Right, I have my list of things to do before I die, some of them are easily achievable, some of them are more difficult. Some are stupid, some less so. here they are

Learn to surf
run a marathon
see a rocket take off
see a tornado
complete a panini football sticker album
backpack round a foreign country
see water go down the plughole the wrong way south of the equator

whats are yours???

see water go down the plughole the wrong way south of the equator

isn't that an urban myth and the rotation of the water depends upon the shape of the sink

The old XL magazine had a list of 100 things to do before you die - I'd managed 13 of them. Sadly, banging a pair of twin Swedish air stewardesses wasn't one of them (actually, that may have counted as three more!)

Ride some big TdF mountains.
Teach my grandchildren to ride. (My kids currently 5 and 2)
Own a sports car
Try some expensive old malts

Pretty much the limit of my aspirations. I'm either lacking ambition or a contented chap.

ride the wall of death
save the world from the daleks or something similar

Try some expensive old malts
- my best mate and I had a tasting session rcently, including some 30 year olds. Highland Pak wasn't much better than the 12, but the Macallan was - i'm lost for words.
