Go coasteering

Sea levels weren't as high as they could have been and our instructor was a bit of a tt. Leapt into the sea on his advice and on one occasion brushed against a big rock that would probably have shattered my leg\ankle.

Then having to run back through a field with horse flies in it and I also found I had very painfully sprained my trapezius a day or so later.

Never again.

I’ve been about 4 times and always seem to fk myself up. Mostly due to lads bravado and the instructors taking us to the big massive jumps. Would find it more fun doing loads of smaller jumps and actually seeing the coast than doing 5 big jumps all within 100m.

Did it on Wednesday and leant too far forward on the big one and bruised my ribs. Loads of fun and fked my regular exercise routine up

Really. I dislike travel , and hate holidays

Dunno why! Just really can't be arsed with it all, and can't wait to get back home

I have to go on a couple a year, but have managed to stay in UK for the last 7 years , I'm up and packed by 8am on checkout day.

Depends on the holiday for me. I’d rather go to work than have an all inclusive “beach” holiday

With some seething about the concept of a bucket list, how about having the opposite?

Ie things you'll actively avoid ecause..

They're too costly. Learn to fly/own a helicopter, collect renaissance artwork, have my own elephant polo team

Too painful. Having anaesthetic put into a face wound prior to stitching, and/or having a bone marrow sample taken.

Been there, done it. Chemotherapy

Can't be arsed. Festivals, build a trebuchet

You don't want to. trekking, cruise/river boat holiday, use strava, learn programming, wear a suit,

Have any more kids, mine are adults now but as I started young I'm still at an age where many are still having theirs; couldn't think of many things worse.

See my dad's widow ever again, the absolute manipulative, lying, cheating bh.

Cave diving or pot holing; why!?

Because I don’t want to spend a big wedge of cash on 2 weeks of just sitting by a pool? Then there’s the usual annoying and loud Brits/Yanks/Canadians that spend all day kicking the arse out of the all inclusive booze.

Add kids into the equation. They get bored and you have to spend a fortune on top to do something that’s not the pool/hotel beach. That’s if their body clock isn’t fked up and they wake like the undead at 3am on the dot and fall asleep at 5pm so you stay in the room all evening.

No thanks.

Drink. I can be more juvenile when sober than anyone that is drunk.

Maybe you ought to drink then, especially at work.

Talk to non-car people about cars, they don’t get it and are not interested and generally are just being polite.

[dai1983]

Anyway my list:

Disney Land
Madame Tussaud’s again
“4x4” crossover
Coasterring again
Dogs once my two have expired
Parachuting
At the moment I hate hangovers so have no interest in getting wasted.
Package holidays
Moving house again because it’s a ball ache and costs £££££
Love running but avoid it due to dodgy knee
Owning a manual daily driver. Bought my first auto and I’m a convert.

You don't have to do resort holidays, me and the wife don't (the thought of a resort holiday makes us shudder), we didn't do them with our kids either, you can quite easily save a chunk by booking everything separately, getting a nice villa or apartment with a pool and do days out.

Oh yes this, it's so awkward trying to explain to someone why you spend a fortune on your car and didn't "just buy a new one". Especially if they are just pretending to be interested.

Spending time travelling to see family who can't be arsed to make an effort for you. Like driving 3 hours and arriving in the early evening to find out there is no intention of offering a meal.

Going to Mcdonalds or Burger King. You would be better off just eating the money you would have spent. It would be more filling.

Having a dog. A cat is about the limit of effort I can put into a pet.

Beach holiday. I would much rather have a road trip to alps than sit on a plane for 9 hours and be stuck in a resort.

Social media, speaks for itself really. I'm not a narcissist (I think) so not interested in 'selfies' all that.

Why do you need to stay in the resort by the pool all day every day?

There are plenty of interesting places that do all inclusive, it’s not all the usual stuff.

If you’d rather be at work than spending free time doing what you want and with your family then I still stand by the thinking you’re doing life wrong.

Spoke to the owner of the place I'm working at the moment about driving to France and mentioned the TVR. He said he had one of those, said how unreliable it was, couldn't remember the engine size, thought it was a Ford engine and sold it for an Audi TT. Biggest regret was losing money on it.

Don't think I'll mention cars again.
