Becoming a private dick

Hey, I entertained the idea of channeling my inner Philip Marlowe with some friends. Setting up a private detective agency, that is. I'm great with details and reading people, but my credentials ain't much. Connections I can probably manage. I 'm in Euroland, so the market might not be so flooded up here as it is in my American dream.. Please knowledge me or humor me, Soulstrut.
B/W I'm about to pop in Altman's The Long Goodbye, and just read a pretty excellent Chandler biography.

good luck!
Cheating spouses?
Disability fraudsters?
Complex international webs of intrigue and sexyness?
Generally speaking, it was intensely boring and monotonous work. The vast majority of her clients were insurance companies wanting to have a look at car accident injury claims - i.e. people claiming injuries so severe they cannot work, etc.
I would imagine there is some more interesting work out there, but it seems the insurance stuff pays the bills.
Yeah, this is something I need to consider. Anyway, interesting responses. I'll probably be in touch later on down the road, Junior.
Come on, I know you like that Long Goodbye cat food.
dude, you're so off base.
being handy with guns and using your natural charisma with felons are both indispensable skills
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll meet that Special Someone one of these days!
MY LONG GOODBYE is usually private when i get my Night Moves On in Chinatown.
My Body Heat of my Third Man is like The Killling on the White Heat that most likely takes a Big Sleep when im Smelling The Sweet Success on Sunset Blvd.
You are thinking of the other DC dude connected with Mingering.
In my younger days when I worked on my step fathers construction crew, we put a new roof on a building that housed a private investigation and security company, more Pinkerton that Marlow. The owner was shooting the shit with a couple of us one day and invited us inside to see the weapons room. I have never seen so many guns in my life. All kinds of crazy shit too, which had to be illegal. Most of the employees were ex cops too. It takes a scary bunch of douchbags to make a roofing crew seem sane.
I must add she doesn't have to "Put out." :D
No Honeypot
Occasional soulstrutter Secret_Chimp was a P.I., I think.
