I have always really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really badly wanted to be a stormtrooper!! They are so cool.

I was searching on eBay and for just a replica helmet the prices started at £155!! :o

One day I'll turn to the dark side and then I shall splash out and have one!! Mu ha ha ha!

I also share this passion, i was so dissappointed when i discovered the very same thing.

Apparantly there is this club down near london, they are like a re-enactment group, but stormtroopers, they get hired out to star wars conventions.

They were at the premiere in london, could be viewed upon as being pretty sad though.

If this is solely Star Wars related then it'd be the restraint of mind when I see the Jedi's fire up the light sabres to not mentally go "Vvvvvoooommmm!".

If I can state things unrelated to Star Wars then I'd plump for a TVR Chimera...... now that just goes Vroooooooooom! :hihi:

I really want an endless pool. A small swimming pool which is like a treadmill for runners and can be fitted to any house. Allso can use as a splash pool or heat up and have the jets going to make into a big hot tub.

However with a price tag of £10k we won't be getting one

I always wanted a Fuzzy Felts when I was little. Never had one though I used to ask for one every birthday and Christmas for years until I was way too old..

Never got one ( and I dunno why they weren't that expensive dad!). So decided we'll have lots of kids and buy them the toys we wanted and never got.

Hmm, for some reason I could never get the hang of that either, all I ever managed to produce was "rectangle stuck to other rectangle, slightly off-centre, topped by semi-circle, also off-centre".

That off-centre business used to rankle so much. I think I never actually made anything worthwhile with stickle bricks because I spent all my time trying to work out whether it was possible to stick something on and not have it off-centre.

I've just realised one other thing I want SO BADLY but will probably never have... stickle bricks which stick directly on top of one another, centred.

Did anyone see the show where Jeremy Clarkson ponced about in a sportscar he claimed could evade the targetting system of an attack helicopter?

I was just praying that the pilot would "slip" and blow the curly-topped tw*t to pieces with a ground-to-air missile. :clap: :hihi: :D

I think a replicator (out of Star Trek) would be nice. I have this vision of sitting on the sofa shouting STELLA, COLD, PINT.

Though a holo-deck has potential, but I think I'd only use it for "rude" things.

As the stand-up comic said at the Star Trek convention: "They'd never have gotten me out of there as a teenager. Picard would have walked in on me potholing and demanded that I go see Councellor Troi. But this is Councellor Tori I'd reply."

A replicator would be nice as well...Tea, earl grey...nah, best make it a g&t.:clap:

No sorry Carmine, that wasn't the best explanation of what happens, was it! I think it is Lock Stock or Snatch? They nick loads of weed of a big black man then try and sell it back to him?

I'd like to live in St Ives, a derelict looking gothic mansion with a bit of land for the horses & dogs (worth millions of course)

Real smokey coil fires and bedrooms with big 4 posters and burgundy & ivory silk throws and just sumptous debauched luxury, books and music from floor to ceiling and have friends helicoptered in when they're feeling a bit glum to come and have a smoke/beer and just chill.

I'd have a fleet of cars no one else ever really likes, Citreon 2Cv's and such, and an Aston Martin DB9 (well come on...)

My Main transport though would be a little collection of motorbikes (i'd have bike meets and auto jumbles, and a bikers cafe etc too...in one wing :D )

Ahh...I'd also be able to NETWORK TWO COMPUTERS TOGETHER WITHOUT LOSING MY MIND....and relax...

Ooh, cancel the helicopter and make mine No 9 St Nicholas Court, St Ives. One in the block of a similar size but not as good view sold last year for a little under £1m. A bit out of my league, but a lovely dream.

And perfect health

And good eyesight

And weighing a lot less

And 3 inches shorter (still be 6')

And the ability to have babies

And hair that's either straight or curly, but not in between

Am I being a bet greedy now?
