Ah, that explains several things   ;D >:D :P

(Wow, now I can actually say I have a police officer in my circle of friends; couldn't say this before because I do not know even one.)

Hello, Jochen ...

Since we are already OT (and I'm the moderator), I don't think Andi will mind if I continue with my self-exposé ... ;)

To stay a little on topic ... I am a psychologist! This is why I expressed a "hmmm" about Andi's discovery ... :)

When I started college at 28 years old, I had already had 47 different paying jobs!
These jobs ranged from a newspaper delivery boy, to a postman, a police officer, a pilot for the US Coast Guard, a teacher, and many more in between ... :)

A few years after I completed graduate school, I started my own practise with my wife, who is also a psychologist. We both soon realized that there was a real need in the area of Vocational Psychology so we started Career Management International, Inc. in 1976.

Soon after we began offering our career services (helping people to find out what they should do when they grow up), we wrote a trio of tests designed to assist people in their career decisions.

The test that became most famous is KINGDOMALITY®!

Kingdomality became a book last year and is published by Hyperion, which is the Disney publishing house. The Kingdomality book is now published in nine different languages and China has just purchased the right to print it in Chinese!

So, that's enough about me ... :lol:

All the best,
Richard

Thank you Richard for this self-explanatiory excursus sharing with us.  :D

I can actually recognize some correlation between "having 47 different paying jobs untill age of 28" and setting up a service for "helping peopel to find out what they should do when they grow up"; seems that you know what you're talking about, and obviously you seem to have found your profession.

hello this is moomic, alias Michael Moore  :)
Gordon sent me the thread so am happy to answer questions about myself and why i asked for help to get figures .I am new to this board   so i dont know may of you  .Yes i asked for help to collect figures for a nun who is helping set up self help clinics in rural areas in Australia which  for some areas is going through a  severe drought after 10 years  of low rainfall .I have been trying to source new and used figures for her as here in australia there is no playmobil distributor and so getting stuff is a o/s job.She got on to me as  i collect pm and sell a few items on ebay  > The reason i am doing this is helping people and i have family members who have had trauma issues in their lives and understand the importance of councilling treatment .And using palymobil figures makes it easier for people  to explain the situation and hence other people are using the figures like the bag the lady in germany is selling .
Most of the figures i have got for her i only charge shipping and cost values so yes i am not ripping her off .last weekend i supplied her with over 200 figures of which i have beens collecting from o/s for 3 months and about 1/3 were ones given to me as gifts to her so yes i try to look after her .
I am a 44 year old profesional fire fighter with 22 years service in my city fire service.I think i try to be honest and look after people  in my job and in life .I also am married have 5 children so work another job on my days off to support my family as my wife has bettled depression on/off for 5 years due to childhood abuse and so  having playmobil is my time to meet people all over the world and share life with them  good and bad .Playmofire (gordon) has been a great help to me as a freind and  with assistance in obtaining parts and other items i just cannot get here  in australia .
So if any board member thinks i have done wrong  or needs more information please email me anytime and i can send you the contact details of the catholic sister and you can verify my actions  by emailing her direct .
If you wish to look me up on ebay  please do my username is moomic and my ebay shop is called "playmobil Palace" and i have a perfect feedback from my customers and so its not a sales pitch but just to say give me chance to say something .
regards to all you  klickys from down under

Hello, Michael ...

In the past, Playmobil has been very generous with providing their toys to needy institutions. I suggest that you contact Mr. Brandstätter directly by email:
horst_brandstaetter@playmobil.de (Horst Brandstätter)

Tell Mr. Brandstätter that you are a fireman (and where) and also tell him about the institution and the name and address of the Catholic sister and her organization. I would be very surprised if Playmobil doesn't offer their help.

All the best,
Richard

Thank you for your news report, Andi ...

And, I apologize! This thread has gone all over the place.

Perhaps we should report it to a "proper" moderator ...  :-[

All the best,
Richard
