Skip Chick - February 2007
This month’s Skip Chick is Laura from Recycling Management Services in Cheshire! Laura, originally hails from Chicago but has moved over here after hearing the streets were paved with gold (Americans eh! – Ed), possibly.

Hi Laura! Can you tell our readers and little bit about yourself and what you do?
Well, I work as a Marketing Assistant for Recycling Management Services and I like to work hard and play hard. I also like horse-riding, deep pan pizzas and baseball – I’m still a Chicago girl at heart.
Chicago eh! I know a bloke called Paulie from Bronzeville on the South Side. Do you know him?
Er, no – Chicago’s massive. Nearly 3 million people live there.
Oh right! It’s called the Windy City isn’t it? Paulie is really windy, he’s forever breaking wind.
It’s not called the Windy City because the people who live there are flatulent. It’s just a windy city – the weather that is.
Ok. Have you got any strange or funny stories you’d like to tell our readers?
In 1998 a rich friend of my mothers, who’s just over 60 and very vain decided she needed a face-lift. So, after talking to a number of the world’s top surgeons she met one young London doctor who assured her that he could make her look at least fifteen years younger using a new technique he’d discovered. The technique involved placing a small screw behind each ear so that she could tighten her face once a week in order to maintain a fresh young look. Well, the operation was success and my mum’s friend was really pleased until September last year when she noticed huge bags developing under her eyes. So she travelled over to the doctor’s surgery and demanded to know why the bags were developing under her eyes. The doctor replied, "Lady those aren't bags, they're your boobs, and if you don't stop turning those screws you're going to have a beard!
What do you like about The Skip magazine?
It’s really funny and colourful. It’s not stuffy like lots of other trade magazines out there.
Before you go - Do you have anything you’d like to say to our readers?
Knock on the sky and listen to the sound.
Deep! – Thanks Laura…
