Forum Bucket List Assistance

Pross

1. Ride some of iconic European climbs.
2. Finally have a go at a skiing holiday.
3. Own (or at the very least hire for a weekend) an Aston. If loaded I would buy a DB5 and a current model - probably a Vanquish.

If someone could point me in the direction of the best/cheapest flights to Florida and the best/cheapest place to obtain theme park tickets, Disney/flex. That would be awesome!

I use a "travel counsellor" essentially an independant and let him do ythe leg work. 9 times out of 10 he beats the best we can every come up with. I can PM you the number if you like.

Could you pm me too?

PM'd let me know how you get on.

Here we go, I can fix #1 for you, how about a day out at silverstone being driven in a HyperCar by the Stig ?

That is a generous offer, how many other people are now thinking wish that was on my list

For me I'd like;

1) To ride some of the big Alpine climbs.
2) To be able to drop out of society for a while and maybe cruise around the canals in a narrow boat.
3) To go to the Alps in winter to see the snow.

1. I'd like to have the time and money to do a properly big tour based on the Silk Road
2. Build & paint a bike frame for myself in my own workshop
3. Drive a post 1990 F1 car

1 + 2 are definitely possible...#3 not so much!

To be honest you could also say that about your number 2 wish

Have I strayed into a parallel forum. Where is the VTech baiting?
VTech now all round good guy?
WTF is going on?

1. Watch my beloved Rangers at Madison Square Gardens (might have to hurry for this one cos I suspect it will be replaced in the next few years).

2. Own a Harley Davidson (will become achievable after no 3 I hope).

3. Climb Sydney Harbour Bridge (planning on doing this as a part of my honeymoon next year).

I will go ahead and join in on this as well.

1. Get the experience of winning a stage in a grand tour
2. Have my companies grow to the point they become publicly traded
3. Do a horse back trip through the Wild West of America with my wife using hunting techniques and tents to keep it as old school as possible.
4. Get the chance to take a year off from work and cycle through Europe taking in all the greatest stages of races

Not only is your understanding of grammer wrong (see gatorade) you can not even follow basic instructions

3 items only :-)

Can anyone help??

Make up your mind. Florida or Berlin ?

Get a flight to Berlin and take a jar of Rohypnol, thats about the best you could do.

pinno

Simple. Do Le Marmotte.

If you want to say my understanding of grammar is wrong, you may want to at least spell the word properly. It is grammAr, not grammEr. So just off that logic, you have failed to convince you are correct. I didn't bother reading the first page, so just joined in. Oh no, someone posted something extra in a forum :shock:

smidsy

That is spelling dear boy. Totally different subject. :-)

Surely you should know the spelling of the word you are complaining about? Especially something as non-technical as grammar?

And I certainly do not consider binary to be at all good grammar :-)

MountainMonster

There is no grammar there

I'm happy to see you spell it correctly now, it has been a productive waste of time

smidsy

Agreed. Again seems a sensible place to end.

Happy riding.

Two toddlers, both of us work. When I work the OH is looking after the kids and when she works I look...
3 hip ops and a whole load of accomodation on the NHS - need many more miles in the legs and some time for training.

The plan is 3 years long unless I become unemployed - here's hoping

Ok, I have 3 kids, but my youngest is now 9 so totally different ballgame as to when the weans are small. If you want to get a lifesize mask of your face and send me £100 I will wear it and pose for photographs when I am at the top of the iconic climbs which you can turn into marvellous pictures for your pleasure. this offer wont be up for long so I'd snap it up quick.
