Still Waters Posted June 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Vincent Whittaker offers his services as an 'experienced' dragon slayer, willing to deal with any creature, small or large. Former call centre worker Vincent, of Clermont Terrace in Preston Park, advertises his services on the website Gumtree. He said he is hopeful the dragon slaying may turn into a full time career opportunity after receiving dozens of responses since the advert went online. http://www.theargus....s_his_services/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenemet Posted June 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I love the bit about his developing this after losing his job at a call center. The article's a hoot, and he sounds like a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:PsYKoTiC:BeHAvIoR: Posted June 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I was about to comment that he shouldn't quit his day job but he apparently lost it. He should apply for a position in creative marketing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asadora Posted June 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well, I had a google using the Dragon's Slayer name that was in the OP's linked article. https://twitter.com/Vince_Whittaker which lead me to here: https://therebedragonshere.squarespace.com/blog/2014/6/7/i-see-dragons-walking-around-like-regular-people The second link is a page of the responses the Dragon Slayer has already received. I adore the British sense of humour! Haha! Now, if I was this guy, I wouldn't hire myself out to slay dragons... I'd hire myself out to slay driverless cars! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted June 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Please note, Brighton pier is on the left, (out of the picture) along with the fish and chip shop and amusement arcade. This is one dragon Vincent has not slayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asadora Posted June 11, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ya'll are so funny;) Love the witful comments! I am considering emailing this Dragon Slayer to try to find out if he is 'for real' or he just thinks that he is 'for real' or if he believes that his sense of reality is far superior than ours. I wonder what he will do when someone hires him to come over and 'slay a dragon' and there is no dragon? What is the Dragon Slayer gonna do? Sue the client for making false claims, wasting time? Also, if you look up the phrase: 'slaying the dragon' in urban dictionary you'll notice that perhaps that meaning of the phrase is probably more accurate in regards to the current Dragon Slayer in question. You will have to click the link in order to see what it says, as I think it's a bit too crude to paste the definition on this thread. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Slaying+the+Dragon Maybe this is all a publicity stunt? That's possible too. Who knows?! But this guy put his crazy self out there and so the public should make use of it! haha;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
