Decided I'd pitch in with my list. Or, well the beginning of mine:
1. Write & record a song. Doesn't have to be particularly good. Just have a recognisable beginning (intro), a middle (chorus) and an end (ehm, an end)
2. Work abroad. Anywhere abroad
3. Visit somewhere more complicated than a 'package holiday'. e.g. somewhere of cultural significance
4. Learn to take a better photograph
5. Fly in a Spitfire
6. Learn to skate backwards
7. Own a house with a garden, and more specifically a shed
8. See the Strauss New Years concert at the Vienese Concert Hall
9. Play my trumpet again. Just one more time. In an orchestra
10. Do something either crazy, impulsive or wreckless in the name of love
11. Be an extra in a movie
12. Drive in an American muscle car. Like a Mutang Shelby GT 500 or Dodge Charger or equivalent.
13. Learn another language, one that isn't "Pigeon French"
14. Complete the Clockwork Orange Pub crawl in Glasgow
15. See a show in Radio City Music Hall, New York
16. Hug a stranger
17. Protest about something I care about, in a march of some sort
18. Grow a really good beard

Off the top of my head
- Be an extra in a movie
- Write a song
- Travel to Japan & China
- Play in an Orchestra again
- Own a shed
- Have kids
- Learn to Cook properly
- Work abroad for a while
- run onto the pitch after a major sporting event
and probably loads more!
Fuck I had no idea I'd already tried writing my list. I typed my most recent list in complete isolation from this one and over a year apart. Good to see that a year changes nothing, and I'm still largely predictable. Roll on that shed it seems! |

LOL at Moray's goal of owning a shed. Moray, you need to add something to that list:
Have a dance off with Anne.
It's clear who would win (me) but it would still be great fun.
For real The Snakebite should be feared. |

I wouldn't normally say that, the Buxtehude-thing is special, lol. It's because nobody knows people living there, so it's like a made-up place on the moon or something ;D And sadly enough, a 6,5 hours train ride within Germany can be more expensive than a flight from Germany to Spain or to the UK :(
Haha, well, now you know someone who lives there! :oP
Ohh, don't tell me that! I really have to think on my scheadule and my budget.

you HAVE to go to Bavaria (Although, if you come in September/October, Munich might seem like "Little Spain, Italy and Australia"). Oohhh, I think your Europe-trip will have to be at least 2 months long just to "cover the basics" ;)
I wish I could travel for 2 months!! It'd be wonderful! But I don't even have enough money to spend one month there yet xD. |

If you were in Argentina, these two could be easily done in the same place.
I go to a few protests every year: in defense of public education, to commemorate the anniversary of the last dictatorship that killed 30000 people... These happen every year. The last one I went to was in October, in favour of a law to regulate the media. It ended up with everyone cheering because the law passed, hugging eachother and singing and pogoing to our National Anthem. It was so moving and so much fun at the same time! |

LMAO <-- pun intended
I can confirm that this photo is misleading and monkey does indeed have a bum. It is attached to his legs that, contrary to reports, do exist. No, I did not touch it.
I agree though that that dude put 0% effort into his signs. He was into it purely for the boob grazes. |
