know these days!"
MANAGER: "Eh? I'm canadian if you must know. But I don't see how that is relevant."
ROSS: "Hehe! I agree with you!"
MANAGER: "... So anyway, what interests you in working for Game?"
ROSS: "Well now, Dominoes! What a classic board game!"
MANAGER: "Errr.. we sell computer and videogames, not board games."
ROSS: "Oh, well I'm British, so I'm an idiot and don't research anything!"
RANDOM BRITISH PERSON: "Hey! I resent that implication!"
ROSS: "HAHA!!! THIS IS GREAT FUN!!!"
MANAGER: "Mr Ross!! You're not here to have fun! If you cannot say anything intelligent, then please leave the-
ROSS: "BYE!!!"
MANAGER: "Idiot."

I think you mention Game and your shop more than anyone has mentioned any job they've had, ever!  :=

You must really be proud of where you work.

I dunno, there is this quite annoying girl I know who isn't very bright and bit "blonde", and she keeps mentioning her boyfriend's job all the freaking time. He's a pilot by the way.

But yeah, Manicmatt with his game shop is a decent runner up.

A while ago on the radio, a member of the Welsh cabinet claimed to have a pin on his map on Italy which read "Wops". He refused to apologise or retract the statement.

He was later asked to resign.
Ah! There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling!

While I'm proud to work for GameWorld, I'm in a forum about games so they kind of come hand in hand, and I only used Game in this example purely for the joke that the guy would guess a different type of game! So there.

Coming soon! Another 100 posts by me mentioning my job!

I had no idea it annoyed anyone..  :P

Wait, ManicMatt works in a game shop?

I thought you were not allowed to listen to the radio in your (here it comes) game shop.

ManicMatt

You remembered that, ha!

Well despite how much I talk about my job, it just so happens I don't live there permenantly, and thus heard this radio excerpt at home.

Matt, you can talk and post as much pictures as you like about your store.
At least you like your job at a game store, unlike this guy.
