Learn to speak another language Could speak a Farsi but forgotten most of it. Not used it for 30 years. Could probably pick it back up in a few weeks, but what’s the point. Can speak French enough to get by and order in a restaurant and get building materials. Own an island Thought about it. But just to be able to run around the island naked. Probably too much hassle with maintenance. Dine at a Michelin star restaurant Stars and rating don’t tend to mean much. Its the company that makes for a great meal. I’ve been in some seriously expensive places and never really noticed the difference between them and a nice pub meal with very good service. The only place that has ever stood out for me has been Portmeirion. Write a novel Do enough with blogging to know that writing a novel is not interesting. I prefer to read a novel and my bookshelves are now groaning under the weight of SF (Speculative Fiction) that I have read. See Gorillas in the wild If I want to see them I go to a zoo. In the wild, they’re best left alone. Though there is something to be said about tourism paying to keep the animal’s habitats. Live and work abroad Done enough of that already. Hot air balloon ride Now this a real desire of mine. See next item. Fly a plane I like flying. I’m always getting the window seat whenever possible. Plus I’ve flown a Cessna and even a Robinson R11 helicopter – though only for a few lessons. Have been lucky to get co-pilot seat a number of times in light aircraft and helicopters too. Travel New Zealand in a Winnebago Well I’ve done Australian Youth Hostels and driven around a tiny part of Oz. So a Winnebago to go around Oz doesn’t sound too bad. Start and run your dream business Done it. Not worth the hassle. Prefer to just be told to do work I enjoy doing. Let someone else worry about the money and orders etc. Ride a Segway Must try this. Go to Disneyworld Been to Universal Studios in Florida. Just as nice I would say. Our villa was just next door to Disney, but we still went to Universal. Gamble in Las Vegas Not much into gambling. Most I do is the lottery – most weeks but not religiously. Act as an extra in a Hollywood film Appeared in a tech documentary for a Discovery Channel programme. Not quite Hollywood though! Dedicate time to volunteering Done it. Try out an F1 car Must try this. Done carting in my time and really enjoyed it. Probably get it as some experience present like my helicopter lesson and try at falconry. Learn to fly a plane or helicopter See 28. Started it, but not finished. Bloody expensive! Have a family Have the wife, but not the kids. But rest of our families have the kids and have watched them grow up. So best of both worlds. None of the bad stuff, and can be a great uncle/aunt and spoil them rotten. Only surprise is that we only have nieces, no nephews. Be an extra in a movie See 34. Climb a mountain like Everest Prefer to stand at the bottom and admire the scenery.
