[Other Sport] Bucket list items you're never going to achieve

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Do a tour of Europe with my wife. Sadly it will be just me now perhaps some mates will come

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Been reading this forum for the last 20 years and I'm pretty sure having/had killing someone on your bucket list is certainly in the top 10 most batshit things going! Goodness.

Quite a few places I'd like to go but one that I doubt I'll ever tick off is Toykyo

I had a massive expectation that I would die at 40, for absolutely no logical reason, I mean my parents both lived into their 90’s.

It’s very hard to explain, the feeling was utterly dominant. It made me utterly driven, I actually made a bucket list, although it wasn’t called that back then, in 1978.

I did them all bar one; I didn’t retire until I was 41.

I bitterly regret it now, looking back I can’t believe just how selfish I was to the detriment of my family.

I always wanted to walk from the most westerly point of the British mainland (BTW it's not Lands End) to the most easterly. Alas nowadays if I walk 200 yards I have to stop and rest to get my breath back.

Comb my hair into a rather lovely psychobilly quiff again….

(I can still shave the sides though)

It’s the tip of the Ardnamurchan peninsula, isn’t it?

Having enough sleep
Growing avocado tree
Losing weight

Never say never, but my overland from Europe to South Africa looks less likely as years tick by. Maybe once I've finished renovating my house in 202* it could happen. Maybe. Likewise, an overland to Asia.

It's a hell of a drive if you're running late for the ferry.

My impossible bucket list would be motorboating Kelly Brook.

 

[Beach Hut]

Smoke dope, be a drop out, eat loads of Pizza, think all my generation are like me and generally being a knob

 

[Deanbha]

Buying a house

 

[knocky1]

Travelling overland to India

I don't know you're personal position but think it's still OK. Iran gives carnets and Pakistan takes escorted vehicle groups through.

 

[Happy Exile]

Run the Marathon des Sables. I've done a lot of marathons and for a while this was a realistic ambition but injuries now mean it's never going to happen for me.

I've been getting a real fear recently of time running out. I'm in my late 40s and have so much I want to do that I won't consider yet I won't achieve, but at the moment can't because of family/work/life/other commitments. It's mostly long periods of travel overland and by canoe, nothing too extravagant and Mrs Happy Exile luckily fully OK with the idea. I keep telling myself it'll all be worth it when there are no kids at home and I retire and I'll finally have time to be selfish but know far too many people who don't have the health through no fault of their own (and sometimes aren't even alive) by the time they get to retirement age.

I only have one of those.

A sub-3 marathon will now most likely pass me by. I got close, 3:05, but this was 5 years ago. i'm now the wrong side of 50 and whilst I am still full of energy I am hampered by niggles brough on by tight muscles. A more realistic goal is to complete the majors....I just have Tokyo to go on this....until they carry out their threat and add more.

I've found that sometimes just doing things on the spur of the moment or because the opportunity presents itself can lead to events which are more exciting and memorable than bucket list items

Bucket list items, like dream jobs, can sometimes be underwhelming

 

[Official Old Man]

I watch these TV programmes like Gordon, Gino & Fred and would love to do these tours and arrive at a pub/restaurant and have a good evening. But tried it three times in the last two years touring the UK and it just doesn't happen.
Bucket list destination was Red Square but again, if I went there it would be 'yep, here I am, now what?'
Of all the things I dreamt of back in the 70's I have only one to do. Visit the Radio Caroline ship. Reckon to tick this off in 2022.
