I am Spartacus. No, that's wrong. I am Allan.
I have set myself a target. I want to have £2,000,000 in the bank by the year 2010.
I believe in BIG goals.

I've done a stack of things in my life:

• I've worked on airborne radar systems
• I've been a busker
• A magician
• A dancer
• A writer
• A TV presenter
• I owned my own theatre company

I really believe you should try to do as many things as you can in this life. Experience all you can, visit as many places as possible, talk to old guys that you meet - get their stories, taste new foods, have mad passionate love affairs, have kids, make mistakes, win victories, get roaring drunk, break limbs in the pursuit of sporting excellence, be madly passionate about a losing team, have a nerdy hobby like yodelling or Morris dancing.

I have done many, many things - but I have never been wealthy.

I am skint right now. Poorer than a church mouse's agnostic and unemployed cousin.

I am going to have £2,000,000 pound in the bank by the year 2010. And I am going to tell you about it as I go along. I set big goals for myself, and I have an absolute conviction in my ability to always get what I set my heart on.

Until my next posting, be happy, be outstanding, don't leave the party till you are sure everyone's going to remember you.
