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.

    • I read somewhere that it was to be an Orleans Smokehouse, opening in December, which seems unlikely
    • There are "plans" to build more reservoirs, with physical work yet to be started, with the first hoped to be completed by 2036, and a second by 2040, then time is needed for them to fill so add at least another 12 months on. However, if the 1.5 million homes are built by 2028, each averaging 2 people occupying them.(some will be more, some will be less) then thats 3 million people showering, bathing and using water.  Therefore there is a massive demand that will strain our current inferstructure between 2028 and 2037 (nearly ten years) plus all those homes will need electricity, as the ambition is to phase gas usage out, which will take just as much time to reinforce the network to cover, let alone add in the ability to cope with green production electricity that needs to be moved from wind and solar farms to where it is most needed.  Therefore, is the current plan to build more homes, regardless of where they are,  potentially going to have serious ramifications on already creaking networks ? 
    • SDCAS is doing important work and needs our help - please consider supporting them at this difficult time. 
    • Cheers for that. Surprising to see it's over 25 years since it closed.
