    Wanted to be a pilot like so many others, wanted to be a pro artist too, but my first job was in photography, self employed. Studio, commercial and portraiture. Assistant and some solo gigs. Hated weddings. Loved studio work.
    Discovered there wasn't any proper money in it long term unless you were a Bailey or Adams. Ditto for art.

    Then trained in film post-production. Liked editing, liked timeline-based media - and lo and behold... into the fringes of IT I went.

    Photography's a hobby. Art's my plan B. I know I can do a lot better than many successful artists out there, maybe one day, rodders...

    Ideally I'd love to do something really, really well paid, where I get to travel to lots of cool locations, live it up on expenses and mingle and sleep with lots of fit women. Oh and it should also not involve hard work and be fun to do but simultaneously grant lots of power and respect.

    Always regret not doing astronomy. I didn't do it because they weren't any jobs. Did mathematics instead and graduated into the worst recession ever anyway in the early 90s... ended up with a first job in a call centre!

    I've done just about every job I ever wanted to do, except:
    1. Be an Astronaut
    2. Be an Archaeologist
    3. Be a Time Traveller


    Oh well, maybe there's still time

    I wanted to be a field marshall in the army or a king of a big country. Unfortunately our careers advice department were so rubbish, I ended up riding shotgun on a milk float.

    Whoops! Sorry, I didn't know what a fluffer is. Anyway, I'm delighted to see CUK normal standards resumed.

    Although I've just remembered telling the careers teacher once that all I wanted to do was to play football for England in the 1978 world cup. They didn't qualify, which was part of the reason it remained an unfilled ambition. The other reason was that I was only a county league player, i.e. too crap.

    I wanted to be a lighthouse keeper because I figured it was the easiest job in the world. All you had to do was to remember to not switch off the light when you went to bed and if you could do that they would supply you with a free house near the beach and I'd just spend my times watching telly and sleeping. Wasn't impressed when I saw one on TV being resupplied by rowing boat in a storm as I didn't like the food they were giving him. So i decided I'd run a pub so I could have free beer. So far I've not done either!

    You asked, I shall tell. Bung in a catheter, pop a funnel on the end of the catheter and pour in as much white coloured liquid (e.g. sterilised milk) as is required. That goes into the bladder; the trick is then to 'urinate' this liquid whilst erect.

    It isn't 'jizz'.

    Try buying newer DVDs. They tend to have a clean back, crack and sack these days. Or are referring to material intended for a gay audience?

    Oh no, I've already had two warnings!

    And I've not insulted anyone, called them a sockpuppet or called anyone a disgrace to contracting...
