Managed 32 of the top 50, so far. There's 10 which I never want to do, so only leaves 8 - and I need to renew my passport, for a few of those.
Had a fab list but did everything on it, so started a new one  |

"Well, I have a lot to do in the next 10 weeks then. 
I still have things to do, going by that list, and I'm two years overdue.
"
I wouldn't want to do a lot of them. |

I think it was research compiled to sell insurance/finance product. The poor don't buy enough of those.

21 on the done list, but don't have ambitions to tick them all off.
Only one on the regrets and that is the weight one, quite happy with that as i don't do regrets.

See your favourite musician/band live - seen a lot of my fave bands
Learn a language - too lazy
Attend a music festival - been there done that several times

See the Northern Lights - does television documentaries count?
Visit Stonehenge - can't think of a reason to do this
Be able to remember which side of your car the petrol cap is on - jeez what dumb ass made that one up?
Travel somewhere alone - I do most of my travelling alone
Sleep underneath the stars - easy when you've been partying all night!
Watch a meteor shower - that can only happen when there is one where you can see it

Become an expert at something - expert is a relative term
Quit a job - just one?
See a volcano - I walked up a volcano
Visit all seven continents - fine if you have the money
Throw a coin in the Trevi fountain - the wish thing isn't real you know?
Take a helicopter ride - only if it is an apache attack copter and I get to kill loads of bad guys

Go in a hot air balloon - why?
Ride an elephant - I can't think of a reason to do this
Climb Snowdonia - fuck off please

Backpack across Europe - prefer to have luxury, when I'm homeless and broke I'll have a go
Perfect a signature dish - fine so long as someone else is cooking
Drink beer at Oktoberfest - so passe
Run a marathon - now you're being a dick
Get a tattoo - thought about it, don't want to pay for it
Ride a Vespa - can I just twat someone riding a vespa?
Watch comedy at Edinburgh Fringe -sounds boring
Write a novel - ha ha ha ha ha, that's 99% of the population out then
Write a journal - yawn
Spend a month technology free - did that in the 60s and 70s
Try drugs - I guess a junkie threw that one in
Have a threesome - yep ok

"And have a doctors finger up my ass
I've done that one (or, rather, had it done to me).
You had a prostate check  "
No, I had a colonoscopy when they thought I might have cancer. Three different male doctors decided to stick their fingers in. Thankfully, not at the same time. |

The petrol flap one is easy, I can cross that off everyone's list; when you look at the fuel gauge on your dashboard, look at which side the filler is on the symbol, as that will correspond to the same side of the vehicle the filler flap is. |

Lol being over 50,doesn't seem that long ago there wasn't such things as'bucket lists' similar to this list,why would you do things,just to tick them off? Fair enough if it's something you actually wanted to do,not just for the sake of 'impressing' no one on facecraic? |

"Top tip :- The fuel gauge pump symbol on the dashboard tells you which side the filler cap is. If the pipe is to the right, so is the fuel filler and visa versa. "
As I posted above not on all cars it doesn't |
