One day I would like to...

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to go fishing and actually catch a fish.

[Henry P]

I've never been either. But it looks like an expensive carry-on

[Maryd.]

What? Fishing expensive... Not really.. A little, I mean you have to by the bait and if you fish off a pier or rock, it's not that expensive. Mind you it's harder to catch fish like that. It's best to take a boat... And that's expensive.

[Henry P]

my friend went sea-fishing and thought he lost his glasses over the side, then the boat owner found his specs in the pocket of his waterproof and sent them to him by post. He cauht nothing, then went to a fishmonger's to buy a cod to take home

[Maryd.]

Hahaha... So sad. But funny. I've never fished from a boat, just piers.

[Henry P]

what did you catch?

[Maryd.]

Thousands... Ok, nothing... But I tried.

[Henry P]

I'll have a go one day

[Maryd.]

Go, it's mind cleansing... You just sit and think... Good, bad, whatever... But think. It helps to calm me.

[bastet]

[Maryd.]

I'll do it Tsu. :)

One day I would like to not worry about cleaning house.

[Henry P]

I hate cleaning too

[Maryd.]

We need a maid

[Henry P]

I wouldn't like to have servants, but I'd pay a cleaner

[Maryd.]

I'd probably pay the cleaner and invite her over for drinks every Friday... Hahaha

[po37j4ck]

i would liek to travel the world and just do nothing but fun

[Maryd.]

One day I would like to do what the person above wants to do.

[Henry P]

One day I'll meet some enemies from the past and embarrass them in public

[John Ashleigh]

I'd love to be able to publish another book.

[Henry P]

Have you had one published already?

[John Ashleigh]

Yeah, a long time ago. I'd like to cancel that book and start all over again.

[Henry P]

I'd love to have a book published

[John Ashleigh]

You can self-publish?

[Henry P]

Yes, but who's going to buy?

[John Ashleigh]

I advertised mine.

[Henry P]

Did many people buy? What was the book about?

[John Ashleigh]

It was a collection of 114 poems written by the age of 16. At the time I was happy about it, but recently I have altered many of them, and even deleted some. So now the book is but a bad glitch, and I shall be stopping sales. At the moment I have about 65 people worldwide who own my book.

[Henry P]

That's quite impressive

[John Ashleigh]

It isn't bad. I think I shall do a series of books each being a different genre. That is what I'd like to do in the next 2 years.

[Henry P]

What will you do for a living alongside?

[John Ashleigh]

I haven't figured that out yet.

[Henry P]

So what do you do for a living now?

[John Ashleigh]

I am on benefits at the moment, and I do voluntary work. I'd like to do photography....

[Henry P]

Are you paid for moderating on this website?

[John Ashleigh]

No I don't get paid. :)

[Henry P]

Shame. What is it you do exactly?

[John Ashleigh]

I basically just police the site, making sure the community here is friendly. I can give awards and edit or delete posts and threads.....

I am just here to help. :)

[Henry P]

They're pretty friendly here, with barely any nastiness, as there is on other similar websites, like Poets' Graves where everyone is a smartarse who knows best how to write

[John Ashleigh]

Yeah I love this site - the atmosphere is nice. No one makes my job that hard, luckily. ;)

[Henry P]

I've not had cause to complain against anyone

[John Ashleigh]

Let us hope it stays that way.

[Henry P]

One day I'd like my poems to be published

[John Ashleigh]

Best of luck with that, Henry. :)

[Henry P]

But my poetry is too in your face for English tastes- I saw that at the poetry group I stopped attending. The head honchos there wrote shallow , elusive, emotion-evading ditties about buses and trains

[John Ashleigh]

I don't think your poetry is "too in your face" at all. You write conviction and heart, sir.

[Henry P]

Thank you. But if you look at the poetry which is praised by critics or wins prizes in competitions, it is very elusive and wispy, oblique and implicit. The English are more moved by the ability to control emotion than by the emotion itself

[John Ashleigh]

I think that is a matter of opinion. I'd rather buy your book if ever you get published.

One day I would like to record some of my songs.

[Henry P]

You write songs as well?

[John Ashleigh]

I do.

