Last Saturday, at the age of 38 and 5 months, I went to Bingo for the first time.

My Sister and her boyfriend go occasionally, and they invited me and The Wife along to Gala in Bexleyheath..... More accurately, they invited The Wife and I sort of just tagged along rather than spending Saturday at home alone.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be, not sure I'd make it a regular thing and for the money we spent, that's gotta be a good thing Shock . Not even the meerest sniff of a win I'm afraid for any of us either..... Maybe I'll give it another try in the new year.... If I come out without a win again, I'll cut up my Gala Bingo membership card! rolling on the floor laughing

BC, what have you done, man? You've just wrecked your street cred.

NB: Should be retitled: Things to do before you die of boredom.

BTW, there's a Darby and Joan club opening soon. LOL

The very worst thing that can happen with any form of gambling is for you to win the first time.  Most people are then hooked.

On a personal note I would like to be the hangman of all the paedophiles in the country before I die.  But I bet I won't be.

The northern lights are a 'must see' IMO.

Regards the second one, I've been to Cardiff before.

RE: Things to do before you die...

Travel the world (I have done most of Europe), sleep with a women from each continent.  Smile  Drink - done , drugs - done, smoke - done.  Swin with dolphins ( nearly did that one already).  Get a tattoo - not done.  Have a threesome!  That includes me and two other women.  Smile  Trying new things as much as possible.  See a shrink - done.  See a pychologist - done.  Try and think of some more.

 

Go on a plane - done, go on a cruise ship - done, go to Egypt - not done.  Skiing - done.  Watch 3D lol - done.  Ibiza - done that when I was 17!

Nah, she wouldn't be astounded, but might have a large glass of bubbly! Sad

Swum with turtles and rays. And sharks (real ones, but very small). Want to swim with dolphins.

Skiing, done. Egypt not yet, nor Petra, or great wall. Aztec and Mayan ruins, yes. Still lots to do.

To avoid rambling. If I could only do five things before I die (in no particular order):

Visiit Egypt; swim with dolphins; skydive; See the northern lights; see the Earth from space.

 

And yes, I've been to bingo, invited along by my sister-in-law. No, probably won't be doing it again.

RE: Things to do before you die...

I'd love to see a volcanic eruption - probably be the last thing I ever saw before I died though!  puzzled

 

Edit: I did put a nice picture of a volcano blowing its top, but it didn't work, I'm sure you know what they look like!!
