Last night I discovered something which has to be one of the most unusual jobs ever - and one which I would never, ever be able to do. We had been invited to the Radisson Blu Hotel at Stansted Airport for a combined big birthday and big wedding anniversary meal. Delicious meal by the way
Realised I had cut the bottom half of the menu off the photo so here's a picture of the missing part - my most favourite dessert, lemon flan. With a scoop of lemon sorbet. Sadly, taking the photo was my second thought after it was placed in front of me. The first one was to dive in and eat a bit of the flan ...
One very unusual feature at this hotel is in the bar area. They have a wine tower and inside it is a gymnast whose job it is to acrobat her way around the tower and the more expensive a bottle of wine, the higher up the tower it is for her to fetch.
My photo doesn't do it justice so I will include a youtube clip so you can see her in all her glory
I wonder what the job description looks like ...

It's not my cup of tea either!
I saw that on an episode of CSI once. Crazy!
Umm? I don't drink wine...how would they serve me a Diet Coke I wonder?!!!
BTW, I've lost count of the times I've eaten dessert & THEN thought "I should have photographed that"...you are not alone!! :D
I don't think I'll be applying for that one either!!
Definately on my list of 'World's Worst Jobs'! Can you imagine just going up and down like a yoyo till someone actually WANTS something!!

..and I wonder how much she gets paid! I don't think they'd be interested in my skill level on that one. Great story!
Excellent. What fun. I hope you ordered a very expensive bottle
fascinating stuff- don't think I fancy that one though! x
Might not be something I would like to do, but I think it's quite fascinating watching them :)
Great picture! Reminds me of the performers for cirque de Soleil.
