Following on from what Ant said do people (oldies that is) still have any ambittions, for instance maybe to be have the ashes buried under the pitch etc...? My ambittion is to remain faithful, resist temptation, always try to be honest and polite when I'm required to be. Oh and to go to the 2006 world cup finals with Amy, which will lead to some travelling and a placement in America, from there who knows.... And yes I suspect i have spelt it wrong

Rob, your spelling of "it" was spot on. In a career sense - although I see myself as working to provide for my family rather than having a career, and I think that is a pretty realistic assessment to be honest - I would like to work closer to home eventually, but a move to Birmingham may occur before that. Other than that I want to live the rest of my life in Shropshire. Preferably right here in Broseley, and in this house. And continue to provide a little haven from the outside world for my family. In 10 to 15 years time I'd like to think I will be sitting in the room I am sitting in now reading Lord of the Rings to attentive (or cowed) grandchildren. The necessity of bashing my brains out to earn a living means that many, if not all, of the things I would like to do will never happen, but there are always things on the margin that can be achieved - as long as I spy out the opportunities. I'm not too bothered where I am buried or have my ashes cast - but I hope that my family will have such a high regard for me that I will die in an atmosphere of total love. At my funeral I would like them to play three recordings: 1) Vaughan-Williams - The Lark Ascending 2) Stuart Dunn's commentay of Mickey Brown's two goals against Exeter. 3) The passage read by Tolkein himself from Return of the King from the chapter called "Ride of the Rohirrim" None of you are invited because I will outlive you all. Although if by some mischance one of you does survive you can oblige me by reading out my own favourite post from the B&A board: "There will not be many moments in my life that will match Jemson's second goal against Everton. It is up there with Kate and Ellie's births. I can recall every moment, and the unbelievable feeling at the time and the euphoria that lasted at least until the middle of the following week. My hope before the game was that we could keep Everton to below five goals. To start how we did and go in at half time 1-0 up was tremendous - whatever followed in the second half we would not be humiliated. As Woan stepped-up to take the kick, I thought to myself "This is it. He'll put in a good one." The marking at the front post looked slack and the free kick was delivered with fantastic pace. When the ball hit the back of the net it was unbelievable. I half expected it to be disallowed because this just could not be happening. Usually a cheer or a roar greets a goal. In the stands people were just screaming and shrieking with delight. The Riverside looked as if an earthquake was hitting it. The Broseley celebration at the back of the Family Stand was a family affair. I had jumped up when Jemmo scored and hit the top of my head on one of the roof supports. But that wasn't what was bringing tears to my eyes: the kids were jumping up and down together and hugging each other. " dad, dad we've scored haven't we? " said Ellie. "Yes we have my love. And we're going to win the game." There were plenty more tears in the succeeding months. Especially from Kate, crying in bed late at night after listening on the radio to another heavy away defeat, and bursting into tears when Boston scored at the Gay Meadow. If only all 11 players for the whole 90 minutes knew how much Shrewsbury Town Football Club meant to its supporters, young and old."

I have a several ambitions in life:
-My all time ambition is to own STFC, more realistically I'd like to see myself on the board of directors at some point in my life.
-I'd love to fulfill my potential; although this ambition is open ended I see it as more of a short-term ambition that can continually be updated as I spot more realistic goals and targets coming my way.
-To own a Porsche 911 Turbo, preferably in black.
-To work on Wall Street

I always wonder the oldest age of people who go to their first Town game and then get hooked.

She is 60 Sean, her first game was over 40 years ago, she decided to hell with what any of her friends thought, she wanted to see football for real, not just on the TV, she is so hooked, the main topic of conversation is now STFC

I know a lady who is 100 who watched the play-off final on TV. But 60 years old and attending the games and then getting hooked is tremendous.

I don't make any secrets of my age any longer either!! I did at first- when I first came on this site. I wanted to prove a point! I didn't want to be stereotyped. I wanted to be accepted for what I am- not limited by the year on my birth certificate. You keep learning and life is still full of exciting possibilities. It's not that bad to be older- because you realise what's important, and stop worrying so much about what isn't. The only trouble is- life is still exciting and every day is full of possibilities- and there's not so much time to do what you want to do. You just have to make the most of every moment!! I'm officially retirement age for a woman- but I got my qualifications for teaching children with specific learning difficulties quite late on- so I need more time to use them. I want to write a book. I want to use whatever I'm any good at, or qualified in, to do some good. And I love STFC passionately and whatever little part I can play in supporting the team, encouraging them, publicizing them.. whatever-I can do I'll do it. I'm sure there's plenty of people- women too, older than me, who love Football. (Delia is a wee bit bit older than me.... and she sure is passionate about her team!! ) I've met Meole Shrew's Mum- and she has lots of interests, and has a lot of talents.

Well, for me it would be...
1. To live long enough to see my grandchildren drive my kids to the depths of despair that my kids drive me and to wear the same contended smile as my Dad does now.
2. To grow ear hair that is long enough to allow a complete comb over (a la Scargill).
3. To sign on to B&A and see one whole page of threads that does not make any reference to the colour of the seats at the NM.
4. To see Shrewsbury walk out at Wembley in the FA Cup Final.
5. To win in point 4 above
6. To remember my wedding anniversary at least once without having to be reminded.
7. To commit every single line of The Life Of Brian to memory (about 70% complete)
8. To improve my Spanish to the point that I do not embarass my family.
9. To tell my dad that I love him (whilst I am sober!)
10. To tell my mum that I love her (whilst she is sober!!!)
11. To write a book (something in the style of Joseph Heller would be my rather unrealistic ambition)
12. To live in Spain (dependent on completing point 8).
13. To be content with my lot.
