If you were to pick 5 things you want to achieve in your life that you have not yet done, what would they be and why?

Here’s my 5 in no particular order:

1.Climb Mount Everest: The reason I want to do this is because I want to feel the adrenalin pumping through my blood as I push myself to do one of the hardest feats I consider there to be for my body and mind. I have a picture of Everest showing the main paths taken by climbers and one day I want to be able to point to that picture and say “I went this way”

2.Go on a long-haul flight: This might seem like nothing much to most but for me this would be a real achievement because it is physically impossible for me to do at the moment. I’d love to visit somewhere like Australia or Canada, but at the moment it’s something I can only dream about.

3.Tell someone I love them and mean it: I think I was born incapable of loving anyone! I’m a strange sort of person, I don’t get heartbroken when someone close to me dies, I just miss their presence, but that’s nowhere near the same thing. I wouldn’t exactly be a wreck if I was told I could never see my family again, because I barely speak to them as it is, and I hate to say it, but it feels like I barely know them.

4.Not have kids: Another slightly odd one but I have my reasons. I don’t like this world we live in one little bit so I would never even consider bringing a child into it. Besides, most people I know that have kids have them for entirely selfish reasons, really its like that for a lot of people these days, as it isn’t necessary for most of us to reproduce, after all the point of kids is to continue the survival of the species, but the world is overpopulated as it is, and I really don’t want to add to that.

5.Manage a full week in Uni: Another seemingly easy one, but have yet to go an entire week in playschool/primary school/secondary school/Uni without missing something. I’ve sworn myself to doing a full week when I go back in February and it will be a huge achievement for me if I succeed.

Your turn....

Here are my top 5:

1) To become a footballer - I've always dreamed of playing football on the big stage, but it looks like it's too late to get spotted now. I absolutly love football and wouldn't mind if I was on a very low wage, as long as I was playing first team football.

2) Get a car and enough money to do it up - I'll probably be taking my driving lessons this year and hopefully pass. I'd love to get a decent car with enough money to add spoilers and things to it.

3) Settle down with girl - I've had a few girlfriends, but no of them that I would settle down with. I'd love to meet the right one and settle down with them in my twenties and perhaps have 2-3 kids.

4) Parachuting - It's something I've always been interested in doing.

5) Be in a situation like Die Hard - I love films like these and wouldn't mind being in the same situation. You'd be scared while you'll in it, but it would be great fun at the same time.

How old are you? My cousin was signed up by Wigan Athletic when he was 23, he got homesick though and came back and plays for Shelbourne here now.

I'm 18 in May and still have a little bit of hope. It will be really difficult with the amount of Foreigners playing in the English game now and not many scouts around where I live.

Not sure that I'm good enough for Division 1 and above, but maybe be good enough for Division 2.

Did your cousin manage to break into the first team at Wigan?

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Brilliant service.
Love it, love it, love it!
