    1. Fix hole in bucket.

    2. Enjoy life, including avoiding pressuring myself into feeling like I have a list of things to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    Nearly everything on my bucket list involves travelling. There's so many places in the world I want to see. I've been around Europe and America but I would love to go on safari in Africa, visit Thailand, china, Japan, Australia, new Zealand .... The list goes on and on! Don't know if it will ever happen, I'd need to win the lotto first.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 874 ✭✭✭cesc77


    I guess it takes a death in the family or a close friend before we catch ourselves on about what is important.

    Sorry,have just been to a few funerals recently and hadnt experienced this before in my life.Ive been lucky with the funeral thing up until recently.

    Probably not the best thread to raise the subject:o

    Not meaning to be morbid,really!!:)

    Mine is to learn how to drive. The mere thought of getting behind a steering wheel frightens me but I'd still like to give it a try. OP as regards your dad do it soon. My dad died almost 5 years ago and I miss him so much. Mend your bridges asap.

    I'm a keen mountaineer and would love to give Everest a crack one day. I'd like to think in about 10 years time I could be in a position to do so as I'm currently gaining experience with scaling higher and higher peaks.

    Did you hear about yer wan there who climbed K-2 and became the first woman to scale the 14 highest peaks without oxygen assistance?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    too able bodied to think of anything right now.

    i agree- my dads a jerk- he belittles my weight- my life, my choices- but if he died i know id be a shell of a woman, id be in an awful state- not because he was a prick, but because he was my dad and he was 50% of what made me.

    op if he died and you had not made up it would haunt you

    Lol I know, I'm in awe of people who do high altitude without bottled oxygen, its something I could never do, your putting yourself in enough danger up there without compounded the peril.

    dads can be cnuts,eh?


    YOURE father should not be putting you down like that.

    I think we all learn from the mistakes of those before us.

    Ps:just because he made you doesnt make him infallible nor does it make him incapable of saying sorry for those hurtful comments..Take care


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 104 ✭✭outtagetme


    16 years, and you can't go kiss the old fcuker????

    On your head be it. When he's a pile of bones you'll never get an "I'm sorry" or an "I love you" out of him ever again.

    First off I don't know your dad but belittling your weight is not on. As regards belittling your choices he maybe thought they weren't the right ones or not what he would do. Sit him down and say this to him. He has to know he's hurt your feelings and make it clear you'll not stand for it in the future.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,288 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Foursome,fcuk you all and your threesomes you guys ain't thinking big enough.

    Found my own religion,thinking Cloudism may be a good one.

    Tell some nasty people I know to go fcuk themselves.

    Fight an Elephant.

    BTW I am not drunk I am just a lunatic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭southcentralts


    would start a list but would only be depressed about not finishing it, also a little depressed about not doing any of the things on the list too I suppose.


    I guess fighting an elephant might cheer me up a bit.

    NICE.

    there's prob a reason why this man hasn't bothered to contact you in 16 years. I haven't spoke to mine in about 15 years too. The way I see it, you're better off without, although "he made you" he chose not to contact you.
    Go to Oz, or Hawaii instead! :) xx

    1. Skydive wearing a crotchless clown costume, high on cocaine, while on the way down doing a 69 with a similarly high crotchless clown. We land in Times Square and try to escape from the police on unicycles (for maximum crotch-less effect).

    2. Drive an F1 car down the M50 while flipping off every speed camera along the way.

    3. Break into a clamper's premises and clamp all their vehicles with their own clamps and weld the locks shut.

    4. Become a skilled cat burglar who doesn't steal anything, just breaks into people's houses and super-glues unusual objects into their hands while they sleep.

    Of course I can't do any of these things, so that's why I quit trying at life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 945 ✭✭✭a5y


    1. Punch the moon. Seriously, its been getting too cocky lately.
    2. Crash a ship into an iceberg while naked. Me I mean. Neither ship nor the iceberg are expected to wear clothes ordinarily, after all.
    3. Interrupt the minister for transport during the middle of a Dáil session to ask him why he's too good for public transport, and if that's not the case could I borrow his car and driver for the rest of the afternoon because I could do with buying some stuff from Ikea.
    4. Propose to an already married woman.
    5. When shot down, propose to her husband, preferably when a Catholic priest is in the room.
    6. Donate 200 balls of wool to 200 different cats on the run up to Christmas.
    7. Attend a new years eve party wearing clothes made entirely from chocolate bars and a pair of handcuffs.
    8. Buy a job lot of vuvuzellas and donate them to The Irish Deaf Society.
    9. Ask for volunteers willing to help with with items one through eight.
