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...

Watch Arsenal lift the FA cup, then go see it paraded around on the open deck bus with my two boys

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?...

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

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*

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

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
    • I agree there are other options, but apart from cutting off bits of the body, which is probably not going to happen here, at least hopefully not in my lifetime, I wouldn't call them"stricter"! Unfortunately ultimately it may depend on what is cost effective in terms of implementation.
