I found a really old bucket list on my hard drive. I have no idea when I wrote this, but it must be bumping up on 20 years at least if snooker's on it. They're certainly all things I want(ed) to do, but I'd now call this more of a to-do list. bucket lists feel a bit more do or die, for wont of a better expression. These days my bucket list is pretty small, as you can see above.
