If he's under treatment for depression now I would suggest he thinks carefully about getting a badge this job can really get you down some days !

I think depression is all part of the trade. :sad:

But the council will want to get their medical man/woman to look at his records before a license is granted.

That said I'm not sure a person that suffers with depression before they start is going to do himself many favours. :sad:

I just don't understand why you would feel like that. I find people watching very entertaining and drunken people watching even more so

Well toots...you could possibly be very tolerant...or easily amused...or crazy...or alternatively........many of us might just be plain ol' grumpy b******s!

Assuming whatever keeps you "high" whilst out working is legal :shock:

, you should bottle it...it'd be much cheaper and less harmful than anti-depressants (and it could even make you rich!). :wink:

I'm an easily amused, tolerant, crazy person. Not everything I do may be considered moral, but, it is certainly legal. You just have to look on the bright side, there is always one of those
