Bucket List

Good luck with level 4 feller :) . Best get tasting a tonne of wines pronto (and learn to spit them out).

I too would like to get to space one day. Have run the option of selling the house and going on Virgin Galactic past the misses but she didn't seem that keen. I'll keep working on her.

Farrk, that sounds awesome fun though. I live in France, I have a supply of wine like water, now to indulge massively, to aid learning of course! Just makes the challenge more of a challenge. Where is the fun if everyone has it? haha :D

I do hope the flights like that come down to a more reasonable amount, as at the moment, they're just mental.

Meh, looked at that and decided hang gliding is more "natural", you look like a giant moth. :p



Oh god, yes... Next time I'm in a ropey country I must see how I can go about (legally) firing an AK47. I heard a rumour that in some countries you can fire a rocket launcher. That would make me so hard. :p

In vegas there's a range which allows you to fire grenade launchers. Also you can quad bike in the desert then go shoot sniper rifles... Vegas eh? :D

Laos/Cambodia you can easily do it!

You can do this in Cambodia yes. I was there this year and had a play with an M16. Couldn't decide between the AK47 or M16, probably should have gone for AK with the bigger round. I was surprised how easy / little kick and recoil there was with the M16.

You basically get given a list of weapons to choose from. RPG was on the list but it was priced at $350. I have no idea what you shoot it at but have heard rumours that cows and donkeys have been used as targets in the past :(
 
Things that I plan on doing which are relatively easy to achieve are:

- Get a light pilots license.. which I'll be starting this Sunday :)

- Become a qualified sky diver (as in, able to do solo jumps)

- Become a qualified lifeguard

And some other rather more difficult adventures...
