I wanted to be a Train Driver, and my Bro wanted to be a Ghostbuster - looking back, his idea was whay better than mine.
Kinda jealous really. :D
What about you? Any weirdo's out there? :p:
EDIT: Post number 666 - Phear me - :devsmoke:
A Mechanic or a Geologist .......:cool:
I wanted to work for the Forestry Commission .. but decided it was too much like work.
Didn't have a clue what I wanted to be as a kid.

What no supermen / women, members of the A-Team etc?
Im genuinely shocked!
A superhero. I was going to be Lion Man and my best friend was going to be Leopard Man. Toegther we would fight the forces of evil and fly like birds (come on, I was nine) between the skyscrapers of ... umm, Birkenhead and Wallasey ... :disturbd: :erm:

Oi! I am a Superman, I'll have you know (or at least that's what my mum says :) )

Haha,
Bananaman is a good one - i always loved that proggy. Good to see the superheros are finally coming out. Now where's Luke Skywalker, you know he's out there. :D
i didnt have a specific, but i would like to have been someone who was/is knowledgable, caring, thoughtful, intelligent, someone who got a job, had a steady relationship, have been positive, i didnt want to have flash cars or be rich, just be down to earth....

For me the idea of running around in tight costumes,spandex and tights sounded rather gay.......

Well - sorry to be boring - but I always wanted to be a nurse!
My Dad wouldn't let me, he said I should go into a job that was better paid - so I ended up as a Lab Technician! :Yikes:
After that I ambled through a few jobs and I've ended up as a Road Safety Officer! :disturbd:
Bit too late for me to re-train now though :(

But not, I hope, in the sense of, "Vous parlez franÃÃâ€*’§ais comme une vache espagnole. :)
I wanted to be a pilot as a kid. I switched to programming because I never thought i'd pass the physical to be a commercial pilot, and it was pointless trying to fight it. Private pilot licenses/flying are very popular out here (and cheap) so I might still do it, if I move out.

I wanted to be in the RUC like my dad, or a soldier. I ended up being 2 inches short of the required height for male officers. :cry: Went for the aptitude tests and medical for the Royal Marines, passed the aptitude test with ease and failed the medical because I didnt have perfect 20/20 vision. :cry: Ended up serving 5.5 years in the Royal Engineers, and now have the best job in the world.
Currently I'm Master at Arm's, on Andy E's Pirate Ship. :cool:

Taling about evilness, is it me or are rosie and jim clearly evil?
Actually, I worry about the bloke who owns the boat they live on. He has toys... He often invites kids on board...
Anyway, back on topic. I wanted to be Cyclops from the X-Men (he always seemed to get the best lines in the comics and cartoons), or failing that, a cameraman.. Didn't manage to be either.
I really wanted to be either a fighter pilot or a racing car driver, look where I ended up :rolleyes:

I wanted to be an RAF Pilot, but, wearing glasses put paid to that. I could have gone for selection as a Navigator, but I was so set on the Pilot thing, that I turned it down.
I wanted to be a soldier - then I finished military school and decided to do IT instead, with soldiering as a side line....
Still got to go to war though ;)

Rules are being relaxed now.
The glasses issue was only for fighter pilots, if you wanted to fly troop carries etc you could wear glasses, provided your eye sight was adequate without them.

thanks - I didn't know that, I think i may be too old, now, though ;)
i wanted to be a Stormtrooper - apart from getting shot at by jedi knights it seemed great u get a gun a funky (if useless) uniform and it gets you out and about in a galaxy far far away -
of course now i want some form of job that invloves ladies in bikinis running.

And unlike fighter pilots you can be blind as a bat because a Storm Trooper has never been known to shoot at a Jedi knight or a registered bona fide hero or heroine and hit them.

I remember it well mate, I was there for round one in 91-92.
Back again with 3 Commando Bgd, setting up safe haven's for the Kurds. Then 6 months in Sarajevo in 93.
Still, I miss being a sniper in a target rich environment.