I play guitar and harmonica, whilst doing my best at singing.

[Henry P]

Are you on YouTube? You can't be worse than some on there

[John Ashleigh]

No, I'm not. Maybe one day I shall upload on Youtube. My guitar tutor has a song on there, though. He is good.

[Henry P]

There are many unsung talents around waiting for a chance

[John Ashleigh]

I know, there are some good singers on Youtube.

[Henry P]

yet Rihanna is a superstar

[John Ashleigh]

It must be her beauty.

[Henry P]

or lack of clothing. A Northern Irish farmer kicked her off his land where she was fondling her breasts for a video

[John Ashleigh]

Haha yeah I saw that on the news. I wish I was a Northern Irish farmer.

One day I'd like to know the meaning of life.

[Henry P]

I'm not sure there is one. We're here and that's it

[John Ashleigh]

I think many people would disagree. But to be honest, you are probably right.

[Henry P]

Make the best of it. Enjoy yourself but don't hurt anyone

[John Ashleigh]

I shall.

I'd like to meet Bob Dylan one day.

[Rea]

I would like to have a house on the beach in Greece.

[John Ashleigh]

That would be nice.

[Rea]

Yes, John, no heating bills, no hurricanes, beautiful surroundings, perfect for writing.

[John Ashleigh]

Paradise.

One day I'd like to go to Japan.

[Henry P]

me too. My daughter went in 2009. She loved it

[John Ashleigh]

I'd have to learn more Japanese first though.

[Henry P]

Many people speak English there

[John Ashleigh]

Well that would make it easier. Haha.

[Poets Muse]

One day I would like to................grow a rose, a white one.

[John Ashleigh]

That is a nice ambition.

I'd love to be able to help the world somehow. Perhaps I should try and invent something.

[Henry P]

Good for you. I'm too old

[John Ashleigh]

Too old to make a difference? Never! You are still in your prime sir. Plus you have moulded the young minds of England. That is an achievement.

[Henry P]

I'm not so sure

[John Ashleigh]

Have you any ambitions, Mr Henry?

[Henry P]

to live long enough to help my daughter bring up her children is the bottom line

[John Ashleigh]

You are a good man, Henry.

[Poets Muse]

Indeed, a very selfless ambition if only more people where like you...

[John Ashleigh]

What about you, PM? What is your ambition?

[Poets Muse]

To be a dentist

[John Ashleigh]

And I am sure you'll achieve that goal.

[lost&seaching]

Buy a big yacht and sail around the world then pick some remote hot island to live in

[John Ashleigh]

Sounds good....

One day I'd love to witness a cure for cancer.

[Henry P]

There's money to be made there

[John Ashleigh]

One day I would love to meet old friends....

[Poets Muse]

One day I wish to love and to be loved if not just for a moment.

[John Ashleigh]

One day I wish to love and to be loved if not just for a moment.

I am sure love is out there for you.

[Poets Muse]

Whatever, I don't care it was just something I came up with because I couldn't think of anything. I don't care about being loved, too much hassle for my busy, busy life.

One day I would like to....die. Not soon though but I wouldn't want to not die and live forever y'know. It would get tedious and boring.

[John Ashleigh]

I'd like to have more money - though I am not greedy.

[Ian The Poet]

I would love some money too.

[Poets Muse]

I would love a world where everyone liked poetry and emos wheren't spat on

[John Ashleigh]

I'd like the world to return to an era where poetry can lead a career.

[Poets Muse]

One day I would like to speak latin fluently

[John Ashleigh]

Why Latin?

[Poets Muse]

Because it was the language of the dead and it's awesome.

[John Ashleigh]

I'd like to learn Japanese fluently.

[Poets Muse]

I have a friend who speaks japanese...well some anyway. I can say hello but that is it.

[Henry P]

One day I'll learn to play our piano

[John Ashleigh]

One day I'd love for my dog to stop barking at the neighbours cat.

[Ian The Poet]

One day I would love to live in a dog free world.

[John Ashleigh]

Really? What about cats?

[Poets Muse]

Gasp in horror* A dog free world??? Why? Cats are alright as long as they're the kind that you fuss and not the kind that you feed and then it goes off.

