    Lol, if only such a thing existed (getting paid to essentially browse boards).

    Boards wouldn't be a bad company to work for though, I reckon. Working for a company wouldn't be many people's dream job though, I expect.

    I suppose one ambition of mine is to release something of unique, innovative and original artistic or technical value into the world - be it a book, album, film, computer program etc.

    If a job enabled me to do that and get paid for it, then I guess that'd be my dream job.

    How big is boards? Is it just a small Irish company or is there a boards.uk etc?

    There are several boards, like boards.ie, boards.jp and boards.us. There may very well even be a boards.uk.

    It employs a few full-time employees in Dublin. It's big enough to be part-owned by daft.ie

    oh yeah, .ie is wehre it's at. technically there's a nz one too, but you can't actually sign up to it, last i checked.

    my dream job... pro surfer :P lol, not in any way likely.

    my dream job is something that i don't have to put too many hours into, enjoy, get something out of, and that leaves me plenty of time to surf and get inked and pierced to my heart's content.

    so i kinda have all that right now. all i gotta do is un-injure myself and life is officially sweet.

    Preferably one of those high up PHD style lecturers that get paid a bomb for giving 4 classes or so a week, and have tutors to correct the majority of their work, after slaving away in crappy tutor/underpaid lecturer jobs with lazy students for about 10 years while struggling to get all my qualifications.

    Either that or social work.

    Airline pilot. Started private lessons till the money ran a bit tight and the costs went up and all these airlines going bust. :( I can still dream.
    No Uni for me though. Working as an engineer in training at the moment. Fresh from school. (should play the lotto)

    Nice one for that. I've watched a few of the documentaries on theffl on you tube but not that one.

    Thought it was mad when the voiceover was luke "he captured most of the animals here himself" then there is a cut scene to a crocadile and a snake!

    Wouldn't really want to be stationed there, would rather Marseille or even Djibitou

    Ye but he was still in the SAS (as far as I know) so he's still pretty tough.

    Don't understand why he did a survival thing in the ARA Islands tho. That was pretty sad.

    I saw this documentary once about a guy (Bruce something) who was God for a while. It didn't turn out too well for him if I recall.

    yes,but he has a reason IMO to not go the full length he fell ~ 400m when is parachute collapsed,he can sit in hospital eating through a tube and it's what we'd expect

    oh,and from what I know Ray Mears[he is a legend] but his wife left him as he was travelling and being ALL man for a bit too long

    [not whining am a big fan of both these guys .But put them into context]

    oh and a Farmer who codes computer games.We all know one of those now don't we?
