Ten things you want to do before you die:

[Dumbellina]

1.go to British Columbia for an extended summer of riding
2.write a paper for publication in a major legal journal and then a book on access rights for MTB (starting in earnest)
3. get my solicitor's practicing certificate and work in a quiet law firm on the South Coast (Narooma) and ride everyday
4. teach my daughter to ride (work in progress)
5. buy one of each top-of-the-range bike - DH, FR, XC, road, cyclocross in the Cannondale catalogue
6. have enough $$ to buy a new top end groupset - XTR, Dura-ace, XO each year and the $$ to get regular replacements (chains, cassettes, chainrings)
7. buy a house at Tathra on the beach (see 3)
8. learn to be a more thorough home mechanic - ie no chainring bolts falling off mid-ride.
9. Learn the Arabic word for "bomb" and use that and "Al Queda", "Osama Bin Laden" and "Jamal Ismaler" (sp?) in every phone conversation and see how long before I get an ASIO raid.
10. Never having to contemplate being sodomised in a gaol cell...

[Binaural]

But whatever you do, don't mix it up with the Paris sewers. Cave Dweller A.K.A Mr. Forgetful spent a very stinky day discovering the difference

 

[Binaural]

when i was 11 i went to the guiness factory in ireland and had the full tour which included a free pint of guiness at the end.

Went there for an afternoon in Dublin when I was over in Ireland a few months ago. The Guiness factory is HUGE, and full to the brim with interesting stuff (particularly if you have technical interests and/or like old-school advertising - "Guiness is good for you"). It's all been semi-restored, and you can really feel the history of the place as you walk around.

The other thing you don't realize until you go there is that Dublin is flat like your yr10 formal date, and the view from the top of the factory is awesome! Best enjoyed with a pint in hand which will naturally be the best Guiness you have ever tasted.

 

[Ronin]

Some things....

Skydive solo from high enough that I need a special suit and oxygen.

Trek, way off the beaten track, for at least a year, exploring some far off corner of the world, by my self.

Visit Iceland.

Own an outback property with a big hill on it.

Learn to play a musical instrument.

Record the best DJ mix, ever, from my always-growing music collection.

Find a nice girl I can talk to for a long time.

Nail that elusive 360 flip on my skateboard.

Go to Canada with my bike and a snowboard and kick-ass on Whistler for a year or so.

Throw a massive outdoor party, in some pristine natural location, for the whole summer, and eat hippy food.

Wow.... so many things I'd like to do... life's amazing.

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

Hey! i said heavy drinking, no drinking in gereral. Geez, what do you think i am, a jockey???

Well, it's just last I checked there were 10,476 members of the farkin family.

Even if we all just stick to pots, as soon as someone suggests a round or (for the love of god, please no!) a kitty we're all fucked!

Still, a nice pint of Nelson (Nelson Mandela-Stella for those not in the know) would hit the spot.

thanks for asking!
