I was sure there was already a thread on this, but the search says not.


What are the things you want to do before you expire?

Mine includes have some sprogs, go to HK, Berlin & NY marathons etc

I'd quite like to buy a Spitfire or Lancaster, but that will be just a wee bit harder than the other points.

Mine includes
Fly (in) a helicopter (I think you need to be a qualified pilot before you can take helicopter lessons, so just getting in one is probably more realistic)
Visit Japan, China and Iceland, the Middle East and a host of other places
Live/work in the Med and/or the Carribean Islands.
Attain enlightenment (om ...) or at least be more chilled
Run my own "shop"

Just buy a trial lesson, my son had one for his 16th Birthday. You could tell when he was handed the controls as it was bouncing all over the sky. He loved it.

£00 for an hours introductory lesson, I'm thinking of giving that a go myself.

Own a Lotus Esprit
Learn how to fly and get my PPL

Too many to list but here's a few highlights:

- Travel the world (drive around most of it)
- Drive an American muscle car
- Go into space
- Go in a hot air balloon
- Go diving with sharks/dolphins, stingrays
- There is a few that will echo others like drive at 200mph and drive an F1 car etc

I have lived in China for 6 months, been to Japan 5 times - last October was the first time I had been to Kinki Region, and finally had the opportunity to visit Kyoto, thus fulfilling an item on my bucket list.

In all honesty, I do not really have bucket list items as such. More goals. I plan - at some stage - to study A level Maths and Physics (or equivalent) in my spare time and would like to achieve an 'A' equivalent.

The other is to get my Chinese up to conversational level (need to map my goal against the European framework) and to be able to read 'Dream of the Red Chamber' in Chinese. I can read a Chinese, but not up to that level (yet).

The one items that could be considered a bucket list that I will not achieve is to have anal sex with a Japanese schoolgirl. Japanese women have never developed a romantic interest in me; fortunately Chinese women have, hence why I'm engaged to a Chinese woman. I do not believe she would be open to the idea of allowing me to fulfil this bucket list item =/

Run my own business
Have a boat moored on the South Coast

And if this happens;

Preferably Tsubomi (NSFW - if you look up the name). In short, yes.

I had three
Fly- did that in 2012
Have a go on a unicycle- I've now decided I'm too fat and too old.
Have a go in a Lotus 7 or similar- Not around a track, just a little drive.
Quite boring compared to some.

Edited to add...think Kyoto is over rated, not a fan of maths or chemistry
