I did a bungee jump on my 39th..I said I wanted to do it before i was 40 . I've spent the night in jail, danced naked on stage, had sex on the beach, done some travelling, fallen in love more than once,did a parachute jump for charity when I was 27, went on Tiswas in the cage also for charity,been married, lived in "sin",enjoyed my life, what next?...write a book before I am 50 perhaps?

Its too late for me so I will have to live vicariously through you!

Check into a hotel under blatantly made up names. Look shifty when you are checking in and out! smiley - winkeye

Don't talk to me about assumed names- my parents are Mr. and Mrs. Smith- you have no idea how much trouble they've had over the years- one hotel refused to check them in until they both produced their drivers' licences smiley - grr

You definitely have to do a parachute jump! So great and not scary (even though I am generally afraid of heights).
If poss, get it videoed 'cos the mind finds it difficult to take it in and I've forgotten a lot of it, but always have the tape handy to jog my memory.
What about visit a place you've always wanted to go to but have never been? (this is obviously somewhat dependent on the financial situation!)

Why on earth would I want to do that smiley - weird I think it would involve hair transplant surgery, and I'm fairly sure I'd regret it in the long run smiley - silly Ok for chaps I guess...

I'm adding:
12) Go on a protest march. Something tells me I might have reason to fairly soon. Mind you my nan didn't do this until she was well into her 70s - she marched in the poll tax protests. She was a frail-looking little old lady with (at the time) 2 broken arms from a fall. She must've been *really* angry...
