Re: What did you want to be as a kid?
I wanted to be in the RUC like my dad, or a soldier. I ended up being 2 inches short of the required height for male officers.  Went for the aptitude tests and medical for the Royal Marines, passed the aptitude test with ease and failed the medical because I didnt have perfect 20/20 vision. Ended up serving 5.5 years in the Royal Engineers, and now have the best job in the world.
Currently I'm Master at Arm's, on Andy E's Pirate Ship.

I'm in charge of gunnery, gunnery training (ships guns), skill at arms (lond and side-arms). Training the crew in hand-to-hand combat, and melee weapons training (when was the last time you saw a pirate without his trusty cutlass), and the enforcement of 'The Code' on the ships crew.

Actually, I worry about the bloke who owns the boat they live on. He has toys... He often invites kids on board...
Anyway, back on topic. I wanted to be Cyclops from the X-Men (he always seemed to get the best lines in the comics and cartoons), or failing that, a cameraman.. Didn't manage to be either.
