What did you want to be when you grew up?

For ages I wanted to be a chef then for a while I fully expected to become an internationally acclaimed Metal God. I now work in an office.

How did your dreams fail leading to your soul being crushed? Or did things pan out exactly how they were meant to?

 

a handsome bastard.

i only achieved the latter part...

 

Are you that guy from Anvil ?

 

I nearly shed a tear when I watched that film!! The lead singer ending up working at a call center was heartbreaking.

It made Spinal Tap look like a spoof on heavy metal bands.

 

I wanted to be an astronaut and make contact with extra terrestials and live in a parallel universe.

Unfortunately from an early age I was pretty well delusional and had multiple personality disorder.

I had a brief stint at acting but it did not pan out. I just couldn't stay in character.

Settled for building Aisle Rigs for a living.

Oh well, one can dream I suppose.

 

I wanted to be a gold prospector but that didn't pan out either.

 

It's never too late,you still have about 20 years to fulfil your dreams and my money is on meeting a extra terrestial!

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

 

ya nugget !

 

Thar's gold in them thar 'ills

 

I wanted to be a rig builder and live in Aberdeen but some **** from the South East of England beat me to it

 

No I just married one but that didn't pan out for her either

 

I had the most common dream, to be a footballer.

The sad thing is I could have really done it but I was so lazy I didn't train or practice at all.

It could've been so different.

Now I hit keys every day.

 

I wanted to be a globe trotting dj, ended up working in a disused stone mine which houses a fine wine warehouse as a stock controller

 

Interesting. Tell me more about this stock of fine wines over which you have control.

 

How did I know that would get your attention

Fine wine and champagne, over a million cases stored on two sites. I am responsible for two key accounts and many small clients.

 

Ok. How do we go about nicking several thousand cases?

 

Free.

 

Believe it or not it is more easily done than you think. Other depots of our competitors have had lorry loads of Cristal unloaded at a destination only for it to be a gang who have unloaded the lorry and then as soon as the driver is out of sight they have loaded it onto theirs and driven away. Lorries have also been driven off whilst the driver is making a drop.

 

I wanted to be a grumpy, lonely, long haired call operator for the Isme catalogue.

 

But soon to be a father Meds
