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.

    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.  
    • I haven't used them myself but I noticed recently that "Snoots" in Forest Hill is going unlimited primary care for £33/month, so basically a subscription. Easy access on the 176 from East Dulwich. I have no idea what it includes so read the contract! It's a chain but only 5 branches so not a mega corporate. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.snootsvet.com/find-us
