What's your impossible?

[Arch]

What is that Arch?

Well, it makes perfect sense. You go to a very big building, with a series of ladders in it, each longer than the last. You climb each in turn, until you've climbed so high that flying seems like the easy option. Since you go higher and higher, it's called hy-notism...

That's a whole new impossible for some people, I got grounded for bringing a very large and very dead one home once. My mum wasn't as impressed with it as we thought she'd be.

I think the cats show a similar level of disappointment when we don't appreciate dead vermin "pressies" .

Oh, and my impossible? I don't know really, I have no desire to go all this ironman type stuff. I do have a vague plan, once I've saved up a bit, to go off and 'do' Europe on my bike, camping and so on. Doesn't sound like much, but as I'm the sort of person who likes plans in writing, in advance, preferably in triplicate, the idea of just setting off with a tent and seeing what happens is actually quite scary.

I was answering to FM and you are being a right cow.

Err.. have I missed something here that elicits that kind of response?

Dentists are my flying. Flying was my flying, but then I got used to it, even finding heavy turbulence tolerable when my plane encountered it. Dentistry is something else though...

"Is it safe?" My mum obviously thought it was, never realising that she had delivered me into the sadistic hands of the dentist-from-hell. I've never recovered from that childhood dental appointment. Drill into a nerve without anaesthetic - check. Knee in chest and big strong hands on my jaws when I refused to open my mouth after that - check. Screaming abuse at terrified child patient - check. Continuing painful dental work on child after trauma had induced fainting - check.

BASTARD!!!!!!!!!! !!

Sorry about that... I feel better now!

There's a local female dentist who claims to be extremely sensitive to the needs of nervous dental patients. If I had the money and the courage, I'd make an appointment with her and get to work her way through my mouth sorting out all the problems that have accumulated over the years.

Once I'd conquered the fear of the dentist, I'd consider giving blood as my next challenge.

For me, i really want to do the Plymouth Dakar rally. I've just never found anyone that wants to do it with me. Grrrr

The rules:


1:

Competing cars must cost less than £100.​

2:

Maximum budget for the vehicle Challenge preparation: £15​

3:

Once the Challenge is underway, there will be no form of formal assistance from the organisers in any way - Teams are

on their own.​

4:

All of vehicles that make the full distance to Tashkent, Bamako and Banjul MUST be handed over to the Challenge Control Group in the appropriate jurisdiction, to be auctioned under controlled conditions in aid of local Charities. Failure to comply may result in legal action by local Customs agencies against guilty participants.​

5:

All vehicles must be LEFT-HAND DRIVE for the Banjul Challenge!!

LHD is the preference for the Timbuktu and Silk Road Challenges, but not essential.


Anyway, must go. Brekkie calls then a bit of island hopping

My impossible? Am I not too old to dream of impossibles? Never mind.

I've often wanted to be able to play Rach 3. Don't even ask why! I can do the first two pages (before it gets hairy), mind...

 

[Joe]

Round the world on a bike. would like to do the record too, but as it needs (IMHO) to be left a few years to regain it's 'novelty', then I might be too old to do it in record time.

Still would like to do a lap 'de la globe' on my own, just to say I did.

You are me!

It could be that a witty explanation of "hynotism" was not found funny by someone with a phobia of flying, (although someone else was told to P off).

Mines pretty modest compared to most on here but I'd like to be able to ride Snowdown about this time next Year.
