The ten things thing, I think

caddymanEverybody seems to be doing this ten things thing (er..). I notice it started off as ten things I've done and you haven't, and then became just ten things I've done.
Never let it be said that Bryan couldn't be a sheep when he saw the opportunity to post in his LJ with comparatively little thought (actually, that's not right; when you have a memory like me, thinking of ten things you've actually done or had happen to you is quite hard…).
So. In no particular order:
1 Been mugged unsuccessfully at gun point. (I told him to fuck off).
2 Flown in an RAF Chipmunk training aircraft. Upside down, over Shropshire for nearly an hour.
3 Lobbed a brick into the Illinois River from the top of Starved Rock, a local beauty spot. The river was too far below to see the splash.
4 Wagered on somebody's inability to beat the system on the Aliens board game, and lost. Much to everybody's surprise and amusement.
5 Stood on the sky deck of the Sears Tower in Chicago, a quarter mile high above the street.
6 Shook hands with Buddy Guy (a moment of supreme fan-boying).
7 Thrown up so hard, a mushroom came out my nose.
8 Skinny dipped in Llyn Cau, the lake atop Cader Idris. I was 17, a great deal thinner, and the water was very, very cold.
9 Taken part in a piggy back race on Wolverhampton Ring Road at 2.30 am.
10 Missed a sure thing because I didn't realise what was going on even when the sure thing bit me. Literally. If naivety was a crime, I would be doing life off the back of that one incident. And no, I won't elaborate until I have had at least two bottles of merlot.
Tra-la. To work.
