Bucket List

[Ladymuck]

Do you have any "must dos" before you kick the bucket? One of mine would be:

to attend a match at Old Trafford and watch my beloved Red Devils...as, although I've seen them dozens of times, this has only ever been when they've been playing "away" - in London. Moreover, I rather relish attending with someone who supports a different team (hubby is a good candidate as he's an avid Gooner supporter!) and sitting amongst the fans for that team dressed in full Man. U colours complete with red and white bobble hat...just for the sheer hell of it!

Pure joy...

Play in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas...so if anyone's got a spare $25,000 I'll give them a cut of my prize money.

I love your optimism! Good on you.

Go on a year long road trip around the world. Wouldn't be enough time but I don't want to be greedy.

Grow up & be serious in the right places & not get distracted "on here" whilst trying to do my proper desk bound work ( I'm fine when I'm out but once this lap top opens.....well , I think you know )

I have seen Arsenal, Man U and *sobs* Liverpool all lift the FA Cup live but never the Hammers, So I guess I've got to put that in the Bucket

[brum]

To toast my daughters 50th birthday. She's only 7 at present, so it means I will have lots more living and loving to do before then!

[Narnia]

See Ireland beat the All Blacks just once!

[Atila Reincarnate]

Go to the carnival in Brazil, Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Drive down rour 66 in a post box red E Type jag, Oh and win on the lottery, but most of all see my boys grow into healthy happy adults, that's more precious to me than anything else.

West Ham lift the FA Cup? Well...I admire your tenacity...but you do need to be a little more realistic...perhaps you believe in magic?...

*leaves box of tissues for the obviously distressed ????...and rings the footy fairy*

[Ladymuck]

*telephone rings*

LM: Hello

Footie Fairy ("FF"): I got your message...but...come on...

LM: so, you can't help poor old ???? then?

FF: *bursts out laughing and puts receiver down*

Harsh, very harsh, but funny.

OK.... here in "deluded" land (otherwise known as the premier league )it's de rigueur when "feverishly" supporting a team to actually have well, you know "been to a home game" once or a couple of dozen times

Otherwise it's all a bit "stickers and scarves" supporting from an arm chair/ pub screen/ nearest ground

They are a great team Man U & I watch a game when I can, but there is no substitute for the noise at a real home game

Go on girl....

" On yer train muckers "

Get amongst those "mancs" proper

W**F

Absolutely WMD...which is why this is on my bucket list...get me a bloody ticket...and I'll be off...have been trying for years!

*nicks some of ????'s tissues*

[PeckhamRose]

To see MrPR do once more what he loves doing more than anything else: gliding and teaching people to glide. He is thus a qualified gliding instructor and thus needs to have a good regular income to be able to afford to go do this amazing thing. But his job situation was such he had to stop his hobby for financial reasons. If he gets another job (photography based would be best which he has done professionally for years) and can afford to glide and teach gliding again, I will be happy happy happy.

And getting badly beaten up and ejected from the ground.

There is a great tension about sitting in the wrong section which does need to be experienced. Turning the joy of an away goal into a rant at the keeper is a skill and no mistake.

It's not that hard to get a ticket to the swamp by the way, just have a look at the seatexchange thing for Fulham for instance via manure.com.

Oh ruffers...*looks sad*

I've been to lots of matches and never encountered any trouble...

Granted, I've never sat in the "wrong" section...

Is it really that bad? Am I being a tad naive?

*looks pleadingly at ruffers*

...please say "no"

*nicks yet more of ????'s tissues*

[Annasfield]

If you'd like to come to Anfield and do that on the Kop when we play United next season, the please let me know LM. ;-)

Aye - it's an amazing feeling!

[????]

I've been in the wrong section on a fair few occasions but that was a long time ago and not as a 'christmas tree' ;-)

*throws BR Football Special bog roll on pitch*

[Ladymuck]

Hooligans...the lot of you;-)

[ruffers]

No, the other lot were hooligans, not me.

Of course, the comment didn't apply to you ruffers...

but, seriously, judging by the the hooligans' comments...it is that bad?...and you really don't recommend I sit in the wrong section? It's a good 15 years since I attended a match...

Find someone that I can't live without and spend the rest of my life wondering what took them so long to show up

Be able to converse competently (not schoolgirl) in at least one other European language

For the sake of my sanity and my soul, try to forget the person that I cannot forgive

Learn to play poker properly

Take a long walk in the desert

Go on at least one of the world's great train journeys

Learn the tango and go to Buenos Aries

Learn how to ride a bike

Visit Kyoto at blossom time and get dressed up as a Geisha

Go to the opera in Verona

Kiss with wild abandon outside the Hotel de Ville in Paris

I have barely scratched the surface
