Bucket list

[Churchill]

We have always made our own with spicy sausage and a good thick bacon cooked with the roast spuds in Duck Fat , I also cook the Ham marinated with lots of either Marmalade or Honey and garlic.

[T00ts]

I have a list, but several appointments of varying duration with the grim reaper over recent years have left me uncertain of the possibility of completing it.



There is a list of things I wished to do.



I wanted a BMW before I was 25 and to own a house with a front drive so long I'd have to change gear to get the car to the road and have to ride on the lawnmower. Those all failed.



I wanted to find a cure for a couple of nasty diseases and a politician denied me that chance after I'd put eight years hard graft into it. But a worthless piece of management shyte I actually worked for eight years later WAS brought back from the dead by an idea I had before I was chucked out, which the remaining team launched into general use by paramedics.



It's strange watching a bloke in scrubs work on someone and suddenly think bugger me I invented that .  .



It's even stranger when you're the one in A and E and they're apologising for the length of time a test will take and you reply "oh it's my own fault, I had this idea back in 79/80 and I see the papers I wrote up were acted on after I got my P45, yes, exactly, I am the guy who thought up the idea if doing what you're doing, although I admit I wasn't planning on being a subject at the time...."



But four people walk the earth,or did for a while longer,as a direct result of my intervention to kick the reaper in the nadgers for them.



My work has been cited by more than one Nobel nominee and I owe a dual prize winner a favour for breaking my lecturers equivalent of a "writer's block"....



In 2014 I stood before a wonder of the ancient world and marvelled at the ingenuity of its builders.



And last month I had steak and eggs and significant amounts of trimmings for Breakfast In America....



And while the British Library stands, my research work stored on one of its shelves (ok these days it's servers) guarantees me immortality.



Not a bad innings,I think.

All that talent and still buys ready made pigs in blankets!  :dncg:

But that wasn't my only idea that made it ...For it is far stranger when you're the one in A and E and they're apologising for the length of time a test will take and you reply "oh it's my own fault, I had this idea back in 79/80 and I see the papers I wrote up were acted on after I got my P45, yes, exactly, I am the guy who thought up the idea if doing what you're doing, although I admit I wasn't planning on being a subject at the time...."

Grandkids are brilliant when you have had enough of them you given the little devils back

This time last year I was forced to babysit my grand daughter.



The Missus, her mum, and my other daughter all pissed off to the theatre where the adult section of my grand daughters musical theatre group were putting in EVITA.



Leaving me to look after her.



We had a whale of a time in Wetherspoon's and afterwards I bought her two dairy milk mcFlurries from the adjacent McDonalds to go with the one I'd bought her after I picked her up.



I handed back the organic equivalent of a nuclear bomb on amphetamines to her mum at 22:45 and i've NEVER been asked to babysit her again....

[johnofgwent]

Oh that's quite sad. There must be something nice you would like. Perhaps something in France? It doesn't have to build character it might just be for fun.

I'd like to see a great grandchild before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Grandchildren are fantastic, if I'd known how good they are I'd have had them first. Great grandchildren must be even better.

Do you know why Nuns always walk around in twos'?

I guess they just get into the habit...

I give up!  Which one means "No, why do nuns walk round in twos?"

One nun to make sure the other nun gets none.

That joke was old 100 years ago.

It's new to me! I guess I have been sheltered. :roll:
