    Small one that was with me in the really terrible illness years; to watch puffins in the wild.

    To find the right house to live in for these last years.

    To continue the work I still do ..ie die with my boots on;oh and to die out in the sweet wild air not in some bed!

    To visit Israel is something I'd really love to do, I hear it is such an amazing place.

    As a general kind of thing, I'd. Love to see man step foot on Mars, or make contact with another race. I think something like that would such a turning point in human history.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Technically blood is an organ ;).

    But if you don't get your bucket list sorted then Plan B is Whole body donation for medical research

    Buy a house for my family and decorate to my taste, exactly as I imagined it over the years. Retire happy and healthy after raising my family.

    Visit Rome, the Rocky Mountains, a cruise around Alaska and an Africian safari. Stay in a 7 star hotel.

    Do lots more travelling and make amazing memories.

    I'll take her out on my Honda CB400SF in exchange for some of this happy time in the bedroom? With her I mean. Not you.

    You don't have the guts. And even if you did (with alcohol or hypnosis etc) it would be a swing and a miss like that drunk Liverpudlian. And I'd love to see the target deck you though.

    The only thing left on my bucket list is to not kick the bucket for as long as possible.

    I never had a wish list and was one who just went with the flow. As it turns out, life hasn't left anything that I can say I'd particularly like to do or to have done.

    This is a great post. There's a particular poignancy to it, maybe the Puffin thing. I dunno. Breaking my heart, you are. I hope you get it all down soon :)

    At this stage,(I'm 48).

    To see the mortgage paid off. (Freedom!)

    Have decent disposable income.

    Maybe see grandchildren.

    A bit of travel & with the health to do it would be the cherry on top.:)

    Honestly don't have one if we're taking the interpretation of bucket list as I understand it.

    There's no act of travel, pursuit or achievement that I can think of that is so important to me that I would have left it this long to fulfil. My only wishes are standard vanilla stuff like me and my family staying healthy.

    I'd love to see a volcano kicking off, whether it be from a helicopter or a safe distance on ground. The power of it would be something you'd never see in your lifetime I'd imagine.

    A few things on my list, mostly travel related:

    - Travel around Australia
    - Road trip from New Orleans to Memphis (or other way round, not too fussy)
    - In the unlikely event that they ever re-formed, to see Talking Heads live
    - To re-visit South Africa (been there a couple of times, so not sure if this really counts)
    - Visit Argentina
    - Go to the Monaco, Belgian, Italian, Singapore and Canadian F1 Grand Prix
    - Win the Lotto to pay for all the above

    I'd like to make my own album. And in every musical format that has ever existed. I want it to be number one in the wax cylinder chart.
