Following on from Kent's 'things I have never done' thread, what things HAVE you done that many others haven't ? Here's my starter for ten: Been a passenger in a racing car at an average speed of 150MPH Have ridden a motorcycle at 180MPH ! (legally of course on race track) Have made love to a beautiful woman in the great outdoors Seen Status Quo live Was part of the 100,000 crowd that witnessed our first Wembley appearance in 1973 Was at Carrow Road for Martin Peter's testimonial when the 1966 World Cup side played against City Was in the middle of the Barclay when Steve Bruce headed that winner against the binners in '85 Was at Wembley when we won the league cup in '85 Seen the one and only Freddie Mercury and Queen live and finally........................................................ Have seen Cliff Richard live !!! <totallyembarrassedcantbelieveIadmittedthatemoticon>
I saw Marillion perform live BEFORE they became big - We all knew they were going to make it big at some point but it didn't last long though. I saw Queen several times I also Status Quo - they were a support act for Queen I saw David Bowie as well (along with Big Country who were superb) Also 85 in the Barclay - started at the back and ended up near the front on 89 minutes I stayed at the front for the Final and was caught climbing the fence on the TV cameras when we scored I have flown in 6 different military helicopters I have flown using 26 different airlines I was the leading scorer in a 5-A-Side league one season with 154 goals in 24 games!
Glass Spider Tour in 87 at Wembley Stadium - 100% the mutts nuts mate. I have it on DVD too and it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when "Bang Bang" & "Absolute Beginners" come on.
I am not sure I have 10 really outstanding things so I will stop as soon as I run out! 1. I have watched world cup football live (USA 94) 2. I have ran the London Marathon 3. I have swan with wild dolphins in the sea at Captiva Island (Gulf Coast USA) 4. I have played over 700 football matches (starting to scrape the barrell) Pending 5. I am supposed to be running the Great North Run in Sept. I think I need to work on my list!
Thank you KIO and all, I now realise what a boring bloody existence I have had all this time. I will sleep on this and try and come back with something tomorrow, but I have a feeling it could be a blank e-mail.
Excellent ! As I started this thread two days ago I thought it had died a death, keep 'em coming boys
After much thought I have seen the following live...........Shirley Bassey, 10cc, Darts and Deep Purple Have seen many many Norwich games of course but the highlights are Beating Man utd 2-0 and 2-1 at CR, Coventry 5-4 Norwich one Christmas period and Norwich 3 - 3 Nottingham Forest when we came back from 0-3. Divorced twice and thankfully no kids ot show for it. Does that count?
