I'm happy to say I've done all of those but I am 42, although been a C6 complete for 25 years - so your wishes can be done!!!!

My wishes now mostly revolve around seeing my kids grow up and stay happy & healthy with me and their Dad being their guardian angels. Then we will start thinking more about ourselves again.

I've done everything I wanted to (realistically) achieve and all before I was 35!

One last thing is to meet my birth Mother and that's going to happen next year

[Scribbler]

Well I'm pushing 70 so that's ancient, plus I've been injured 50 years so that's bl##dy old.

I've done masses in my life but I'm still trying new things.

I've recently seen 'Les Miserables' in London, then a few weeks later saw the show 'Mamma Mia' so that's 2 new things.

Tomorrow I'm back down to London again to go on the 'London Eye', so that will be 3.

My next venture is a trip to Lille on the Eurostar, as I have a French friend there; there's no stopping me is now...

I really live dangerouly don't I?.....


I couldn't write this in the Incredible Boring Thread; it would be far too exciting for them....


Welcome to paddy the irishman.


Good luck Lady Pilot, I hope the meeting is as successful as you want it to be...
