As I'm heading for the big 4-0 next year, so in all likelihood I am now over half way through my life on this mortal coil, I think now is probably the right time to start writing a bucket list. So here goes my first attempt (you could probably call this an Alpha version):

• Visit San Francisco for a holiday.
• Play in the World Series of Poker Main Event at least once
• Play the European Poker Tour London Main Event at least once
• Eat a battered, deep fried Mars or Snickers.
• Test drive a Chevy Volt electric car.
