I have two votes:

Les Hiddins (aka Bush tucker man): is actually in the Australian Army but spends his entire time wandering around the bush finding interesting things to eat and looking at cave paintings, nice

James Richardson: Channel 4's Italian Football correspondent, gets to live in Italy, watch loads of footie, and then present one one hour programme a week, which consists largely of him cracking jokes while reading Italian papers while eating a huge Ice cream. Lucky bleeder

The guy who does the bikini waxing on supermodels

James Richardson also presents other Italian Footie programmes on Channel 4, as well as writing for the Guardian, so his job isn't quite as easy as your hour a week suggests. I still want to be his glamourous assistant though.

The Bush Tucker Man eats grubs and bugs and doesn't get to take a shower much and his job appeals to me not in the slightest.

Glenn Hoddle, natch.

Bush tucker bloke may well eat bugs and grubs but he is a man who seem to genuinely wuv his job, so much enthusiasm, I wish I could muster one percent of that for mine.

Obviously Whispering Bob Harris has the best job in the world.

I read about a lady who worked for Edy's Ice Cream, who tasted ice cream all day; apparently her palate is so sensitive that she can detect slight variations in quality, so she taste tests every batch they produce.

That job should by all rights be mine - I'd probably end up weighing 300 pounds but it would be worth it.

John Glenn, natch.

I think you've missed out an ampersand there. You surely meant Gorman and Hoddle.

Jonnie, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jonnie's right, it must be fun to manage a football club with lots of money and zero expectations.

Tim, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Harumph.

Jonnie, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Q Who has the best job in the world?

This fellow is so obviously not a New York Jets fan.

Good answers, DJ Martian and Mista Hanle y....!

I'll also add John Peel.

Brian MacDonald, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Momus?

Maria, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Randall Poster--music supervisor for all the best recent soundtracks (Rushmore, Velvet Goldmine, Kids).

Arthur, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Satan

di, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought he just had the best tunes??

chris, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thank you Maria and Chris. You may just be right. I looked at the title of this thread and instantly thought, well, it has to be me, and entered 'Momus' in the find box, and there I was.

Momus, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Whoops, Chris was talking about Satan, not me! I have the second-best tunes.

Momus, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you're not cool enough to be satan, you're more like one of those thug demon kids jason lee used to beat people up in dogma.

Best Job in the World Winner Stung by Lethal Jellyfish in His Paradise Workplace

Remember the British guy who won the "Best Job in the World" as caretaker of a tropical Australian island, and now blogs about it? Nearly killed by poisonous jellyfish.
