17ish years old and had a summer job as a summer scheme leader. In the first week we took a bunch of 6-10 year olds to a balloon festival. I counted them off the bus then back on and only realised when we got back that the small crying child wasn’t one of ours.

Not me but my brother used to work for McDonald’s, pressed a button that said ‘do not press’ and about 2 seconds later the entire place was covered in foam. Everyone had to be evacuated and the place was closed for the day. Safe to say he didn’t come back the next day 🤣🤣 https://t.co/9KQQze4LC6

Set fire to the wet lab. One colleague, calmly, through the smoke, played Prodigy’s ‘Firestarter’ on the computer while I tried to extinguish 20kgs of dried seaweed. https://t.co/bzxV0dFAdZ

This was almost a huge mistake. I was playing Reverand Hale in a run of ‘The Crucible’. I have a 30 min gap between scenes so I would go to the dressing room. One night I fell asleep. I woke up to hear the actors on the tannoy about 30 seconds from my next bit. Barely made it.

I stood up the prime minister, deputy prime minister, the Chairman of the Conservative Party and the Chancellor of the Exchequer for dinner in 10 Downing St. They all stood around for ages apparently until Ken Clarke said he’s obviously not coming, and I’m starving, so let’s eat.

If I had to review a Meatloaf gig I would give it a 2/3 not bad.

Many years ago when a #studentnurse, I worked on a care of the elderly ward. I tried to manage time better by filling a sink and putting all the patients false teeth in together to clean. I did a fabulous job cleaning them until I had to give them back to their right owners 🙊

I once put up a poster on D wing in HMP Durham encouraging prisoners who were illiterate to apply to my office for classes. I had the piss taken out of me for roughly 700 years.

My wife had written 100,000 words of a novel, and I accidentally deleted the root directory of the hard drive.
