Things to do before you die...

    I've been planning gap year that I'm due to take beginning in June and it got me thinking about all the things I want to do... which lead me to a bigger question: what are the things I want to do before I die? :confused:

    If you had to write a "bucket list" (i.e. a list of all the things you want to do before you "kick the bucket") what would be on it?

    1. Have sex with Mary Harney. No one else has! *Willingly*

    2. Stay alive!

    A few sexual exploits including also on a plane (no comment!)

    Haha surely people have loftier ambitions in life than to bed Ms Harney and kick a duck up the arse! Although both are respectable aims in their own right :D

    Probably too late to break in a virgin without being a perve (or without her being a minger) so I'm gonna say I wanna do Michelle Pfeiffer before I die (or she dies)

    By the time you get to a certain age, probably mine, you will have done just as much crazy stuff - if not more.
    Have fun but play safe. ;)

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    I am intrigued...
    On a training area, with a driver/trainer and a well built caged car.
    (Balance of lite car but strong main support structure with everything else un-necessary for the car to go, stripped out.)
    Quite a rush! Not a feeling like it. :pac:

    (As your actually driving the car, you think to yourself, I can't believe I'm going to do this! Afterwards and your getting out, you just break into crazy hysterics of laughter and think "I must be fcuking nuts" and have the biggest grin on your face from ear to ear.) :D

    Biggins, no idea who you are (Hannibal from the A-Team by the sounds of it :pac:) but you're a Legend Sir.

    I had my fun before second wife and kids came along. :D
    Mind you when I lost the first wife - my fault as they say, I couldn't stand the other fella she was seeing at the time (no kidding) - I sorta went a bit mad too and tried to make up for a bit ungained youthful antics too.

    I'll sit some day in a rocking chair and hopefully laugh at some at the crazy schite I've managed to do.
    Hell, I'm laughing already. I ought to be certified. :pac:

    You'll get there in your own way. ;)

    Prepare to die


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭vicecreamsundae


    mostly just visit/live in certain places -india, aztec trail , japan etc.
    would like to go to burning man.
    oh it's so cheesy but mayyybe a threesome, but IF i did, it would have to be a proper one FOR ME, with DUDES, not "my boyfriend wants me to invite a girl friend home" tripe.
    okay, i'd like to sleep with a woman too, but that would be a separate encounter.
    i guess there are some bands i want to see before i die too, but i've managed to cross most my favourites off my list by now.

    meh, none of them would reallly bother me if i didn't manage to do them though.

    Hoping to do that this summer with a few lads from college. :D

    Fingers crossed.

    I'd like to tour England more than Ireland.

    I always wanted to see Blackpool, Brighton, Padstow, Cornwall, Devon, Lake District, Cheryl Tweddy's Childhood home, White Cliffs Of Dover, Liverpool, drink Cider in Yorkshire etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    I have a new one which needs to be done this year (which may be unlikely cos of crippling debt :( )

    It's to go to Cuba, Obama has promised to ease the embargo, ie let american tourists in. Fantastic for Cuba and long overdue....

    But I would love to see it now as a time capsule from the 50's, using olive oil and sugar mixtures for brake fluid, ie improvising hard to keep these beutiful old cars running and no concrete and glass modern monstrocities

    It will all change in the next few years, and its not a pity cos you can't expect people not to progress to satisfy your own nostalgia but i would just love to see it as it is beforehand. Gonna find a way...

    Hmmm......

    I'm determined to go to Japan at some point, that place is in another universe compared to the rest of us.

    Have a threesome (2 wimmen and me, of course :pac: )

    Learn to drive and get a car (though on these country roads that may be my undoing and void the list :( )

    Skydive - It would have to be a charity drop, no way in hell I'm hopping out of a plane on my own accord!

    Have a fight with a monkey - I can't stop laughing when apes lose the plot, unrestrained lunacy! (though in reality they'd tear the skin of my face and probably nibble on my eyeballs! :P )

    Punch a celebrity - nobody in particular, just one of the useless ones.

    Fire a gattling gun

    And probably acheive something worthy to be remembered by like................I dunno.............invent some sort of washable toilet paper :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!

    Don't bother, i love the chillis, but having seen them live i'd advise listening to the cd, very disappointing. My recommendation - see Bruce Springsteen instead, best live show on earth.

    See the wimbledon finals, men and women- what a weekend that would be, also the world cup final (preferably with ireland winning!)
    Apart from that no other big thing i'd love to do, just loads of travel and having a larf:)
    Oh, maybe start a business of some sort, but without a definite idea to pursue, it would just be pissing in the wind at the moment!
