Careful about the immortality wish - you need to ask for immortality coupled with youth and good health.

  1. to have every pair of shoes I’ve owned since I was 10 in new condition
  2. to be able to drink as much alcohol as I like without getting more than pleasantly squiffy
  3. happiness for DD (thought I should include something conventional)
KvotheTheBloodless · 13/09/2026 22:23
  1. For DS to have a happy and fulfilling life.
  1. Pots of money.
  1. Perfect figure without trying.

Enough money to retire, not to live lavishly, just to live comfortably, with space from people, without worry. I just want anxiety to be minimised.

Better feet and legs, not just from an aesthetic view (although that would be good) but for less pain and discomfort.

That society (UK and globally) just does better. We have allowed machines/screens to rule us and it has been to our detriment. We crave more, over consume, compare, insult, denigrate, allowed nastiness to be a default. I wish we could just all get on, respect each other and realise that we all suffer hardships regardless of where we are in life, there is no need to add to the load.

The ability to have a few drinks without needing two days to recover (I used to drink more on a work night than I had yesterday, I've achieved NOTHING today!)

Legs a couple of inches longer

Chockadoo · 13/09/2026 22:42

For all people and animals everywhere always to be happy. That's it

NerdyBird · 13/09/2026 22:42

Just one for me, to have my DH back.

MimiTheMinkey · 13/09/2026 22:46

I'd ask for
fixing my child's medical condition
a fulfilled life for each of my children
a good outcome for a friend's ill son.
I'd write a nice thank you letter afterwards.

TheChosenTwo · 13/09/2026 22:46

Good health and happiness for all of my loved ones and everyone who is a good person at heart.

other than that one very small wish, I’d give up subsequent ones if you would agree to grant @Hoodle ’s third wish!

No 1 will be solved in 2 years' time with no genie. Or maybe I am the genie.

No 1 will just carry on with someone else at the helm. Trump’s ideology will be the blueprint for US politics whoever is president. It’s the end of democracy as we know it.

TonyDancer · 14/09/2026 13:17
  1. For all the war mongering world leaders to put their egos to one side and look at the shit show they’ve created.
  2. For all the new babies born into our family over the last year and a bit to have happy healthy lives
  3. To win enough money to live somewhere nicer and buy some scanners for Guy’s Hospital
