1444229 2017-12-31 19:49:00 Was feeling so sick recently I thought I'd make up an imaginary bucket list, starting with:

* Round-the-world cruise, on something like the QM2
* Trans-Canada rail trip
* Visit Antarctica on an ice breaker
* Have a meal at each of the world's top 10 Michelin rated restaurants
* Visit an albatross breeding ground
* Get my PPL
* Meet Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
* Cross the Millau Viaduct
* Visit Angel Falls, both top and bottom

Naturally most are unlikely, but dreaming is free :-)

But crossing that Millau viaduct would be something.
In a automobile or sur le bicyclette?

Whats a PPL?

1444232 2017-12-31 22:35:00 I have done a few things in my years but lately the most pleasure I get is out riding the bike trails here in Napier with my camera. Just got home after a 30K ride along the Riverbank out to the coast and back home through suburbia. Total distance on road as opposed to track is only around 1.5K's. Great stuff!!

Another writer helps repudiate this:

[You] ignore the inconvenient fact that there was no such country as Palestine or even a people called Palestinians in 1968 when Israel liberated Jerusalem from Jordanian control.

And miss the inconvenient fact that both the Golan Heights and the West Bank weren’t Palestinian land either, they were Syrian and Jordanian respectively. Jordan has since made peace with Israel and not requested the return of those lands. Israel now commands them.

Are you the West Auckland branch of BDS, prefect?
