I've found later in life I'm a decent writer and am currently writing for two football magazines. But I wish I'd have had the oomph or confidence to be a writer or journalist years ago. But when I left school it was straight on to building sites like my dad, and if I'd have said I want to be a writer I'd have been laughed at ! Still better later than never I guess. So what profession or career would you choose now if given the chance ?
I wanted to do comedy too, Daz, in a double act.Nurse or stand up comedian, although I did some radio presenting years ago wouldn't mind getting back involved in that either
I had great parents but due to their upbringing/generation they had limited ambition especially where work was concerned. You weren't expected to do more than they did,so that meant for me it was labouring,and my sister working in a shop.Didn't get the chance back then, BRR. Apprenticeship, factory, shop work, college or uni. That was it.
I would give my right arm for the choices they have nowadays.
Ages ago I wrote an act but never had the bottle to preform.I wanted to do comedy too, Daz, in a double act.
I would obviously be the straight man. Always also wanted a troupe, you know, like Monty Python or Not the Nine O'clock News, or Who Dares Wins, that kind of thing.
Physically lost it, or mentally?Ages ago I wrote an act but never had the bottle to preform.
Also I wrote a pilot for a comedy drama based on my experiences working in a care home, this was before gervais did the whole derek series, but I lost it.
Physically lost it sadly,Physically lost it, or mentally?
Would love to see it.
Same here. It was a pretty set path depending if you left at 16, 18 or went to uni.I would give my right arm for the choices they have nowadays.
Oh bugger. How annoying.Physically lost it sadly,
Was it that bad?Oh bugger. How annoying.
Don't know if mine is worse. Had 3 or 4 years work on a flashdrive. Screenplay, sitcom, short film scripts, play.
Missus threw it in the bin.
This was without her even reading anything. Just assumed it was an old drive (which it was) and because I had a new drive (the old one was full) she thought it a really clever idea to throw it in the bin.Was it that bad?

Typical women's logic!This was without her even reading anything. Just assumed it was an old drive (which it was) and because I had a new drive (the old one was full) she thought it a really clever idea to throw it in the bin.
She never reads any of my work.
Loads of money international man of leasure with a Rolex.
I've never really wanted to be rich or famous. Just comfortable. I'd love to be able to please myself. Little business ticking over, just not having to answer to some absolute cock that doesn't have a clue what he's doing but got to where he is cuz he knows the gaffer.I've found later in life I'm a decent writer and am currently writing for two football magazines.

Here we go.....Superstar dj.
You could be just like Joy!Also wanted to be able to buy struggling businesses and do them up and sell them on. That sort of thing, but never had the money or bottle to do it!

Yep. Something I keep telling my daughter, but she is always bothered about what other people think, her friends and peers. Really hard to shift her from that position and mindset.My son used to play the drums in a band years ago,he was really talented but jacked it in. I should have encouraged him but didn't,so I'm just like my dad in a way. I'd tell any youngster now if your good at something just go for it and don't worry what others say.
Never thought you was a comic type oh wellI wanted to do comedy too, Daz, in a double act.