[Barley]

One day I'd like to go to the Galapagos Islands, and see all the fascinating wildlife. Madagascar would be amazing too.

[John Ashleigh]

That would be nice.

[Poets Muse]

I don't care much for lemurs

[John Ashleigh]

I take it you are not an animal lover then, PM...

[Poets Muse]

I love animals but lemurs hold nothing for me.

[John Ashleigh]

Do you like spiders or snakes?

[Poets Muse]

I have 2 snakes so yes and I like spiders.

[John Ashleigh]

I'd love to own a lizard.....

[Poets Muse]

I have two neighbours that have bearded dragons that are related. One is called Gizmo and the other is called Frank

[John Ashleigh]

I am jealous.

[Poets Muse]

I am two but I know my snakes could beat them any day.

[John Ashleigh]

What kind of snakes do you own?

[Poets Muse]

.......

i'd rather not say

[Poets Muse]

It kind of takes the awesome out of them.

[John Ashleigh]

Any type of snake is appealing to me. They could be grass snakes and I'd still be impressed.

[Poets Muse]

Corn Snakes

[John Ashleigh]

Sweet. They have a really nice colour.

[Poets Muse]

They do.

[John Ashleigh]

One day I would like to see my mum recover from the illness she suffers from.

[Henry P]

Would you like to say what the illness is?

[John Ashleigh]

She has Polysistic Overies and depression.

[Henry P]

I'm sorry

[John Ashleigh]

She is slowly recovering but her mental state isn't good. It is at the point where I can't even talk to her on the phone and she can't leave the house to see me.

[Henry P]

be patient with her

[John Ashleigh]

I shall. :)

[Catt]

One day I will stop missing what I have never had!

[John Ashleigh]

One day I'd love to own a Husky.

[Rea]

My sister has a husky, and she is about 15 years now.

I would love to own a horse...one that gallops...

[John Ashleigh]

One day I would like to meet Bob Dylan.

[Rea]

One day I would like to sit down, and not think of today!

[Poppy]

One day I would like to do a whisky trail up all of the great scottish island distillers and down all of speyside.

I went into an Inn in Keswick and could not believe the amount of different whiskey on display dozens and dozens - apparently this was but a mere drop in the ocean (or glass).

Poppy ~xx~

[Richard]

There sure is a lot of them and I have a nice little collection myself. Had my parents even bring me a 28yo Bowmore cask strength from Scotland during their holiday.
My oldest bottle is a 37yo Glenlivet from the Duncan Taylor Rare Old collection.

It's a hobby of mine but I've yet to visit Scotland myself. :drunk:

One day I would like to disprove the existence of any and every deity.

[Henry P]

God knows how you'll do that
One day I'll return to Venice

[saeity]

one day i would like sit back and think....

[Thalassinus]

One day i would like to remove myself of all possessions. Remove the need to be more than what I am. Live in a forest, or by the sea, in a hut i made myself. Be happy every morning, for the reason that i am. Discard the want for things i do not need. Have more hope, but less feeling. Be less shy, and more happy in the self that i have made.

[Maggie]

Tomorrow ? to stay in bed until at least 6 am

A decade from now ? Getting our house paid off would be cool :)

after that ? To still be alive would be even better than the house :D lol

[faight]

Be able to live off room service for a year.

[John Ashleigh]

One day I'd like to travel across America.

[Stars&Pills]

One day, I'd like to make a living from helping people and the planet.

[Maggie]

One day I'd like to travel across America.

Nah... You all got better History than we do Mr. Ashleigh :) Take a trip across Europe

[John Ashleigh]

Nah... You all got better History than we do Mr. Ashleigh :) Take a trip across Europe

Maybe so, Maggie, but America has so much to offer.

[Poppy]

Maybe so, Maggie, but America has so much to offer.

Depends what you are searching for John!

[John Ashleigh]

Define the perfect landscape Mr. Ashleigh, and I can tell you where to find it. :)

I haven't seen it yet. I just guess that America would be the place to find it. It'll probably be a large sun with an array of colours with a landscape that takes my breath away....

I can claim none of them John ....

That's a shame - they're very inspiring and uplifting.
