    Head of my own private charity, anonymously picking out good causes and helping them out. It would be a real buzz

    Whenever I reach my goals the posts move.... Ultimately to own a few popular and decent bars around the world. But working a bar makes me happier than anything else I've worked as.

    Since I was 7 I've wanted to be an archaeologist but points got the better of me, as I was an exceptionally lazy student in school. Went back at 24, did my degree, currently completely my masters thesis (fingers crossed), and have various plans for what comes next. I know I'll never make any money but I think I have some adventures ahead of me.

    Besides wishing I had knuckled down in school a bit more I've never, for a second, regretted any choices I've made since, because for better or worse they have gotten me here.

    A farmer.
    I grew up on a farm and I really miss it. Nothing too big, just a few suckling cows & calves, loved feeding them in the winter time. Love the smell of silage, just to be my own boss and enjoy the great out doors.

    Light entertainment talk show host. Something akin to Mr. Norton on BBC, you get to meet and chat to a wide range of people (most of whom are interesting) and have the craic with them.

    Postman (like Postman Pat), could bring my cat along for the spin. Have tea, stop for chats and even the occasional farm hand. Oh that silly Peter Fogg, whatever will happen to him next! :o

    How do those spoofers keep a straight face when they get their pay cheques?! Steve Harper has to be my favourite. longest serving player at Newcastle at 20 years and sub goalie! Legend!
