Just chatting away here to the divine Minime and it got me thinking what amazing or unusual or interesting things any of us have done or seen in our lives. I'm not talking about the usual things like raising kids or seeing friends or kids getting married or start school etc etc but the stuff that people genuinely never ever get to do or see or that. handshake

Well I seen many interesting things in my lifetim but I will keep it brief. When I was 4 I went to my first ever concert which was in America. There was a rodeo in Houston, Texas and Elvis was playing. I also got to spend one Easter in Israel. I have also visited Hiroshoma 3 days before the 40th anniversary of the bomb being dropped. Lastly I have also seen the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico.

I lived in Kenya for a couple of years and flew up the rift valley in a two-seater aeroplane made of paper and balsa wood. I also panned for gold, almost got stoned to death, lived with the Masai for a few days, killed an 8 ft black Mamba in my house, had an earwig nest fall down on my head, and many other things too numerous to mention. I have lived a very exciting life, full of adventures up to now, not just there but everywhere I have been.grin

I qualiified for the World Grand Prix in darts back in 2000. It was the first time it was in Citywest hotel. Played 8 qualifying rounds in Croke Park over a weekend and won them all. Played ex world champion Bob Anderson in the first round and got hammered 7-2. Took two legs off him and threw 5 180's against him so happy with that.
