Simple innit - just list the 10 things you think people should experience before death comes calling:

  1. Fly an aircraft - no feeling like the instructor getting out and saying, "You're on your own, pal"
  2. Jump out of an aircraft - no feeling in the world like skydiving
  3. Learn to play a musical instrument
  4. Learn a foreign language
  5. Witness a human birth
  6. Sleep rough
  7. Help with a charity
  8. Attend a rock concert
  9. Learn to ski
  10. Go on a protest rally to parliament
I could list more but those sprung easiest to mind. Your go

Mancunian in self imposed exile in leafy Cheshire
Seeing the heartbeat of your first unborn child would rank highly on my list.

Master A+T and Miss A_T's first proper laugh... I can still remember where each of them were when they did it and it still creases me up.

I would like to experience what it is like to become a lottery millionaire.

I can't even begin to imagine what goes throught minds of folk the moment they realise that they are rich beyond their wildest dreams, I'd like to give that a go. It must be quite an extraordinary experience.

I have been the subject in a photograph in a long established magazine, the photographer was Terence Donavon. Does that count?

2. Reply to the introduction "I am **** **** from the Guardian and I would like to write an article about you." with "Not just now, I'm eating my dinner."

Does the Daily Mirror and the Sun count? Done that

3. Go to a solicitor about buying a house and see the pile of paper that gets pushed to one side when you say you are buying for cash

Done that.

4. hear yourself playing on Radio 3 late at night.

BBC Oxford any good? Done that.

5. Take part in a long industrial dispute, but only during a warm dry summer.

Nope, ain't done that

6. Be present at the liberation of a country from its tyrant.

Ain't done that either

7. Be on the stage of a world famous theatre or concert hall.

Done that. Twice.
8. Hold an infant great ape.

A chimp shat on my lap once.

9. Have someone ask you for a signed photograph.

Yep! Done that too. It ain't all that to be honest.

10. Save someone from an accidental death.

Done that too I'm pleased to say.
