Thank God I've only done 1.5 of those things this year.

I would also say:
-To worry about getting Corona Virus yourself
- To quit Tinder
- To complain about how AFL/anything was better in your day/bitch about the yoof of today
- To plan your retirement
- To argue for more Police powers

WHERE THE fu** HAVE YOU BEEN

been chasing the dream really. but now there's nothing to do so thought may as well jump on BF and chat some s**t!

- having a fall

i was thinking about this recently when I toyed with the idea of taking up skateboarding. as (sober) adults we almost never fall over, while kids are falling over all the time. I reckon this is why things like skating are seen as juvenile pursuits. Not because there is anything inherently about skating, but because it requires a level of fearlessness that adults just don't have.

Your 40th birthday bash

Having kids.

Go travel the world instead.

That and it destroys your body. My brother has been a massive skater for 20+ years and had just given it away at 32 because of the physical toll. Decided mountain biking is a much better option.

Is he a risk taker? Mountain biking isn't taxing on your body (still need to be fit do it but it doesn't destroy your joints/back) but if you eat s**t it's easy to break bones, knock the stuffing out of yourself etc.

Yes, but no one should go on cruise ships ever.
No, people vote on party lines from 18 in many households. For some unknown reason "Young Liberals" is a thing.
No, you're way better off taking it up as a kid. Most pros turn pro in their teens.
Yes, unless they are playing Celine Dion or something in which case complaining at any age is OK.
Yes, unless the plans suggested are awful.
Yes, ranting about work is for the start of Friday drinks. No one wants to hear about it otherwise.

Yeah, it's basically a way for him to get the adrenaline fix whilst not aggravating the joint problems he's developed from skating. It was always his main mode of transport so moving from the board to the bike makes some amount of sense.

It's also a bit of a summer substitute for his skiing fix - he's always been a massive park-rat.
