Yeah it had to be just right to do this. You should probably be somewhere...
1. Outta town
2. a place you'll never go to again
and you should probably only do it if they deserved it. Like bad service or bad food. |

I enjoyed your list! 1, 15, 19, 20, 30, 32 & 33 are all awesome feelings!
I should add that these are in no particular order, I don't plan on putting them in any order.
1. See Travis at the Barrowlands
15. see Muse live
19. graduate from college
20. go to a radiohead concert
30. see Belle & Sebastian live
32. see Franz Ferdinand live
33. drink absinthe
I almost forgot to say but they have two sister sites called 43 Places and 43 People. If you're registered on 43 Things then you're automatically registered on the other sites. That's why I don't have any places to go on my list |

cows are pretty good at looking out for themselves but they need friends so i'm gonna have a donkey too.
i'm gonna hold out until i finally get the croft that i've been promised by somebody though-cos if you are gonna have a highland cow it must be done properly

Haha, good idea! Hey, if you ever need anyone to come with you to Blarney, let me know. I've kissed it so many times we're practically in a relationship. |

It because when the site was first started, there were 43 days left until the end of the year. This was like... five years ago. I think it's based on the premise that you are to do one thing a day for those 43 days. But it went on after the first of the year. |
