    just being allowed to play with my own projects and get paid a modest amount of money for it. From writing code to writing fiction.

    Possibly a little bit of stand up work on the side would be nice :)

    If I can ever be arsed learning that bass guitar I've had for three years properly I'd love to be a musician and songwriter but I don't think I have the talent or the patience for it.

    Hitman would be cool too. If only I hadn't been born with a conscience.

    Airline pilot. Always wanted to be one, never got out of the "phase".

    Going to Uni first, probably do Aero engineering in UL and then train to be a pilot after that.

    If a competition in the air corp came up I would definitely go for it and give it 110% but they only take on like 5 guys and haven't taken on anyone in last 2 years and Ive heard a rumour that it could be 2011 before they take on anyone again!

    RAF is out. You have to be a british citizen to fly in the RAF although you can work in any other position in the RAF as an Irish citizen.

    I was talking to a few guys in the air corp and I would really like the lifestyle, but there isnt a huge amount of flying involved and new officers start on cessnas once they are finished training and are given a crappy office job - in charge of the firing range for example that the more senior officers don't want!

    If that dosen't work out I'll get a degree and work for a year or 2 and save some money and borrow some more and probably go to Oxford.

    I know a pilot that flies for Aer Lingus and I was talking to her recently, she gave me loads of info. PM me if you want it because I cant really post it here.
