Fast food, by far. I worked in one over the summer, and people were constantly getting fired / hired.

Hehe...a record shop with good music?
You have two hopes - Bob Hope and no hope.
These days all the major retailers are paid to play crappy music by the record companies, you get a crappy uniform and crappy pay. 'David Brent' style 20 year olds making crappy managerial figures too...LOL
The upside is the discounted goods :) Oh, and when it's time to go home ;)

Hmm, fast food joints, grocery stores, etc. And the call center. I actually applied for a job there and I'm due for an interview soon, it's supposed to pay nice with great benefits, and it's easy as pie.
But generally, there's a lot of ''brain drain'' here. Young people go off to find work elsewhere, mostly west to Alberta and the rest of Western Canada. I would, but I'm to wimpy.

"call center" - i guess good english is required there + i doubt richard does gigs there often
hooker is a good option - no language barrier + i can hook around london and see richard's gigs often

They are big offices where people just answer telephone calls about gas bills, train times, insurance etc.
They pay shit money, work you like dogs and are notorious for not giving you breaks to go piss/shit. They should all be blown up with management inside.

Where our forefathers got lung cancer to digging the "black gold" that powered the industrial revolution. George Orwell wrote a very good account (Shooting an Elephant and Other Essays - George Orwell). As bad as his account is, it's worth bearing in mind that was last century, by which stage conditions had greatly improved.
I go to university near some of the largest redundant coal mines. Even now, 50 years on there's bugger all employment here.

You should just come here and claim asylum Tolstoy. Just give them some half-arsed excuse about being "repressed" and they'll let you in with open arms.
Every asylum seeker who enters Britain is given a new semi-detached house, a new car, a wardrobe full of designer clothes, the latest mobile phone and a suitcase full of £50 notes.

In Helsinki there is a *screaming* need for cleaners (janitors). If you don't mind cleaning toilets and mopping floors, Helsinki is the Holy Land for you :) ALso bear in mind the fairly decent electronic music scene... :)

Profession is not something women look for here. Or maybe in some yuppie bars, but generally girls are quite cool.

Sorry Nacmat. It was a reference to the British comedy series Fawlty Towers which starred Monty Python's John Cleese. One of the characters was a Spanish waiter called Manuel who's catchphrase was "Que?".
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be offensive.
