Tam Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Well, it's finally time. On Sunday I say goodbye to my twenties and arrive firmly (or indeed wobbilyly 😳) into my 30s. Apart from having a couple of glasses of pop and some jelly on Saturday night 😬with me mates and a serious blat on Sunday, what else should I have done by now / do I need to do in the next two days 🤔 Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 30 Isn't old (if you're a tree) The good thing about being 30 is that you can no longer die young As for suggestions: By 30 you should have tried sleeping with a member of the Rolling Stones Armed robbery Streaking Skinny dipping in the Serpentine at midnight and at noon Just wait till you get really old like me ☹️ Paul Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 You're not old Paul, you've just experienced life 😬 I sincerely hope you didn't try to sleep with one of the Rolling Stones 😳 (and frankly, I think my chances are rather slim too 😬) Does armed robbery include threatening Michael with a rolling pin if he won't let me use the credit card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony pashley Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Included in my tally so far, are: 1) potentially fatal (not recommended). 2) under supervision (does that count?) 3) well, nearly... a one-nighter to mid-Sweden to drink beer and watch Nürburgring videos. [ 4: don't have a PC ] 5) couldn't even grasp their alphabet...! 10) easily done. 11) ditto. 21) indoors only. 24) easily done! (although, does it count if it has no roof at all?) 29) still trying to re-assemble... 30) does it count if the 3rd-party admits liability? 33) not likely to be repeated in the near future. tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
