Although constantly laughed at the cyclist, as it reminded me of Gavin Carter.

Who would have thought an Electric Landrover defender would excit so many!!!

 

8) Run the London Marathon – being 20 stone(september 2014) and rather tall, this is a bigger challenge than I dare think about.

24) Watch a Norwich City Football match  – those who know me will know this will be the toughest challenge to even get me into Norwich.

25) Face a fast blower for an over of cricket – after playing in a charity match last year and surviving a few fast bowls, do I have the bottle to face a professional bolwer??

35) Say NO at least five times before my 40th , when people ask for assistance (being double booked does not count)  – this goes right against my thought process, I’m the type of guy who has always put others before me. This is going to hurt.
