I also used to tell people I'm going to be the next Nick Park... well my hairline is receding, so I'm almost there!
Careers you wish you'd had. Page 2
Supervisor of a lady bodybuilders' pump room(where they do their last minute callisthenics).
Journalist/writer. I always envy the TV reporters in places like the Ukraine. They actually witness history first hand. John Simpson is my hero. In interviews with him he comes over as a bit of an arrogant ass but still, I would love his job!

So er........did he er um give you one? 
A badge I mean! 
Weird no one has said Comedy Writer.
On the one hand, I would have liked to be one of those fashion photographers, spending my day surrounded by models and doing all that 'you're a tiger' stuff from Austin Powers, but then realised it's not very intellectually satisfying.
Then after seeing David Starkey on the telly, I knew what my job in life should have been racist old queer historian and philosopher. Once I had been given the official title, I could rant on about the same things I do on here and Facebook, but get paid loads of money and get invited on Question Time.
Or opinionated newspaper columnist, enough people accuse me of being Richard Littlejohn, wouldn't mind the £100,000 a year pay packet to match for writing bollocks.

A DJ, archaeologist or an antiques dealer. Now I'd like to be Mary Berry's cake taster.

Who'd want to work as a comedy writer?
I'd like to do voiceovers and adverts for huge amounts of money. While Stephen Fry is still alive this is very unlikely for anyone.

I'm not sure about anyone else but comedy writing was something I came to after other styles. When I was a kid, Roald Dahl was my hero and when I was a teenager, Quentin Tarantino and then I found comedy and slowly lost it again...

You could write very violent comedy for children.
Some sort of theoretical scientist.
Whenever I see those documentaries about cutting edge theories etc there always seems to be a group of faintly dysfunctional people all gathered in a building in the middle of Switzerland just 'thinking about stuff.'
Pretty sure I could do that.
Plus you get to where the same jumper for about a month.

I directed a commercial once.
"So, guv'nor, where do you want the camera?"
Possibly the most frightening question in the world.
