Crossed Off The List

[Liquid]

Alright, instead of the mental masturbation of asking what you would like to do before you die, I am asking what have you already crossed off your bucket list? Things you have always wanted to do, and have.

- Watch Wrexham lift a trophy
[Twice in my lifetime: 2005 Football League Trophy at the Millennium in Cardiff and FA Trophy 2013 at Wembley in London]

- Go to an Iron Maiden concert

- Visit four UNESCO World Heritage sites, so far
[Pontcysyllte Aquaduct, North Welsh castles, Liverpool & the Acropoli]

[Half complete: haven't been to a GP but saw the street demonstration in London in 2004]

- See a football game at Old Trafford
[2012 Olympics: Brazil vs. Belarus & New Zealand vs. Egypt. This includes seeing Oscar and Neymar play.]

- Learn another language
[Excellent German, bit of Dutch, bit of Welsh plus the A-Z in British Sign]

I wish.

 

[daan]

This whole thread is about stuff you have done...

It's not exactly in code, Slash.

I must have misread then, I thought it was to post what we wanted to do.

 

[Dennisch]

Buy a V8. 2012. 👍

Go to the Autobahn and hit 300. 2005. 👍

Learn to restore cars 1999-201x. 👍

Yeah it got cut off in the quote.

Dates aren't something I remember we'll so Ill edit them in later when I've had a chance to remember better.

See a World Cup match (it was under 21's, does that count?) - England vs Brazil, England vs San Marino.

Jump from a plane (14'000ft tandem skydive)

Cycle up a mountain ( Doi Suteph, Thailand. 1500m over 18km)

Meet the Queen. ( National scouting event in my youth)

Make fire with no modern tools. (Thank you, Ray Mears)

Own a car

Eat crocodile/ alligator (not sure which)

Discover myself (this is a big one)

Get my road rash (you're no hardcore, filthy biker without it! Now including fresh, new scars! (Recent addition))

Sit in a fighter plane (operational Spitfire at an air show)

Be the lead in a rock band (invited to sing several Oasis covers by a popular Chinese band so I could impress my soon-to-be girlfriend)

Have my writing published ( very easy when you're father is chief editor of an international magazine)

Be completely free of meaningless possessions ( I'm 95% there, cut me some slack, it's not easy!)

Fire a gun ( My stepbrother's grandfather in France has a nice selection of shotguns, didn't manage to kill any game though)

Visit Shangri-La (wasn't difficult at all considering what I've been doing for the last 8 months)

Own a cat sanctuary ( this just seemed to happen when I started feeding cats from my kitchen window a year ago, now several live under my house and around 10 more come for regular feeds. They all have names and now my littles sister takes car of them)

Get lost ( if you're like me you never get lost but have often tried. I've navigated most of China using a compass, map and a 'hunch'. 24 hours in Chungking Mansion, Hong Kong and I had to admit defeat. The place is a maze.)

Develop Jedi mind powers (I'm still in early stages but its already rooted)

Experience total euphoria ( violates AUP to explain, but it wasn't drug related)

There are maybe more I can't remember, and certainly more I hope to tick off when I have the chance.
