What is your life long dream? If you could achieve anything, something realistic, what would it be? So obviously not 'be Messi lol' or whatever, but whatever you would like to achieve preferably before you shuffle off this mortal coil. Maybe it is being a mental health champion, maybe it is writing a book, getting promoted to a certain level at work, completing a physical feat, visiting an exotic location etc.

Mine? Well I have been guilty of shunning my dream from time to time in favour of things like money, booze, women... but maybe lockdown has made me take stock of what is achievable. My dream is to write a screenplay that is not only optioned but produced into a feature film. Not trying to win any Oscars, my chosen genre is horror. Even if it was produced, released to general disdain and available in all good tat shops on DVD for 99p afterwards I would be happy with that.

I actually took Film Studies as a minor to my English Lit major at University, having bottled doing a completely fluffy arts degree due to the fear of it not being useful for getting a job. My current career has never required a degree so more fool me.

So what's your dream?

Great question.

I'd like to do something in life that would be remembered after I'm gone. Doesn't really matter what. Oh and win a Championship with the Knicks on NBA2K21.

I would like to foil a London Bridge-style stabbing with a Clothesline From Hell.

Mine might be this. I do fancy travelling more as well.

I don't have one.

This. Other than the retired at 50 thing maybe.

Yeah, not being time-tied to the working week is the dream. Probably not a realistic one.

My long term financial plan remains to win the euromillions, primarily for the reasons outlined above regarding owning your own time.

Being financially independent and having everyone else leave me the fuck alone. That sounds pretty ideal at the moment.

It's amazing how much more valuable time becomes the older you get.

Good quote I heard recently from Rumble Fish sums it up:

'Time is a funny thing. Time is a very peculiar item. You see when you're young, you're a kid, you got time, you got nothing but time. Throw away a couple of years, a couple of years there... it doesn't matter. You know. The older you get you say, "Jesus, how much I got? I got thirty-five summers left." Think about it. Thirty-five summers.'

- I reckon I've got one more promotion in me before the trade-off between money and time isn't worth it, so I want that before I'm much older
- I want to own a home somewhere warm that I can retire to - France or Italy probably, maybe somewhere on the coast in the UK
- Live in another country - moved from the UK to Amsterdam and you kinda get the taste for it. There's a few that seem like viable options: Barcelona/Madrid, Singapore, Vancouver/Toronto
- I'd like to run a marathon
- Get a dog
- Bonker long-term one that won't likely happen: space travel
