An Architect, from around 0.3 years old had my heart set on it for many years until I was about seven years old then decided that I'd spill the beans on the Pyramids, who built them and why.Then discovered I'd be required to learn a language, totally threw me for a few years, then decided to myself that the stuff I was taught was complete bollox, developed my own system of mathmatics invented or rather rediscovered gravity theory. Can't write about that though, might meet with a nasty accident like the many people before me, still not the end of the world though is it, well not for three years anyway, I still think humans will survive, we did before, we'll probably do so again. If I was Obamah I save the meerkats first, I think they'd a good job for this little rock, I love dog's but they're too domesticated now, penguins may make it, they're quite used to the cold but got to be Meerkats, they're cute as well.

Always remember Meerkats may look bristolian, but check their fingers, five, they are bluebirds at heart one day in the not too distant future Meekats will replace the singular celled organism's of the left that run this percular outpost.

KEEP SAFE, SLEEP TIGHT, DON'T USE DEEP HEAT

Up until around 15 I always wanted to be a pilot or an architect, but when I turned 16 it suddenly dawned on me that skipping school and not doing my schoolwork put an end to those dreams.

Left school at 16 and become a apprentice plumber, went self employed at 19 as a plumber/events construction. Had some great times as you would spend around 6 months travelling and exploring lots of different places.

I remember finishing working on the Eisteddfod in Cardiff and I went to Los Angeles/Vegas/San Diego to celebrate my 21st birthday, a week after I got back I tore the cruciate ligaments in my knee and also the cartilage.
With me being unable to work for around 6 months and all the work I had lined up gone, together with the recession I felt that a change of career was the best option.

Successfully got a job for a insurance firm in Aberystwyth, I am know on my way to getting my diploma and am quickly working my way up the ladder.
Best decision I ever made, my family have always worked in Insurance/Financial services which benefited me greatly. Now I have a secure job, and a good wage, with the best yet to come.

Got a good job as it is.

But i'm trying the Navy to be a Pilot, been trying for 2 f*cking years :lol:

I will get there some day :ayatollah:


For those of you who see the forces as a "way out", think again.
I've wanted to be a pilot since the age of 13 in the forces, got the grades now i'm subject to a medical, fitness and aptitude (after passing an physcometric test) .

I initially wanted to be a swimmer but poor health stopped that. The training sessions (swimming 8 sessions a week) caused my kidneys to excrete too much protein so it was either stop swimming or carry on and get kidney stones before the age of 20.

I then focused on being a journalist but after doing a module on it in university realised I didn't want the stress so focused on communication disorders. Don't know what I want to do any more but communications and media is an area I'd like to go into.

It really is a bad time ATM, but persistance is the only way when you haven't got the advantage of being in the know.

Firstly sign up for a plumbing college course so that you have something practical to fall back on, secondly get someone to right you a top rate lick arse letter enquiring about plumbing apprentiships, ammend it for each plumbing firm in the Merthyr area and post it out.

Firms often keep letters on file in case they are looking for someone, you might just get lucky.

This is a question I'm asking myself now..
I want to join the army but I dont think I'm physically strong enough
I want to be a plummer but I cant find an apprenticship

its making me go nuts ahhhhhhhhhhhhh



not the best time to join the army mate, money shortage means lack of equipment and training, get yourself a trade mate


Shortage of equipment...perhaps yes due to being overstretched, but are never undertrained, British soldiers are known as the best in the world for a reason, the high amount of quality training!
