Oh and i forgot to mention, me and Billy Snaddon are off to the cinema this Saturday for a Saw-athon, all six films back to back, should be fun. He wanted to bring Chris Small but i talked him out of it.

I' pay a lot of money for a booze cruise down the River Dart with Len Ganley.
I'm not saying there wouldn't be any reach around action but i most certainly would not make the first move.
No sir.

Just had a quiet cry knowing that I will never accomplish a long-cherished dream.
Would have loved to go to a different town centre at lunchtime each day with the late great John Spencer, performing 'street theatre' or 'performance art' or 'being workshy idiots doing nothing of any earthly value' or whatever it's called these days.
John and I would perform various skits from assorted 'Carry On' films, with Spence excelling himself as the various Barbara Windsor characters, and your humble author doing the Kenneth Williams and Sid James parts.
Our 'showstopper' would involve us standing completely still, pretending to be statues, generating awestruck looks and responses from deluded passers-by, who would empty the contents of their wallets and purses into our begging bowl, then go home and wonder why they massively are in debt.
I think you will agree, a beautiful dream, tragically never to be realised. Quite frankly I just want to wash that dream right out of my head.

There isn't one of us who would turn down the chance of an afternoon with those marvellous Francisco lads.
In an ideal world we'd all be completely skint, and forced to sing for our supper (and more importantly our betting money) outside shops in the High Street. We'd deliver a Jive Bunny type medley of Bananarama hits and Glenn Miller classics. Our showstopper though would be doing 'Ice Ice Baby', doing rapper moves, looking sinister, taking it in turns to do the verses, then joining in together on the chorus.
Obese women would swoon at our feet and empty the contents of their purses in admiration. When our collecting hat ( one of those berets from the Manchester Commonwealth Games) had reached 100 quid, we'd head for L abdrokes, and spend the afternoon doing mug accas and forecasts on the Monmore dogs. Each time we won, we would do the Haka, complete with adrenalised stare at the shop manager.
Heaven.

I fondly remember the summer of 1986 - Alain Robideux and I hooked up and flew out to Cali. Geez - we cruised them beaches with aviator shades and no frickin tops on dude. It was all about catching rays, flipping frisbees, balling chicks and smoking doobies. Oh man - we were 'the guys'...

Surely a lovely seafood restaurant meal followed by a power-walk on the promenade with Stefan Mazrocis must rate highly on everyones list of 'Five things to do before I Die?' Shirley?

Steve Davis at a poker table... Achieved! The man is such a gent, and I could have picked his brains for days.
LOL, how many here actually got their wish?Steve Davis at a poker table... Achieved! The man is such a gent, and I could have picked his brains for days.
Personally I would "come dine with me" and have a mixture of old and new.
Firstly I would have to invite the lovely Allison Fisher along. Just as eye candy. Lovely lady. Secondly it would have to be Kirk Stevens. I would make him wear his famous "dappers" and bring the champers. I would defo ask him if he wanted to punch SilvinoFrancisco when he accused him of playing snooker under the influence of stimulating narcotics. Thirdly would have to be Steve Davis. Spitting Image called him "interesting" in the 80's and I think he would actually be very interesting. It would be good to get the Spitting Image puppet at the same time to perform a "Punch & Judy Act". The fourth and final memember would have to be Jimmy White. He would bring the contents of the bar.
NOW: I would also have entertainers. Firstly, I would ask Rob The Voice Walker to assist the evenings events, and maybe assist as the butler for the evening. he could annouce "Lets get in the mood 7 eat some food" etc.
Secondly I would have to ask Virgo and Davidson around and rig up a table for a quick game of "Big Break". We have the four players so where would the contestants come from you may ask. Well that is easy. I would ask acouple of friends around. (forgive me but I am going to pretend that they are all alive - sorry) Firstly - Spike Milligan, scondly - Oliver Reed, thirdly - Frank Sinatra, and finally George Best.
This is not too much too ask.
I think it would be a fun event. [;)]

I'd love to spend long afternoons excitedly wrapping up Christmas presents with Lee of Trowbridge, then together we'd take them down to the Post Office (singing Carols loudly as we do so), and send them by First-Class 'Signed For' mail, or "International Tracked and Signed" for overseas parcels.

Once more it emerges like Godzilla from the murky depths...It cannot be killed!
Looking back at the start if this thread makes me miss the contibutions of Snookerbacker. Fair play to the guy, his blog is pretty darn good.

I hope one day I'll be able to fulfil my dream, and take Alain Robidoux to one of those 'self-help' seminars. We would pay 650 quid (each) to be taught how to write down a list of goals, do collages of the things we like, and learn how to stroke and caress one another lovingly.
To begin the day, I'd take him and a professor of Pythagoras Theorem to a joiner's workshop to get his perfectly triangulated beard even more perfectly triangulated. This would be aligned in perfect symmetry to his sharply triangulated nose.
We would then spend lunch time snacking on Dairylea Dunkers and watching the 'Ronnie O Sullivan 147' box set. Off we would then trot, to our afternoon seminar.
After visiting the forest to find some suitable wood for a new cue, the Canadian hunk of man meat and myself would retire to a Ronnie O Sullivan-themed log cabin, where the stroking and caressing (mainly of the beard and nose areas) would commence.
I think I would get more out of it than he would.

I've often thought that an afternoon playing Scrabble with Igor Figueiredo would be time well spent - I wonder if he practises on a smaller board than we use when he's in Brazil and then has to adapt his game when he comes to Europe.
Not that Words With Friends rubbish either - proper Scrabble, with the bonus squares exactly where one would expect them to be and not placed willy-nilly around the board as if by a Battleships maestro.

I'd like it to be a Saturday morning please. If I could, I'd like to spend a few hours with Fergal O'Brien while mending our bicycles together in my back garden. We'd tell each other a few jokes, and then have a Pot Noodle for lunch... sigh...
