    1. This would be "Get married", but I don't think 10 years is enough for that, given my present situation. So I'll just say:
    1. Know what not being single feels like.
    2. Work in game development
    3. Not be living in the same house as my mother (with enough luck, this could be done before summer)
    4. Have a life (as in, have fun often)
    5. See Microsoft out of business (ok, I can't think of what more to write)

    If I think of any more, I'll add.

    No-one's told me that.

    Do you remember during the fire fighters strike in 2001? (I think that's when it was) The firemen asked for a 40% pay rise. John Prescott effectively told them to piss off, this when he'd only recently had a very nice pay rise himself.

    Why'd you wanna visit russia so much?

    I've always found it fascinating. Russia and Central Asia, more the latter, but the former I will fit in better. I'm hoping I can at least temporarily recreate the crazy scenes of the nineties in Moscow, head for the Urals, then down into Siberia before crossing over into Kazakhstan for a while.

    Also, I can tell an oppurtunity where I see it. People who know their way around Russia and the 'Stans are going to be very valuable in my field in the next decade or two.

    I'd like to have done the following:

    1. Bought some property in the city (preferably not a shed)
    2. Bought a car (preferably not a shed)
    3. Made a feature film which actually got a distribution deal
    4. Dated a Japanese girl (can't believe I just used the word 'dated' as a adjective)
    5. Seen Man City win a trophy (though judging by tonight, that won't be happening soon)
    6. Watched Radiohead live, plus the Flaming Lips
    7. Met the girl that I might, one day, consider......moving in with. :nervous:
    8. Told a boss to go fuck himself
    9. Have won something at a major film festival
    10. To own all my own film-making equipment

    Got to say though, all the buying stuff isn't very compatible with the filmmaking stuff, since all my money will be going into that.

    And by the time I'm 40, I'd like to have said to a washed up Leonardo De Caprio "no you can't have a trailer to yourself you jumped-up little fuck." I'd also like to have turned down an Oscar nomination. :yuck:

    I don't have a list of things, but I do have a pipe-dream.

    Start an ultimate frisbee academy, providing training from junior to masters, beginner to GB, women's, mixed, open, coaching courses, workshops on throwing skills, defence, handling, and providing a way to practice off pitch skills of team management, being a captain and being a good sideline.

    Be awesome, having training pitches, 400m track, a gym for power and stamina, indoor sports hall, and the 1st VII pitch.

    My top 10 dreams for "maybe one day" (don't really do ambitions).

    1. To find a job i like and am good at
    2. To be bagging plenty of victories on the local showjumping circuits
    3. To have a mortgage and my own place
    4. To have got myself to a higher fitness level
    5. To have found some inner harmony (or at least the on/off switch anyway).
    I'd like to say married with babies but the juries still out on whether that's really what i'd want.
