"At the tender age of 13, my little hairless clockweights squirted their first dose of testosterone into my blood stream. The result was a mental alarm clock shouting, 'I NEED TO LOOK AT GIRL'S FANNIES.' I reasoned that if I became a Gynaecologist, I'd get to look at fannies all day.
"It was only when I reached the age of about 16 and learnt about STD's and yeast infections that I realised I'd only ever get to see diseased ones."
Tell us about your childhood career ambitions and the moment at which your aspirations crumbled into a pile of broken dreams.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be...A lumberjack!
Ah, but seriously... When I was very little, I wanted to be a scientist of some kind.
I stand before you today with failing grades in both Chemistry AND Physics.
From the age of about 13 to 19, I wanted to be in a band; in fact, I was. I was really upset that my dad tried to steer me away from all that.
Now I'm about to graduate from four years of a Journalism course, and I'm probably going to go into broadcast. The guys in my old band are still at it and hemorrhaging cash from every orifice, despite being incredibly talented guys.
On the other hand, I was two years below a chap who decided not to go to university and instead concentrate on his music career while working at the local M&S. I used to hang out around him in the school music department while I was in my 'band' phase.
He's just been signed to Kylie's record label and had a popular single out recently.
I don't know whether to feel proud of Calvin Harris or bloody jealous of him.
