I want to drive all the way around the coastal roads of Britain if at all possible, staying in hotels/BBs.

Jousting would be great fun I reckon, wouldn't have a clue how to start though. Don't even know how to drive a horse.

I'd love to have a go at boxing, not interested in the training, just throw me in the ring with someone and blatter away*

  • before everyone jumps in i know I'd probably end up knocked out but it's just something I'd like to try

Any kind of flying thing really.... microlight, gliding, learning to fly a Cessena, that kind of thing. Never had enough disposable income or been in the right place at the right time, hopefully one day!

Skiing ... I'm 27 years old and I've never grabbed the various opportunities I've had to give it a go! I really need to someday.

would like to drive an elephant, and wing walk and get to operate a large telescopic mobile crane with SSL and other funky stuff.


ideally I'd like to wing walk whilst riding the elephant on the plane wing as it does circles tethered to a super length jib. a man can dream.

Thinking about it, over the years I've taught myself guitar, learnt French, spent over a decade flying paragliders, windsurfed for a few years, done snowboard seasons in the winter, played footy, cricket etc, bungee jumped (never again), done canyoning, geo caching. Not bad really.

Sailing. I think the one itch I have left is to sail to a decent level. Maybe lasers, something like that for the weekend racing, I reckon that would be fun.

Gliding. I say I'm going to do this on my birthday most years. One day I'll manage it.

Drive one of those big dumper trucks. And a JCB. And a harvester.

Rallycross.

Paint a mural. I mean to do this soon.

Vinyl wrap a car. I've offered to do my boyfriend's but he won't let me confused

Fishing. It's crazy that I've never done this.

Plus lots of other stuff I'm sure smile

You can do mine. Really. It looks a little tired, needs de-scruffed and it annoys me that in the little carpark I put my car in, 6 of the 7 cars are silver. So you can do it red.

I can drop it by on Friday afternoon, pick it up Sunday. Thanks.

Diving with Great White Sharks

I had a friend do this in South Africa. He said it was the scariest thing he has ever done and actually pooped himself.

That bird on Google who appears if you search for 'French tart'. She's the one on the bicycle.

DO NOT Google this at work though. wink

I bet it's bloody scary! I don't think you can do it in South Africa anymore, but certain parts of Oz you can. I'm going to Perth soon, but it's banned there; it's available in Adelaide though, but that's not exactly just around the corner. Still very tempted though.
