I only have to worry, in case my girl wears pins

Right I've nicked this from Stigger:

Don't know what it is, but you have to bold all the things you've done.

01. Bought everyone in the bar a drink (In Malta, to be fair it was quiet and it was 40p a pint)
02. Swam with wild dolphins
03. Climbed a mountain (quite a few in the lake district, and Snowdon – although I cheated on that one by taking a train half way)
04. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive
05. Been inside the Great Pyramid
06. Held a tarantula
07. Taken a candlelit bath with someone (oh yes!, I’ve even broken a bath with someone. I was living in St Johns Wood and having a bath with Mazzy Must. Now…the cowboy builders decided they couldn’t be arsed propping the bath up properly and so stuck a plant pot underneath…… We’re happily frolicking and suddenly – BUSHAK! – I drop a good foot and water goes everywhere. We looked at each wide eyed, expecting to go through the floor any second. Fortunately we didn’t. I had to bail the bath out. Fortunately downstairs never noticed!. Hmmmm that reminds me of the time we killed our neighbour, but that’s another story….)
08. Said "I
love you" and meant it (many many times)
09. Hugged a tree (try it, you have to. It’s not just for freaks)
10. Bungee jumped
11. Visited Paris (I’ve driven round the peripherique, don’t think that counts)
12. Watched a lightning storm at sea (I love storms, there I go again)
13. Stayed up all night long and saw the sun rise (I love sunrise but then I must go to sleep for a long time)
14. Seen the Northern Lights (I must do this)
15. Gone to a huge sports game (not least of which seeing the mighty blues at the hallowed Goodison Park)
16. Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa

23. Got drunk on champagne (several times, usually before doing a best man speech)
24. Given more than you can afford to charity
25. Looked up at the night sky through a telescope (Yeah! At my main man P’s and I saw three of Jupiters moons!!!)
26. Had an uncontrollable giggling fit at the worst possible moment (best one was when a friend of mine and Pantsfellah fell off the climbing frame and lay there winded huffing and puffing
Willy – “SOS”
Fellah – “He’s broken his back”
Spunky – “Call an ambulance”
We pissed ourselves for ages. Poor Pete. NB Willy was there too!)
27. Had a food fight
28. Bet on a winning horse (many many times, more losers though)
29. Asked out a stranger (first time I did this was with an American girl, I got an abrupt “No” I also three or four years ago asked out a beautiful Slovak girl though and went out with her for many months)
30. Had a snowball fight (you have to make skid patches too (don’t you Fellah?) – patches! Not marks!)
31. Screamed as loudly as you possibly can (every 6 pm when I was at university, I used to do a great tarzan call)
32. Held a lamb (a cutlet yes, whole one no)
33. Seen a total eclipse (Saw it in Devon a few years ago, it was a bit spooky. Two bats came out. (to be honest that was me and Chibbles doing impressions)
34. Ridden a roller coaster
35. Hit a home run (not in baseball, in rounders – playing softball with work on Friday, how camp is that?)
36. Danced like a fool and not cared who was looking (it’s obligatory for me, it’s all I can do)

37. Adopted an accent for an entire day (I can’t believe many could keep it up for a whole day, done hours at a time. Usually end up Jamaican)
38. Actually felt happy about your life, even for just a moment (lots, maybe not now, but lots)

47. Taken a road trip (drove all the way from Frankfurt to Coventry in one go, took 12 hours)48. Gone rock climbing (not with harness though)
49. Midnight walk on the beach (Gran Canaria with Minky, we took two scottish ladies skinny dipping, rrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

51. Visited Ireland (lots, the Guinness is not loads better, that’s just people who don’t drink Guinness talking shit, best pint I had was in Kaiserlautern in Germany)
52. Been heartbroken for longer than when you were in love (of course! Sometimes you get binned really quickly, especially when young and foolish. In fact you can be in love and never go out with them – or it that just me?)
53. In a restaurant, sat at a stranger's table and had a meal with them (Yup. Wongkeis in Soho, they chuck you on any table with any space at all?)

74. Crashed a party (And then nearly pulled the host’s girlfriend, this isn’t a big plaudit for me. He was hanging. I did go out with her for a while a bit later but these were my misbehavioural days)

Cheers Stigger. Living in London is top, but then I miss the country and you get to snowboard and skidoo etc etc etc

I'm off to Arizona, Nevada and Californiieh!

Aye Fellah,
It did take a while, the worst bit was copying it across and the stupid fuck loses the formatting! I was livid.
Do it, post man! We done some weird stuff.
- Drive to lake, sit by lake, walk along all fences by lake
- Potholing with red bike light plus candle
- Worked at McDs!

By the way, it took me ages to recover from the bath of weetabix! I was well annoyed.

Cheers Mookie, and good luck with the job
