Thread: Your Bucket List...

Anyone ever watch An Idiot Abroad? It is so funny..well he has a new episode, "The Bucket List," where he has a list of things he wants to do before he dies and that got me thinking(yeah, I do that sometimes). What would I want to do before I die? So I thought it would be fun to start a bucket list. So far I've got traveling to Israel.

What is on your bucket list?

What immediately came to mind wasn't the Pilkington atrocity, but the Nicholas and Freeman film. Good film, in my opinion, and this is a nice thread.

Couple of mine:

- Learn to fly small aircraft
- Barrel down an Oxfordshire country road in an antique sports car, sporting driving gloves, goggles, cravat and leathers, laughing maniacally.
- Publish a novel
- Assume membership, and eventually become doyen of the British Handlebar Moustache Club
- Visit every continent (I'd settle for bypassing Antarctica, though if the opportunity came along...)
- Attain fluency in one other language
- Take part in a realistic re-enactment of a British battle

Just one question for you, philistine, would that last one involve real bullets/cannons in your realistic re-enactment?

For me:

~ fly in a hot air balloon
~ fly in a zeplin
~ publish something somewhere
~ live in another country for at least a year

It'd probably be sans cannon-fire, but the broadswords, axes, shields and armour would be in full thwack. Then again, what I imagine being the only British death from cannon fire for several years would be, well, interesting. It'd certainly bring any previously unfulfilled literary esteem to my name.

~ Obtain a peg leg.

~ Own the USS Kittyhawk

~ Reveal my identity as 'Longshot'

~ Clone the Aztec army and perform a vengeful genocide of Spain.

~ Perform Seppuku/hara-kiri and live.

~ Scissor-kick Serena Williams in the head.

~ Laugh maniacally at someone less fortunate than me... oh, tick.
