One Off The Bucket List

Recommended Posts

After watching TT Life on the edge about the isle of Man TT races my mate and I have booked up to go to the Senior TT race in June. I am not into motorcycle racing whatsoever but it is going to be something to remember and look forward to it's just a day trip from Heysham but at least I will be able to say I've been.

 

There have been threads before about wish lists and events attended and the way my life is just now, this is my focus. I have no interest in the Olympics so not bothered about that but what i want to do is :

 

FA Cup final.. has to be Bolton in it though

 

Prix De L'Arc de Triomphe, won't be this year though

 

Any Grand Prix but preferably Monaco

 

Premier League darts ... going to Newcastle later in year

 

Snooker World championship session at crucible (couldn't sit through more than 1 i don't think)

 

The Boat Race

 

Rugby league match of any sort

 

Ashes cricket match

 

Argentinian football match, preferably Boca Juniors

 

American Football match , preferably Oakland Raiders

 

Scotland in World Cup finals, i saw us in Euros in Sweden but never in World cup finals

 

Hurling match

 

A proper big World title boxing match

 

 

 

some of them are very achievable, some of them are possible if i save and some are trusting to chance

 

It's a focus in life

The chances of seeing Queen of the South in a Scottish Cup final was longer odds than that and it's ticked off the list

 

I've thought of a personal one too

 

I want a winners trophy at darts instead of the 20 or so runners up ones I've got

Just the senior or are you going for the week Jazza?

 

Get up early and get to Laurel Bank before the roads are closed. Take a flask and sarnies as you'll be hungry and (more than likely) wet and cold, but it's worth it to see bikes screaming pastyou about 4 feet away touching 200mph (and cloth I shouldn't wonder).

 

Maybe Guy Martin might win one this year, proper nutcase. But interesting with it.
