It was actually really fun and we had a laugh doing it. We only live once right? (ex bhuddists not inc.) Is there stuff you want to do while you're in good health, stuff you probably won't do, but like the thought of? Here's mine (so you can laugh at it! ) 1. Scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef 2. Do a skydive 3. Take a plane flying lesson 4. Drive route 66 5. Drive around Europe 6. Visit Machu Picchu 7. Visit Taj Mahal 8. See the Pyramids 9. Walk along the Great Wall of China 10. Visit the Christ the Redeemer (Rio de Janerio) 11. Run a marathon 12. Go to Easter Island 13. Climb Kilamanjaro (doing this in 4 years) 14. Do the 3 Peaks Challenge in 24 hours (next year) 15. Go to Monaco 16. Go to the Amazon River 17. Try my hand at stocks and shares 18. Own a Rolex 19. Visit Red Square & Kremlin in Moscow 20. Learn Italian (already not too bad) 21. Visit places around Italy 22. BBQ 5kg of Pork - I just think it looks cool when they do it on TV 23. See the Northern Lights 24. Learn to Snowboard (This June! ) 25. Write a Sitcom 26. Try and travel for free - see how far I can get 27. Go somewhere off the beaten track - Tony, help me out! 28. Go on a cruise 29. Go on the Jurassic Park ride in Florida (a dream since I was a kid) 30. Go to Montana and do a fossil dig 31. Go to Japan and visit Kyumiso-dera temples 32. Visit Tokyo 33. Go to Auschwitz Now do yours. Fanculo stronzo! Only joking with the only Italian I can remember. I've never done a bucket list. Great idea for a thread though. Here goes: Win a Big V championship in basketball. Attend a Villa game at Villa Park Spend a season playing semi professionally in England for basketball, and during my stay regularly attend Villa matches. Own my own home in a neighbourhood that I would like to live in. Start my own basketball association and academy for at risk and disadvantaged kids and youth, with legitimate pathways to a pro career. Maintain my volunteer work in the community in some capacity until I cark it, at the very least on a monthly basis. Visit and explore Lefkada and Monodendri, meet my family there. Visit The Meteora monasteries in Greece. Visit the Sphinx and pyramids. Tour the Chilean and Argentinian sides of Patagonia. Visit Chicago for a Bulls game. Learn Spanish Travel across Europe as a backpacker. Read the Quran Become adept in my martial arts so that I can be an instructor. Gallop on a horse. That'll do for now.

Xela Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I didn't post originally, but it would have probably been about visiting a load of new counties. Today, it would be a lot less ambitious 1) Like to visit Japan and South Korea 2) Like to get my illness under control, which would massively assist in the above. At the moment it adds an added layer of stress and inconvenience to everything 3) Own my dream car in the next 8 years 4) See Villa win a major trophy. 5) Retire early and perhaps live on a narrowboat. Not really a 'bucket list' as such, just stuff i'd like to do and all realistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 After reviewing my original post, I can confirm I ticked only one of those off. Cooking 5kg of **** pork what a life I'm leading. can tell I wrote this before kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to a Wrestlemania, Niagara falls, see new York, San Fran, Seattle, Florida etc... Revised list. Don’t want to meet VillaAlex in drag anymore. Japan has been my obsession for a long time now. This is my #1 aim in life now. I want to see and experience as much of the whole country as I can. Also become obsessed with narrow boats thanks to YouTube so Im also hopefully going to be buying a narrowboat once my OH’s son has flown the nest in 5 years or so. Then I can go part time at work as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably do, however, tonight I realised I don't as I only have the rerelease CD of both albums and there are no thanks on it. Mine would probably have been on the first album not the second. I also realised tonight I don't have a copy of the other one I remember my name being on either. A compilation of singles by Glide (Will Sergeant) on Ochre Records 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 21 hours ago, Seat68 said: No thanks on an album yet. Should be readily achievable these days I'd have thought, most bands that go down the fundraising route for an album tend to have this as quite a low-ish reward level. Think I'm thanked on about 4 or 5 through crowdfunding campaigns, two of which I'm actually on-on though thankfully one was an effects-laden spoken word sample and the other which did require "singing" was as part of a gang vocal, so you can't really hear me ruining the whole thing. Was a fun day out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
