So apparently in 6 or so months I'll be a fully qualified degree'ed up youth worker, and with this new found power and/or responsibility comes naff all in the way of getting free money off the government. What's that about? Haven't I given enough already? So apparently I need to get a job and earn some money. This is not terrible lost as I'm guessing early retirement would bore me, but this does raise the issue of actually getting a job. Doing a job I'm not to worried about, seeing as I've been doing a job for the last four years of my life, but to do a job it turns out you have to have a job, andto have a job you need to go out and get one. Something I have very little experience of. Therefore, I figure I can finally put this website to good use. You people surely know people interesting in employing a hip young youth worker. I surely know I can at least pretend to do the job! Everyone's a winner!
Here's the deal then. I'm a qualified youth worker with good references and a witty website in look of work. You find me some sort of job you think I'd be good at and if I end up in said job, everytime I mention it on this website I'll call it "The Job That XXXXX Got Me". I'll even point xxxxx to a hyperlink of your choice! Bargain.
And just to show I'm as good as described, here are some quotes from some young people about me:
"He's cool, seriously, like everytime I see him I go, GOSH, he's cool. How can I be more like him" - Stephanopolis, 14
"Whenever he speaks to me I seriously re-evaluate my life. Without him I'd be taking crack through my eyeballs while living in a box on the streets. Now I'm picking up my third degree from Oxford" Jerry, 12
"When he told me about Jesus it felt like I was being washed clean there and then. I can't express it in words, but it blew my mind. Seriously. I'd follow Mark to the grave. I mean Jesus. Yeah." Orthobert, 15
"Ever since I spoke to Mark I've never sinned." Natashasha, 17

Yay! Jesus in a pub! Finally back where he belongs!
YES!
I knew i was doing something right!
From those quotes, I'd say that you may be some form of messiah type. Have a look in the job section under 'm'.
As we've discussed before Paul piece, there is only one Messiah and that is my Lord and Saviour (and yours) Jesus Christ!
Of course Gareth! How silly of me.
Maybe mark is a pagan holy-man type then?
Mark is the Anti-Christ?
Stop arguing, start finding me a job!
Also, the position of anti-Christ has very little long-term prospects.
But you do get a time share in the holiday home of a fiery lake of sulphur
Wow, wow wow... Not so short-term... I mean, there's still eternal accomodation on offer, it's just not in the non-smoking section...
Also try under 'B' for Beast... Incidentally, could Antichrist come from Lebanon..?
Ahhhh, the Anti-Christ, now that's a topic for a rainy day.
Good thing Suffolk's a dry county.
...nar, let's wait 'til it hails...
Find me accomodation.
House/flat/room/floorspace/cupboard-under-the-stairs wanted for small, scarred magic boy. Well, not quite. If anyone's offering cheap accomodation/ideas in the Ipswich area for, say, the next academic year - do let me know. Phil (therealphilbrown@gmail.com)
Hang on, how many people read this website again..?
Suffolk? Dry? I thought you said there were pubs?
Okay, bad joke. I apologise. It's been a long day.
That wasn't a joke.
It was just some words...
your face is a joke
You tell him Phil!
At least it's funny, rather than tragic...
your face is magic
I'm delighted it's not pelagic.

Mark, if I came to Europe would you make a special effort to teach me about Jesus in a pub?
Because I might do so sometime next year.
