What did you wanted to be as a child ?

I'm seriously impressed Bago!

Hick's is my main adult hero, followed by Johnny Cash, Jeremy Paxman, John Saergant and Peter Cook.

Although when I was a kid all I wanted to be was my Dad. He was a farmer, tough as old boots, hard working and thoroughly decent. And although no longer farming he's still all the rest and my icon to boot.

Que?
I prefer Scott Adams myself, but you didn't see me write this.

Wow 32. I didn't realise he was that young when he died, I thought he made it to his 40's. Suppose I can't add now that I'm his biggest fan.

I wanted to be a footy player. Shame I was crap.:rolleyes: (and still am)

Hmmm - it's a toss up between Steve Austin & Eddie Shoestring for me



:D

i would have to say mi dad was and still is mine. he works 12hrs 5 days a week then 6hrs on saturday and ver conplaines wilstmi mum dose toss all and never shuts up

I'm 26yo and I still have a hero. Lance Armstrong.

When I was a kid my hero was Gary Glitter - had all the records, books etc. I wonder what he'd have been like if I'd ever met him.

Bit like Jimmy Saville. Allegedly.

I remember a teacher at school trying to teach me "who is the most important person to you in the world" the teacher obviously looking for the answer "me" to which I looked at her gazingly as if it was a trick question and responded "Glynn Hodges".

My heroes were Brian Cant and Karl Popper

I liked Brian because he sounded nice and kind, and I liked Karl because he wrote "The Open Society and Its Enemies" which I thought was a great critique of historicism and a defense of liberal democracy.

I can remember in the 1970's, aged 8, sat on my space hopper, watching "Mary Mungo & Midge" and thinking Karl was bang on - most Plato interpreters through the ages ***have**** been seduced by his greatness, and have taken his political philosophy as a benign idyll, rather than as it should be seen: an horrific totalitarian nightmare of deceit, violence, master-race rhetoric, and eugenics.

I quite liked Rentaghost as well, but that didnt have much to do with rationalism.

Superted and spotty:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

My hero was Gary Mabbutt, the Tottenham Hotspur captain. He was a type 1 diabetic (like me) and demonstrated that you can still achieve anything when you have the condition. It was really good having someone relatively high profile who could be an ispiration to me.

My heroine when I was little was a teacher I had at school. She was just perfect to me. Very cool, the height of fashion, very pretty and seemed to know EVERYTHING! It was the seventies and she reminded me of Farah Fawcett(!!!) who I also wanted to be like when I grew up. Her boyfriend used to come to school to pick her up in a little red sports car - sooooo cool!! I've often wondered what she's ended up like.

The lord Jesus was my hero.

Ok I`m lying.

If I had one then it must have slipped my tiny mind because I cant think of one.

haha. That made me chuckle.

I grew up reading 2000AD, I would say my childhood heroes were Johnny Alpha and Nemesis the Warlock. Admiring footballers is all well and good, but I always wanted to be a mutant bounty hunter who could see into your soul before shooting you in half with a massive blaster, or an alien warlock freedom fighter/terrorist with a magic sword, battling against the evil humans in the distant future (hence my sig)

i wanted to be one of the original charlies angels:help:

me too, it was always jaclyn smith though who played kelly :)

I fancied She Ra when I was young, and the Sorceress off He Man :love:

Heroes wise, I've always been a big fan of the teachings of Bruce Lee, he was part of the reason I took up Karate at 14 and then again when I was 28.

Avril Lavigne

:hihi:

Robin Hood. :love:

KEVIN COSTNER! :love:

Oh no!!! It has to be Errol Flynn!I saw that film as a kid and wanted to be like him. But I was also very keen on Tarzan...

Later, when in my early 20s, my hero was, and is, an obscure man who rejoices in the name of Anicius Manlius Severinus Torquatus Boethius (c.480-524). Look him up if you are curious to find out about him. I've published a number of articles about his abiding influence in Europe.

PMSL! :lol: :lol: *Falls off chair laughing*

Wonderwoman!!!!!

Virgil Tracey from Thunderbirds,Windy Miller and Skippy:D

My heroes were always footballers, first one was mitchell thomas for arsenal when he scored one of the most legendry goals you would ever be lucky to witness against liverpool, then it went to Eric Catona as he was a master, then it went to Chris Waddle as i became an ite lol.
