Silly plans you had as a child

[-:Undertaker:-]

What's a silly plan you had for when you were older, as a child?

I remember thinking that when I got a job, I would literally buy tubs of ice cream all the time and just keep eating it. As it so happened, my sweet tooth has largely disappeared and I rarely eat ice cream - I grew up. ;)

Anyone else have a story?

I used to always think I'd own a sweet shop, literally only so I could eat all the sweets, i wanted it to be a mini version of willy wonka's chocolate factory, but with only the sweets I liked (I like most sweets though). I of course had no concept of money but thought it would be really popular and full of people in 1950's clothing...

About twenty years ago, my cousin and I planned to go to Jamaica when I turned eighteen. Never happened.

another is when i was a kid i used to BIZZARELY love council flat towers from like the 1960s. thought they were so cool and said i would want to live in one when i was older on the top floor.

now i cheer whenever i see one being dynamited as they're clearly a menace to urban design and good planning

That's an exact description of where I lived for a couple of years when I was a kid, back in the late 90s. The abode itself was actually really nice, had an upstairs and everything. It was basically a house, only in a high-rise flat. I wouldn't mind living in a high-rise again, but it would absolutely have to be a modern one.

I'm in agreement with Prince Charles when he says that 60s town planners did more damage to our cities and towns than the German Luftwaffe.

Liverpool pulled down thousands of fine Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces and replaced them with 60s concrete towers, surrounded by a desolate park. It ripped communities apart and aided social decay - people stranded in these windswept places miles from shops/amenities.

I'm not sure I had any plans as a child.. probably become a game tester so I can play games all the time?

early teens I wanted to join the RAF but don't think I could ever do that now because niece/nephew

I also wanted a house and family by this point in my life, although I'll be buying a house this year I'm a few years behind on that one...

Just called my Mum up to ask what stupid stuff I'd planned as a child. She kept a list. She kept a god damn list.

I'll get a photo of it, but she read some of the weirdest ones out to me:


Plan to walk to the moon.
Planned to eat all the food in the world so not only African children were starving
I planned to own Apple before I was 13
I planned to be King of London (wtf?) when I was doing my geecees (apprently I didn't know what GCSEs were other than that they were an exam.)
My sister and I planned to open a pair of zoos. My zoo was Dangerous Den, where apparently the most dangerous animal I could think of was "a big dog".
it's depressing just how long this list is. I'll get it off my mum when I can.

I remember having a paper round in 2002-2003 and thinking.. wouldn’t it be great if I could get my £7.50 weekly wage in Habbo credits. This was however until I realised I could buy Habbo credits via my parents house phone and ran up a £300 bill using it. Oh to be young again.
