Childhood AmbitionsHoratioFellatio writes:
"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.

Oh dearLooking at this question has made me think of all the things I have wanted to be at some stage or another. At various stages in my childhood I have wanted to be..
A top quality cricket player (I have played at both Lords and the Oval though so sort of achieved that, even if I was ten at the time)
A musicial genius (At seventeen I was in a musical collective who performed a live drum and bass version of tubular bells in the O'Neills pub on Holloway road on a friday evening in the late nineties, so that can be ticked too in a manner of speaking)
A journalist (I was in the Hackney gazette once)
Things I havent wanted to be and ended up being include
Being a sausage packer in Leicester (theres a euphanism there kids!)
A warehouse picking and packing monkey working with numpties who had more eyes than IQ points
English.
And what have I ended up doing with my life? Assistant office manager while training to be an accountant. Never saw that one coming if I'm brutally honest.
