Re: Bodyguard

@Floydy,

Some relevant points.
However, not all by any means are ex forces / Police. Many are civilians who have undergone extensive specific training.

Assignments vary hugely.
Some are utterly mundane where neither you or the employer are in any danger whatsoever. Sometimes they are simply an expensive fashion accessory to promote the illusion of self importance.

However, some are extremely dangerous where you may not come out alive or uninjured.

Many people confuse minders with bg's - they are chalk & cheese.
Minders are normally larger guys, there for the muscle and intimidation. Bg's are generally highly trained pro's, who rely just as much on brains / experience, and unarmed combat training of varying types.

Re: Bodyguard

That's right, Fender. More good points there to back up my explanation. There certainly are many types of bodyguard indeed.

Re: Bodyguard

Someone at work mentioned this today. I will have to watch it on catch up.

Re: Bodyguard

I'm loving it . Watched both episodes today .

P.S . I went out on a few dates with a real bodyguard a number of years ago .....he was a handsome bloke too .

Re: Bodyguard

We have just watched the first two episodes, recorded whilst we were away, and I have to say that I found them gripping. I haven't seen such an exciting series for quite a while now.

Re: Bodyguard

Richard Madden, David in The Bodyguard will now go far.
Perhaps the next James Bond?

Apparently, he also has had problems in his own love life too.

Re: Bodyguard

I have been watching Game of Thrones for weeks now but had no idea he was in it.

Re: Bodyguard

He's an impressive actor, though I don't see why every man and his dog that suddenly appears in a big drama on TV has be be "tipped for the next James Bond".

Re: Bodyguard

Re: Bodyguard

He has no chance. Apparently, the next James Bond is required to be black.

It doesn't fit in with the original novels, of course, but PC-ism knows no bounds today.
