Not so much a blog as a progress of record. The Glorious Decade is my version of those 'things to do before...' lists that we all make. The aim is to complete this list before the 31st of December 2019.

Plenty of time...

I have split the list into ten sections:

1. Travel and Holidays
2. Nature and the Countryside
3. Adventures/ Big Days Out
4. Food and Drink
5. Life
6. Things to Make and Do
7. Literature
8. Arts and Culture
9. Britain
10. The Really Quite Difficult

If you have any suggestions or want to debate or celebrate any of my choices. If you have done some of them and want to offer help or advice. Drop me a comment or two in the comment boxes.

Here are the 100 targets for The Glorious Decade.

46. Enter a Pointless World Championships

Conkers, Nettle eating, Black Pudding Throwing, Pooh sticks... There are a lot of very silly world championships. Essentially they are a big day out and a bit of fun but at the same time there is that aspect of competitiveness. I can't seem to find a Kerbie World Championships (which I would defo win) but I will find something else, enter, and fail to win. As Homer Simpson so wisely said "when it comes to sport it isn't about who wins or loses but how drunk you get."

Oh - and to those two ten year olds on youtube playing kerbie:
  1. No. That is not a "world championship" match.
  2. The ball has to roll back at least half way, not just hit the kerb.
  3. What's all this throwing from the middle of the road after a score? That's how little girls play. Little girls and nine year olds.
