WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO ?

Sun Apr 25, 2010 8:53 pm

When you left School or thought about doing when you were growing up.
I wanted to be either a Boxer or join the RAF.

My Mother put paid to being a Boxer and due to being involved in Night Clubs from the age of 12, I ended up working in them till I was 36.

I wanted to be a journalist but then started to hate deadlines more and more. I wouldn't have minded being a swimmer but the money for that is awful. When I came to leave education though I wanted to be a writer and still do. Just spend all my time working and recovering now! :p

An Archaeologist but the fuckwit "careers taecher" insisted that I need to take O level latin. No says Willy, I don't wish to study the engerlish language, read tripe in the guardian, swallow the lefy agenda, I want to be a propper Archaeologist and show the world we were came from. He advised that with my mathmatical and analysis skills I should pursue a career in Architecture. Eh? Architects are the most braindead people on the planet thanks but no thanks, shove your school up yer arse. I became a grass cutter in Brecon Sewage Treatment Works and all the little STW's in the area, had a company land rover and everything, things went slighty astray though. I had access to numerous chemicals so spent my spare time blowing things up and perfecting the art of really blowing things up. Hey ho, such is life got yanked out to be a trainee Engineer, still doing it sort of. :mrgreen:
