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