Ideal job (if you could do anything!)

Post by **Mike** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 9:17 pm

What would it be? James Bond super slueth? Astranought? Architect? I think that my ideal job (apart from Architect) would have to be a Computer games developer. It would be really great to be on the cutting edge of game design. Just think of it, think of the fans man. . . . alright they would be about 13 and have more spots thant he average spotty dog but still!

I would have enjoyed being George Best's fingertips when he was in his prime *thinks longingly about 3 miss worlds and a european cup

Failing that I would like to be a 'successful' manager of Newcastle United and actually win something or be their number 9 - it would fulfil childhood dreams.

I would also like to have enough money to go and work voluntarily for the National Trust. There is something about the people there that are really nice and kind. They also seem to have absolutely no stress and are treated as ''experts'' and their views are rarely questioned. When they are questioned, it must be nice to actually have intellectual conversation.

I would be a very succesful author and have lots and lots of money.

Heh, I'd have to go with artist. Now if only I could get the few years off needed to train undisturbed, and a rich sponsor.

Computer games designer would be scary: 70-hour weeks are probably the norm. *shudders*

I would do talks and run seminars on photography, and in fact am currently in the planning stages of my first full day seminar for PentaxUser. It's a start! :D

Oh yes, I like writing articles and AD&D adventures and I guess I do that already, but not enough to earn a living.

Perhaps it would become a bind after a while, so maybe I should just have masses of Inherited Wealth. Yep, that's it.

You don't need to train for years to be a successful artist, you only need to have an interesting slant on life and a idea of how to express it. Of course the fuller training will give you a good idea how to develop you concepts and an overview of the history and significance of art generally (or maybe specifically).

I get an image of Brian from Spaced now. I really don't know why!

i'd be president of the world - no 4 year terms, no impeachments, just me ruling everything forever! bah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

also the guy who drills the holes into polo mints, that would be fun

Heh, I need to watch that series again. But I will not be smashing eggs and pricking myself with pins, thankyou very much. Hmm, Spaced evening?

Spaced was one programme that I could definitely not get into.

Being an author would definitely be a cool job. Seeing a book with my name on it would be awesome

Writing a comedy or soap script would also be interesting. I'd also enjoy being a poet.

Forming a pop group that defines a generation, era, or genre would be incredible - sex pistols, queen, rolling stones, beatles, nirvana, etc. To be such an influential individual would be incredible.

Spaced evening. That would be really cool. I just don't have the discs!

Spaced- classic! Talking of off-beat comedies, anyone a fan of the Mighty Boosh? Been watching the 2nd series on BBC2 recently- completely mad (but brilliant!)

Hmm, dream job...famous rock star would be nice from a financial point of view. However I don't think I could hack the fame part or having record companies trying to interfere with my music. I think I'll just settle for being a struggling musician instead...

I have seen one episode of that and it was trippy. It sort of reminded me of the wierd dreams people are having!

I will have to find out when it is on BBC and watch more.

THE BOOSH ROCKS! Sorry. We've got series 1 & 2 now on DVD, but I haven't watched all of 2 yet, as I'm saving it up a bit! I do love The Nightmare of Milky Joe, which was the one we made Mike watch.

I even set up a category for the Boosh on m'forum, but it was just me and Rob quoting bits at each other and being silly, which is I think the only thing that could ever happen if you start to discuss the Boosh as fans.

Actually that's probably our whole forum.

On second thoughts, maybe I want to get off my head on drugs and write surreal TV comedy. The Mighty Boosh is cool. If I had a DVD player, I might own it by now.
