Do you mean bodice ripping/dare doing stories or fictionalised accounts of real events? I watched 'Wolf Hall' and found it good but dry.

I've enjoyed a couple of series by Simon Schama but i've yet to read any of his books. I'm sensitive to real life gore so I avoid war books and films although i'd have liked to have seen the recent BBC4 Vietnam series.
I bought a History book by an author who comes across as very serious and earnest so i'm curious to see how he comes across in writing.

I would offer to collaborate on a Lord Flashman meets Moll Flanders bodice ripping,codpiece biting romp but it would probably earn £40 which wouldn't cover the cost of the fountain pen,ink and paper we would need

I always liked the idea of being a blacksmith, making medieval armour or weapons for films and the likes, maybe pagan jewellery too.

You get left alone most the time and I'd have arms like Popeye :0

Accountant. I have no idea where it came from. It's my favourite class on my course. I love doing accounts, it's so calming and fun.

To be Christian Grey's secretary.

Or if I'm truely honest, Mathew Perry's extra attentive PA...getting up all close and personal like.

But, if I must be practical- Matthew Perry's shoe shiner.

Or if I must be truely serious, just a general shoe shiner- for like the non God's of this world because I know my place as a 'normal'.

Pffft but this thread isn't about realities- therefore I want to be Matthew's PA, that he occasionally loans to Mr Grey when he's just about had enough of my mediocre shoe shining. Yeah. That's the dream.

Default Re: What job would you really love?

In an ideal world, I would love nothing more but to test out games. Or, become a streamer for video games. There would be nothing that I would enjoy more than spending every day on my xbox.

Or watching Netflix shows? I could do that.


I did want to work in education, either as a teacher assistant or learning support worker for a realistic job, though.

As a teenager I had a craving to work at HMV, doing shelf stacking and putting all the the CDs in chart order each Monday. I could have done it if it wasn't for having to meet actual people.
