I've written and had published 8 local history books. I was also a TV critic a few years ago on a newspaper. And I'm only 40!! And no my real identity will remain secret. ;)

I worked in Portland Square for a while with a guy from Kerry and a girl from Cavan as part of the team, we were re from bar at the Langham hotel for singing Irish Rebel songs after a very boozy Christmas party, our English boss said it was the best night of his life :smug:

I was on TV and a newspaper article because I'd been aupairing in Boston at the same time as Louise Woodward(the english aupair who went on trial for killing a baby by shaking) and I'd met her one time over there. I felt like a bit of an idiot though because I didn't even know her, just said hello to her one time [emoji28]

I fought the law and I won.:hehe:

Seriously though at one time my School saw me as a decent Field Hockey Netminder.

Tbh it's the only thing I can think of as I'm pretty average at most things.:joker:

It's why being a Birmingham City fan was always my true calling.:joker:

I ended up studying Accounting and Finance at uni. after a fair few theological-sociological internal musings. It was nearly the death of me.

Yeah, don’t go down that undergrad. path unless you could definitely, absolutely-see yourself as a chartered accountant. Otherwise you’ll find it incredibly, incredibly boring and life-sucking. I did (the uni. experience for the most part was fine, ’though). If that’s what you studied at undergrad. level for no reason other than missing out/not bothering to apply for what you really wanted to do and not knowing what else to pick, counteract it somewhat by doing a Master’s in something you actually care about (if you’re up for it). You don’t want to be boxed into a nichely-nerdy audit-corner just because the last academic qualification you have is in something that you never really had any real interest in.

Or just get a job in something where you don’t have to showcase any Accounting skills (even cyber-security is far more expansive), even if-only for a few months. Don’t just cap it off at becoming a bookkeeper (not that bookkeeping’s a bad profession at all for what it is) or something else related to Accounting if it was never your thing. It took me ages and ages to get past that despite lots of external support.
