    Erm... for most of my childhood I wanted to be a doctor. Then at various other times I wanted to be a lawyer, I wanted to manage my own boy band, I wanted to be a professional martial arts instructor, I wanted to be in Hong Kong movies...

    I wanted to be a Gaurd for years, can't remember why now though. Think it was mostly down to the fact that my granny didn't want me too so I said I would to annoy her. I still remember her lecturing me when I was about 10 to consider being a nurse or a teacher!

    A helicopter pilot and Gilbert O' Sullivan in my free time when I wasn't flying.

    Hey, I was four, I didn't know there could only be *one* Gilbert O'Sullivan, I thought it was like a job or something.

    Then I wanted to be an astronaut - and still would except that I'm too tall to become a pilot (gotta be a pilot first see)

    Only if you want to become a pilot astronaut. Another way is to become a mission specialist, which doesn't require becoming a pilot. It's the route I hope to take.

    Speaking of Pandas

    One day a panda got really horny and went to a prostitute. After he had done the deed he was pulling up his panda pants and the prostitute asked for her money. The Panda said "I dont understand?" and with that the hooker took out a dictionary and showed the panda the definition of Prostitute - "Sells her body for sex" and with that the panda took the dictionary and opened it on the page where it said panda, showed it to the hooker and said "Yeah well Im a fcuking panda"

    The dictionary read.
    Panda - Eats shoots and leaves.

    I wanted to be a musician....

    I was too focused in my childhood I think, because now I am a musician lol.

    I reckon at one stage I wanted to be Nigel Mansell too..that was a little far fetched although I did have a Nigel Mansell watch...

    Good thinking - but what's the fun if you're not allowed steer the damn thing :confused:

    Eitherway, makes very little difference - I'm still too tall to get into a spacecraft :(
