100kg snatch? Dear gods! I can barely back squat that sort of weight and my PB for snatch is only 50kg. How??

As for coveting, I think that, as I get older, it's just time that I wish I had. These youngsters nowadays just don't realise how much of it they have. I never seem to have enough of it.

That feeling that your whole life is laid out in front of you and anything is possible.

Slippers & a warm, dry pair of socks after a wet ride 😀

I'm only 38 FFS 😳

Nothing odd about coveting her, Fankenstein!

Who is she?

I'd like a set of jars with organised screws/bolts/nails etc. ideally jam jars with metal lids screwed to the bottom of a shelf to keep them tidy in my shed that would smell of cuprinol and stale petrol.

Time, just more time - like a 27hr day or 8 day week or something.

It's my birthday in a few weeks, I'm treating myself to a day on my own ha ha

Being able to do a human flag, it's a massive step up from the front lever, i feel at the age of 52 it may elude me. 🙁

@tthew - can I suggest a Cayman, you can get quite a new one for £15k
Yes, you can. I assumed they'd be a fair bit more expensive than that, but I suppose they've been out 7 or 8 years now.

At 58 I covet 20/20 vision, a full set of fully operative teeth, no tinnitus, knees that don't creak, groan & crack, the list goes on.
You can keep your sporty cars & fancy bikes, gimme my youth back!

Socks and gloves that do really keep my extremities warm.
Muck boots, the merino lined ones.
A wood burning stove.
Really nice, firm pillows.
A nice cake and coffee at he end of a long paddle/ride/walk.

Benji > Unimog, it's about the only motorised vehicle on the road that gets me excited.

We had one of these parked outside the house a few months ago. The looks it was getting from kids walking past from the local Jr school says this isn't just an older person's covet.

a custom telecaster and a really nice amp... I can't play at all well and have no desire to be in a band which makes the wish all the more irrational

Nothing odd, just a T4 conversion and Scarlett Johansson.

twinw4ll, you inspire me. I'm 25 and am yet to be able to do a front lever. Good on you, keep at it and there's no reason you can't do a human flag at age 81...

Watch at 51 seconds.
