there I was doing my daily routine of glancing through job sites and I saw this one.
http://www.artsjobs.org.uk//index.php?i ... t_id=19155

It's a job for the Bureau of Silly ideas and they require a Production Manager. This is perhaps a tad off-topic but then I saw, and I quote "a talent for pie-fighting would be an advantage!"

I thought someone on here might be interested in it as we're all pretty silly aren't we?................aren't we?

Cheers
Sauce

I notice there is a Haliwell involved, the lady who is organising the events and advertising the job . . .

It couldn't possibly be a name from the same fine stock that produced the fantastic and gorgeous ' Ginger Haliwell ' who once famously asked to be Sploshed ?

:D :shock: :D :shock: :D

At last a job I'm qualified for!

Northumberland is a bit of a commute though...

I notice BOSi have a web site, http://www.bosi.org.uk , with a page under Other Silly Stuff headed "Campaign for a Pie Throwing League at the 2012 Olympics"...

Yeah - I was having a look around their site and at their Youtube videos. They do some seriously brilliant stuff!

The 'Shirt or Squirt' game looks promising too... and they're based in Brixton, a pie's throw from where I live. :D :P

I particularly like the radio controlled wheelie bins. There has been a lot of fuss about wheelie bins round here and it would make a great fete attraction.

The circus skills are pretty amazing too. Might tip off the organisers of St Leonards People's Day (or whatever it is called) and see if they can be booked.
