shrimp. I did run a marathon yesterday,have worked in a soup kitchen on Christmas day and did the BBQ off with may hair even I have always wanted a canal holiday on a Rosie and Jim boat though. I am not one for wanting too much either so I find that rather a hard question, Loved the film too.

Seen the Northern Lights, the Pyramids, sailed from one end of the shannon to the other, sailed the Caribbean,

toured the Canadian Rockies, been to India, Singapore, Malaya, stationed in the Australian outback for a year and have made some wonderful friends in all those places.

Have seen the bodies in the streets of Cyprus in 1963 and now see it at peace and thats not bad for any bucket list.
