I'd say it makes you a bullshitter. Have you considered a career in marketing or advertising?

When I was 16 I wanted to conquer the world, when I was 30 I wanted to make a million, now I am 60 I'll settle for a CH/HW standard of living and the possibility of getting lucky with a 'sex worker'..............

At 15 I was an apprentice gas fitter but I wanted to be a trollop!

1970 a business man and became a greedy grasping arrogant short tempered disparaging ill mannered obnoxious divorcee!

At school I was a short 5ft 9inches and wanted to be 6ft and some more, I used to dream of being tall, then someone said "if you think big, act big, talk big, eat big, you'll be big....I practised and became a loud mouthed over bearing fat dwarf!

I wanted to be

1) A professional tennis player,

2) (if I could have time-travelled; a spy in WW2)

3) An actress.


I didn't manage the first two.


In between acting and still dreaming of being a spy, I work as a Legal Assistant for a huge firm of solicitors in the City.


Not quite the totally creative lifestyle I had banked on.

    • Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones.
    • I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)
    • Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
    • Are they like the 'Gilets Jaunes' with BTL mortgages?
