Thread: Surprising things you've never done

    Surprising things you've never done

    While watching the new Marmite commercial last night, I realised I'd never tasted it. Got thinking about it and realised there are a few other things I've never done which most people have like riding a motorcycle (not even pillion) going on a diet or using an iron. What about you?

    My missus was surprised to hear I had never seen the film ET. Not avoided it, it just never happened.

    Anyway, she's put me right now and I've watched it. So I can never say I've never seen it again!

    I have never watched a game of football. I've managed a few minutes of World Cup games before boredom sets in and I do something else.
    I have never played Golf.
    I have never played Cricket.
    (as you can probably tell, I'm not a fan of ball games!)

    Never partaken of hard drugs, knowingly received anal sex, driven in a foreign country, purchased anything by Oasis (or ever will), seen the film Avatar, eaten a mushroom.

    Never been Pot-holing - and never will due to claustrophobia.

    Never flown a Plane/Helicopter - Would love to give it a try.

    Not owned a Rolex - This is now high on the bucket list.

    Not sure the first two are surprising, but I suppose it depends who you mix with.

    Indeed, it can't be that because you must have found out somehow. Narrows things down a bit

    Eaten a Pot Noodle, watched Game of Thrones or owned an Apple product.

    Never eaten a raw tomato or a pork pie, a fact that provoked the response"you've never eaten a growler" from a surprised work colleague.

    I was quickly informed growler is a Yorkshire term for a pork pie. Sighs of relief all round
