    Ok, I'll get the teenage stuff out of the way first - gynecology, sex therapist, Porn star, rapist, serial killer etc..

    So far I've worked in a slaughter house, been a taxi driver (worse job ever), bouncer (one of the best jobs ever), soldier (meh, guess its a job I'm proud of), barman and waiting staff.

    Oh, and I'm a moderator :p

    Ok my choice - my needs are simple and few, I'd like to be a Dublin Bus driver!.

    Whats your choices?.

    (Wolfe Tone would like to be a famous freedom fighter, getting that in now).

    Pro footballer.

    Would love to know what it feels like to score a goal (preferably a screaming Van Basten style volley) in front of 50,000 fans who are simply ecstatic that you did.

    I'd be the lead singer of U2 but without the ego and save the world mentality :).

    Bit clichéd but an astronaut repairing something on the outside of the space station. Must be surreal just floating there with a view of the earth in the background.

    Probably something to do with books like a head librarian, wandering around thousands of old dusty tomes.

    Working in a pub as a barman would be nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 477 ✭✭toodleytoo


    working with animals, in an animal shelter or something along those lines...

    Mothercare.

    I'd say you get a lot of mental heads in there :pac:

    I'd like to be a travel show presenter, so envious of Kathryn Thomas, such a job to have.

    I'd be a guard and I'd scrap all my points and I'd fine every woman driver on the road who I don't like the look of, mainly blonde gold diggers driving merks/beemers etc. :)

    I'd give them all a hefty fine. See the look on their hubbie's face when they see that, wh*res.

    You realize you're saying "do" in AH? And given that you're a woman and you would do all the women you stopped... could we get videos? ;)

    That actually made me laugh!

    I'd run a backpackers hostel on the East Coast of Australia.

    A columnist for The Sunday Independant, and tell everyone about cold winds of change, begging like vagabons and exclusive parties before departing to the ski slopes and re entering the country with 4 pairs of Nikes (unknown to customs and excise) so I could pace up and down my shoebox apartment excreting inspiration.
