Here's a bit of summer fun and maybe food for thought.You've released a genie from his/her lamp or bottle or rescued a fairy from a Venus flytrap and you get three wishes for your trouble.

Explain in a sentence or two what your wishes would be. As OP, I'll kick it off...

1: I wish to become and remain a perfect human specimen both physically and mentally. Existing illnesses and problems will disappear and I'll stay perfect regardless.

2: I wish for the ability to do anything I choose to the highest possible standard. For example, climb into an F1 car and beat Lewis, type at a grillion wpm, etc, etc.

3: I wish for flawless luck in all situations. E.G., A sniper will miss me every time, In a motorway pile up, I'd always be unscathed. Obviously the Prem Bonds/lottery outcome is always a given.

1. I would like 1,000 wishes granted for me every day, forever...

That'll do.

Although, I think there may be a downside to this, if I was to utter the phase "I wish I hadn't had that curry last night..." would it just disappear, or which orifice would it come out of?

1) A tail, and no-one thinking it was weird, but being pretty impressed. A prehensile one so I can pick things up with it. Probably furry so it doesn't look disturbing or get cold in winter. And that somehow doesn't get in the way with trousers or chairs or so on, and doesn't get caught in turnstiles or those scary glass gates at offices.

2) A really comfy chair for the lounge that doesn't make my bum sore.

3) The battery never going flat on anything I own.

That'll do nicely.

I see where you're coming from, but for me, if nothing was ever a challenge, nothing would ever be all that interesting.

I'd like to be a better driver/guitarist/engineer, but if I was the best, ever, anywhere in the world, without trying, I think I'd get bored, really quickly.

I wish people were no longer selfish.

Ditto intolerant.

Plus an end to all religions.

I wish that Margaret and I would be happy and in love, together.

That George Spiggot can't ruin it in any way for me.

That the initial contract I had with George Spiggot is null and void.

1. Suspend laws for a few days so I can ‘deal with’ a few people without the inconvenience of doing time.
2. Private island and permission to shoot anyone attempting to land who isn’t welcome.
3. Enough money to be able to escape the confines of normal life and be able to do what I feel like doing. ( I’m not greedy I’d just like to not worry about budgeting and trying to save a bit at the end of the month, don’t need millions).

Normally try not to dwell on these sort of things though as the fall to reality is a bh.

Reading that I don’t know how I didn’t think of it. I’d happily use up all 3 wishes to spend a while longer with my old dog. Keep the money and any petty acts of revenge etc. Some things are more important.

Perhaps but think of the unlimited smug points. You could also pretend to be crap at something then prove to be the best at will.

I'd wish for:

thebraketester's grandparent back
Drive it fix it repeat to have one last summer with his dog
dundarach to be happy with Margaret.

If I had a further three wishes I'd wish that Riley Blue wasn't so selfish and intolerant and Sporky didn't have a sore bum.

3: The ability to manipulate living tissue at a molecular level, mainly so i could cure my wife of her permanent crippling pain.

Jolly decent of you; I hope I don't sound ungrateful in suggesting there are more deserving causes (or that I'd rather have the tail).

This happened to me once, but not three wishes .

The fairy said I could have one of two things.

The first was a perfect memory, photographic and perfect recall. With this I could make a fortune in time.

The second was a twelve inch cock.

Anyway I can’t remember what I said next……..

I watched a documentary along those lines last week, it had leaping nuns in it wink

This was not a dream!

Many moons ago, when I was a biker, I wished for a hairy chest, a long legged bird and a Triumph...

... well the goose was lovely roasted and the furry suitcase fitted beautifully in the boot of the Acclaim.
