What did you want to be...

[Bry Nylon]

...when you were a kid?

And how many of us are now 'living the dream...?'

 

[Frutos]

I wanted to be a professional football player (goalkeeper preferably), and no I'm not (of course, the fact that I'm not actually that good at football may be partly to blame).

I also had dreams of being the lead singer in a rock band, but I can't actually carry a tune in a bucket (spotting a pattern here, lol?).

 

[REDLAND]

I wanted to join the army, glad I grew outta that

 

[Da Man Clay]

Wanted to play pro football, I clearly am not that good.
Im happy with playing Sunday morning football though.

If you are local and free Saturdays may still be worth giving DW a call.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I dream of being a script writer and maybe an actor one day. I think the ship has sailed for the acting part, but I am determined to get some work published.

 

[Lammy]

I wanted to fly planes for the RAF.

 

[Meade's Ball]

A teacher read a poem of mine about ecological torture and the distress of modern air and decided i should be an poet or a dabber of the width of my emotions on papyrus with feathered dread. I listened, for some reason, and have always thought i could give up administration and unemployment and dole-hunting and silent street sweats to deliver a tome. Tome to you, as the Chuckle Brothers would literarily pun.
There's always something to blame for why i haven't and i sometimes think of things to reason why i never will. Mostly, i believe, i'll one day be a postman or a sour, hurtful binman who remains blackbagophobic for life.

 

[Trufflehound]

I wanted to be a ballet dancer from the waist down and a dalek from the waist up. And an AK47 at weekends.

Sadly I failed at the first two jobs, and was fired from the third.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i wanted to be a lead guitarist in a ROCK band


i can't play guitar


i wanted to be a footballer


i'm shit at football


ok then, i said, i'll play CRICKET


i'm only average at cricket



so i decided to do a TOWN PLANNING degree

 

[Goodfella]

I wanted to be a singer in a band or an outside broadcast cameraman

The first i achieved between the age of 17-23, but got nowhere, just played weddings etc doing 60's covers

The second i never achieved but have been a Film Projectionist for 30 years, so am behind a camera of sorts.

But more importantly i am extremely happy with what i have achieved, albeit not very much.

A commercial pilot.

You'd have made more as a pilot for a sitcom or a mini series. Those commericals only usually last 30 seconds.

He has a point, you know.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I wanted to work at gatwick...I have no idea what ( I got an interview as Ground Steward for British celedonian) But if I ever need a job after my mortgage is paid off and dont need shed loads of money, I would try and get a job there.

i fancy that job moving airline stairs and aircraft about.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

I found one of my exercise books from year 1 the other day, and it said "When i grow up, i want to be a nurse"

Meant to be at uni today for my nursing introduction - but been struck down with food poisoning!!!

But am living the dream

 

[Trufflehound]

Where on EARTH have you been?

Washing my hair.

It takes bloody ages getting the grit out of its fur when it's spent all week being chased around a track by greyhounds.

 

[Les Biehn]

A comic book artist. Then later a graphic designer. Now a film director.

 

[H block]

I always wanted to be a builder but have had to make do with working as a astronaut.
