I’m not sure why, but lately I’ve been hearing about Bucket Lists or Things to do before I die. As I approach 40 Years of age, I thought it might be a good idea to create my own list.
Please don’t read anything into the order of the list. These are just random wishes and desires that I have for my life.
1: Do a Job I love.
2: Get paid to take pictures or for a picture I’ve taken.
3: Drive a racing car.
4: Fly a helicopter.
5: Lose 3 stone in weight and get fit.
6: Get Married and Have a family of my own.
7: Buy a house with a garden and have a big kitchen table.
8: Get my missing tooth replaced.
9: Drive from West to East America in a Muscle car.
10: Drink beer at Oktoberfest in Munich.
11: Learn to play a Piano with some degree of skill.
12: Write My Will.
13: Play the tables in Vegas.
14: Write a book / Script and see it in print.
15: Go to Thorpe Park with other people that want to go and have fun on the rides.
16: Fast for 48 hours and give the money I would have spent to charity.
17: Visit the North Pole or Antartica.
18: Fire a gun.
19: Spend the day dressed as Doctor Who.
20: Go on a Whisky tasting.
21: Visit Japan.
22: Spend a day cuddling a Wombat.
23: Hire a Caterham Super 7 for the weekend.
24: Spend a week in a cottage at Portmerion, ideally getting their in item 23.
I dare say more to follow… Can you think of any?

Don’t know what you mean???

Well done! You’ve corrected your error and already achieved one of your goals. Now get on with writing that Will – I’ve got a template Will kit somewhere on my desk I can send you if you want. You will of course have to change it once you get round to no. 6 on your list, but I suggest you do make a Will before you attempt 3. 4. 17. or 18. (depending on which way the gun is facing).
Maybe I should change it to, learn how to fire a gun? Otherwise the list will be pointless unless I do it last.
Mr Oliver,
Long time reader, first time poster.
How has number 19 not yet been accomplished?!? I would have thought this had been completed as a matter of principal.
Puzzled from Perth.
I’ve only got a sonic screwdriver… I still need to find a decent Bow tie, 12 Jammy Dodgers and a Fez…
Alun’s got a Fez and Jammy dodgers is easy. Start looking for the bow tie and we’ll have this one cracked before your birthday.
Oh, what about the blazer… Ummm…. I could get this sorted for my birthday…
I’m probably going to regret saying this but for the day thing for your birthday why don’t we all go out dressed as characters from Dr Who? I think this will also have to involve alcohol.
That sounds like fun Sam… Yes, some sort of Alcohol will be needed. Still not sure what to do. Afternoon tea?
Lovely list & best of luck at the Vegas tables!
Maybe you should do that after the Whiskey Tasting š
