Flmsprrw · 05/08/2008 12:06

lmao i'm done now too

Littlefish · 05/08/2008 12:14

Iorek - it's in Culture Vultures.

WilfSell · 05/08/2008 12:19

What exciting, thrilling freelancers you all are!

I want to be a mountain safari person, singer, ecological consultant or treasure basket expert.

Unfortunately I do not have any skills that anyone would wish to buy. Except, er, social research and teaching and I get paid for that anyway.

WelliesAndPyjamas · 05/08/2008 12:33

List looking good!

OK, so who has the time and the inclination to sort it in to cateogries with MNetters listed under each category???? I'd love to do it (I'm quite sad like that) but can't justify the time today.

Cappuccino · 05/08/2008 12:34

escape I am in the North West

I only have one client atm tho it is going very well

Cappuccino · 05/08/2008 12:35

lol tho escape most of the people I have ever worked with want to be in your job

redrobin · 05/08/2008 12:36

ingles2 · 05/08/2008 12:44

I'm an Editorial and Advertising Photographer

whooosh · 05/08/2008 12:46

escape · 05/08/2008 13:14

Cap -
I am ex West Yorkshire Playhouse, sheffield Crucible and, erm, Wakefield Theatre Royal...
never worked in manchester though, I think given time I would be.
Became Professional Expat Corporate Wifey after that and 'fell into' freelancing...

Cappuccino · 05/08/2008 13:20

erm

your surname isn't a bird, is it?

squeaver · 05/08/2008 13:27

Another PR consultant here

escape · 05/08/2008 13:46

No Capp... and now I'm I'm wracking my brains trying to think of somebody with bird like surname!
Been abroad now 5 years

Cappuccino · 05/08/2008 13:49

I used to review West Yorkshire Playhouse shows for a local paper years back

press officers' names were Crow and Finch at the time, both women

I'm assuming you're not the big blond bloke

Cappuccino · 05/08/2008 13:50

my first date with dh was at the WYP

Reece Dinsdale in the Revengers Tragedy

Hobnobfanatic · 05/08/2008 13:59

Another writer/editor here

43Today · 05/08/2008 13:59

I'm a newly qualified personal trainer - passed my last module last week!!!

Now to get the business up and running!

escape · 05/08/2008 14:01

I'm not abig blonde bloke no - but if its the same one I'm thinking of - he's the partner of the Marketing Manager, and now writing scripts for Emmerdale at the last count.
Can't say I miss writing copy for Contemporary dance extravaganzas that had neither been named nor choreographed.

Do you know an arts marketing consultant initials LB who's biggest clent was NB (lots of highly regarded Shakespeare adaptations.)
And what DID happen to jude Kelly...

Cappuccino · 05/08/2008 14:04

oh dh knows what happened to Jude

I think

unless it was scandalous in which case no

we know nobody actually

we live in hte middle of nowhere now

escape · 05/08/2008 14:11

I don't think it was scandalous, genuinely wondered what happened to the 'artslab' or whatever wnaky name it was she left WYP to run...
missing it all now -
fagging in the green room - falling out with wardrobe - the lot.

Cappuccino · 05/08/2008 14:13

looks like she survived
