Sounds like role reversal, I'm an engineer and I've got 2 dogs, 4 cats, 2 parrots, 2 snakes, 3 kids and a horse, all I need now is my own TV show! 
I wouldnt mind the pipe bender he uses to make the roll cage for the landrover.

He's got an half decent website just google his name. The E type nearly bankrupted them as a prodiction company, the final bill was over 60k. He is the chief vet for thr RSPCA.
Light travels faster than sound.This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
