[Closed] Things to do before I'm 40.....

Butt rape a wolf.

I like wolves.... that also sounds a little too risky 😯

Not sure about the wolf thing...they're notoriously demanding lovers.

What about White Collar Boxing - if you live in London see www.badboypromotions.co.uk.

12 weeks training ending in a competitive fight in front of an audience.

😯 I'm a girl and a pacifist so not sure about that one either....

If you've never jelly wrestled with an attractive consenting female then I'd recommend it............

You're a girl? OK, that's my suggestion out of the window then!

and you'd wanna watch right?

what flavour jelly I'm writing it down?

run a marathon?
get arrested?
learn to fly\surf\a foreign language
a night on each of the class a drugs
have a car crash

no I was an equally consenting and willing paricipant, and it was a lot more fun than watching the royal wedding (which shows you how old I am)

live in a foreign (non English speaking) country for >12mths

A threesome (if you've already done that, then a moresome) 🙂

Get your tits on the big screen at a festival 😆

@ 5lab

I'm doing the BUPA run on 15th May but yeah training for something proper's a good one I like that. New language I like.

Drugs and anything illegal not going on my list either want life affirming stuff

get some mates and a feral or at least big'ish dog.
stand in a circle with the dog in the middle
then play the briliant game called "touch the dog's arse"

Girls can compete in white collar boxing too!

😯 I'm not very competitive sportwise and a BIG HUGE wimp

Be famous for something, even if for only 15 mins.
Get your picture in a newspaper for doing something.

I like that one I could combine that with the flashing 😆 two birds one stone....

Try some things that you think you don't want to do / aren't into (i.e. the stuff up there ^^)

Maybe you've been saying no to all these things for all this time and that is why you think your life's been a bit dull.

Edit: have you watched "yes man"?

I've done some stuff other people wouldn't I've been in bands and done solo's (singing) at the Albert Halls (Bolton not London :D)

You are right though I need to say YES more!

Right so sod the list and just start saying yes to everything see what happens instead 💡

LEJOG.
Drive across the USA.
See the midnight sun.
Swim in the arctic ocean.
Juggle chainsaws.

run 40 of the peaks in the lakes or Scotland in 40hours nonstop!

Stop saying no. Life becomes a lot more fun (if a little expensive)

EEK! That's a biggy!!

Oh as an aside if any of you fancy doing any of these rides you do for a worthy charity if you're not already I'd love to hear from you!!

Ride the steps of doom - binners will show you how 😀
Do a bivvy night
Do some cycle touring
Hold a women only bike tour of Ramsbottom with/without pub stops
Get totally smashed in the Lounge - near morrisons then go for a night ride (I used to do this a lot)
Buy a single speed

You can come and do the Keilder 100 with me if you like. That's one to tick off the list.

First time I saw the term LEJOG I thought it was some pseudo-French term, "Le Jog", meaning something like "The trip". Even after I knew it related to riding from Lands End to John O'Groats it took a while to realise it was an acronym.

I'm still trying to find out what a Jogle is.

Hora. He's near you?

jump out of a plane
bungee jump off something big
abseil down a large building
learn to climb a 7c+ route
come face to face with theraposa blondii

Cycle across a foreign land (non English speaking and remote)
Write a book about it
Volunteer at the Para Olympics (makes one re-asses ones abilities)
Learn an extreme sport (free diving, ice climbing)
Rescue a big huge old dog (see other thread)

Why? Why the urge to do something just because you reach certain milestone?

Why not try or do the opposite instead i.e. don't do anything at all but be happy.

Or start giving all your things away and start to de-clutter your life.

🙄

break into a goth nightclub and swap all the uv lights for tanning tubes

I'm still trying to find out what a Jogle is.

YOU EVER BEEN TO THE TRAFFORD CENTRE?

Get a real job 😉

Liking some of the suggestions up there such as like abroad for >12mn and bivvy nights (with or without jelly)

How about
Appearing somewhere in a film
Finding 5 stw'ers who live abroad and going riding for a weekend with each group (ok, finances may kill that one)
