July 15, 2007, 12:03 am : 80 94 things to do before I die

There are loads of books of things to do before you die, websites too, mostly with a number around 100 at the start of the title. I even own one, it came free with a magazine. Some of the things in it are very interesting, so I will steal a little from there, but some things on this list are just things I want to do. Oh, and I could only come up with 80 for myself, but that’s still quite a lot when you think about it, esspecially when some lists only have 10!
