    What were your wild ambitions as a care-free young un?

    I wanted to be either a digger driver or a monk.

    did you ever achieve either of those two? digger driver = worthy aspiration!

    i used to want to be a post woman, i thought delivering post was really cool. i still do actually.

    also went through a phase of wanting to be a vet until i realised there was far more to it than cuddling animals and kissing them better.

    I wanted to be a garbage man when I was very young. Then after seeing Liar Liar for the first time, I wanted to be a lawyer.

    I'm on the dole now.

    and also you'll have to wear these
