My suggestions would only be suitable in TMS.

Ignore anything like visit here and there. Thats what gap years and retirement are for. Concentrate on things that your physical condition allows now but will be increasingly difficult as you get older. Run a Marathon etc.

I'm 28 next month too. Roll on the 11th.

 

I refuse to make a list of things to do before I turn thirty, because I'm never turning 30. I will be 29 forever.

Monkey Face and Strawberry Cheesecake?

Why not make things a bit more challenging and go for 31st a birthday party.

 

Anyway, snowmobiling.

[Robsk II]

Do loads of drugs. LOADS. Also, w*nk a lot, and spend all your time on the internet.

Stop panicking for one. Your 30s will be better than your 20s anyway.

[StuRomseySaint]

Good thread, if I had paid my fiver then I would have started this exact thread. I am 29 tommorow and suffering the same fait.

 

I am not bothered about being 30 next year, infact I am looking forward to it. Although there are a few things which I want to do before I am 30.

 

- Go on one last 18-30's holiday.

 

- Go to some Drum and Base rave and get messy.

 

- Get stoned / pilled up just once.

Exactly, I am 33 on the 8th and can confirm that I am enjoying my 30's a hell of a lot more than my 20's.

[Kingsland Codger]

Listen to the Randy Pausch 'Last Lecture"

Oh im not panicking but like someone said earlier, it would be nice to do the sort of things that you might not be able to do in later life like running a marathon.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions so far

[Colinjb]

If it's something you won't be able to do later in life, yeah, a marathon? Make a concerted effort to try and play football for a team?

That is my main one. I am going to spend the next year trying to get myself back into shape so I can have a couple of years playing footy. I am not sure how long the back will last though, even if it's just pub footy level then I do want to have a go though.

As opposed to simply ****ging one?

 

Sleeping with a prostitute takes some balls

And another part of human anatomy too I presume.

It was purely suggestions.

 

For the record i am 25 nearing 26 and have done 3 of the 5 things

Sorry, yeah sh*gging one I meant. When you say sleeping with one takes balls, you mean closing eyes or sh*gging?!

[Deppo]

Get laid.

[Julian H. Cope]

Drive a tractor.

Milk a tramp.

Have a massive ego.

Murder a copper.

Drink too much, take too much acid and walk the wrong way home on your 30th birthday.

F*ck one of your mates mums

All well and good when your say 16 and your mates Mums are 30 something MILF's, however unless you have Glitter tendancies, I'm sure most of your mates Mums are likely to be hovering around the 50 mark. A GILF is a lot harder to find than a MILF.

Spin you car 360 degrees on a motorway.

 

I passed that one with flying colours yesterday.

Go on then, I'm intrigued. How the hell do you lose control going in what's essentially a straight line?

Tyre blowout? Standing water? Citroen?

She drives a Nissan or a Fiesta.

 

The rest? I'd have mentioned that in the original post I think.

 

Let's hope we find out.

[Michelle]

4 year old Fiesta.

 

Went to overtake from middle lane and completely failed to see a car in my blind spot (they sure as hell call it that for a reason, as was proved to me yesterday) until I'd started pulling out, and I was right alongside it in the outside lane.

 

Panicked, steered away a bit too quickly and for some stupid reason (well, seems stupid now, but at the time I thought I was gonna hit the car I was going to overtake) hit the brakes. At one point I was looking at the central reservation while my car was travelling sideways across the two lanes. Eventually ground to a halt straddled across the outside lane and central reservation - though I was pointing the right way, which I was quite stunned at!

 

Even more impressively, and I'm still at a loss as to how it wasn't much worse - I didn't hit anything, and nobody hit me. Ended up with all three lanes stopped whilst I got over to the hard shoulder - funnily enough I didn't drive the next leg of the journey, though I did drive a bit again last night on the way back from that poor excuse for a football match.

The lesson, ALWAYS check over your shoulder before overtaking on a motorway.

 

You lucky bugger!#-o

Missing a car in your blind spot, or the 360?

Don't I bloody know it - on both counts!

 

I was completely over compensating on the way back last night - knew for a fact there was no-one behind me, no headlights in sight, yet I still checked.

 

The shock of the whole thing didn't really set in until this morning, worst thing now is that I keep getting flashbacks which send me all cold and shivery, makes me realise just how incredibly lucky I was.

[Iowsaintsfan]

Thanks for your suggestions guys
