A good thread indeed.
I’d have loved to have been more involved with photography in my early days, but spent too much time playing in a band and then playing way too much cricket.
As a cricketer I was far too aggressive for my own good (especially when I used to bowl) resulting in one or two batsmen getting hit and hurt. I do apologise for any serious injuries caused during those days although apologising here is pretty pointless.
The band was good, but we never used to get many groupies which was a shame. At that time George Michael was the big thing although his fame hadn’t spread to public lavatories in those days. If only we’d got a record contract back then things may have been so different now. A spot on X Factor as a judge beckoned I’m sure or even pop star longevitiy – the kind that McCartney has at age 70.
It’s a shame that McCartney is a s hite singer these days though and that would probably have put me off developing a career in showbiz. That and a possible lack of talent. (shut up panda…)
As for the photography – I’d have enjoyed doing that. Who wouldn’t? I’d loved to have travelled the world or even just Europe capturing all kinds of images through a lens. It’s a pretty lonely life is being a photographer, so finding someone to keep me company and focused would be great. I think that’s what I’d like to do – meet someone who makes me laugh and see the good things that are out there. That might just be the key to the kind of happiness which we’re all looking for…
