A bit quiet on here and with one or two on the missing list (Col? Stan?), so perhaps a bit of light-hearted relief might be in order.

There's a thoroughly depressing McDonald's ad on TV at the moment about the 50 year anniversary of the Big Mac (as if that was something to be celebrated!). It made me realise with some pride that I've never sampled the delights of said comestible.

So the thing is, what are the 10 things that you have happily never done that everyone else seems to have done?

Here's my effort...

Never had a Big Mac
Never read Harry Potter
Never had a Costa
Never seen Sound of Music
Never been to Scotland
Never eaten Sushi
Never driven a car
Never read 50 Shades
Never watched a Superhero film
Never voted Tory

Go on so.

Fairly similar ...

I might eat a McDonalds once or twice a year
Never read or seen Harry Potter or Pirates of the Caribbean
Never had a Costa or use any coffee chain shop
Never seen Sound of Music
Never been to Scotland ( closest I've been is Carlisle, every game home and away 82/83 season 0-1 defeat. )
Never read 50 Shades
I don't think I'll ever vote again. I dislike (almost) all politicians.
Never watched 'Dad's Army'
Never watched 'The Good Life' or any similar shows although I do know the wife of Ian La Frenais who co-wrote a lot of these shows ( I don't really watch much TV in general other than sports and films or some very selective viewing )
Never watched Star Trek
Never watched Dr Who
Never watched Star Wars
Never been to Goodison Park
Never been to either of Man City's grounds


Never driven a car ... I find that quite bizarre/amazing !

Col's taking a break as he is rehearsing for the lead role in a production of Les Mis. I think Stan is deliberately standing off as he doesn't possess a porsche like DT and is somewhat envious. Failing that he probably got pushed into a canal in Holland and has since failed to materialise.

Hmmm.

Never been arrested.
Never smoked a cigarette.
Never done a bungee jump.
Never been to India.
Never had fatal car crash.
Never flew in Concorde- wish I'd done one of those Iceland trips.
Never flown anything other than economy.
Never failed to vote in an election.
Never been to an opera.
Never eaten at The Ivy, Gavroche etc.

Interesting theme. Lots of 'never done' but few regrets.

I’ll do ten. The first 5 I’ve never done and never intend to; the second 5 I’ve never done but would like to...

1) Vote Labour or Green
2) Have gay sex
3) Take Class A drugs
4) Buy a copy of The Big Issue (no problem with the idea or cause, just find the manner in which they’re sold annoying)
5) Been on a skiing holiday (I have the balance of Heather Mills when Dutch Elm’s in town)

6) Have a threesome (two laydees, of course)
7) Have a ride in a helicopter
8) Visit Ireland, Canada and the Caribbean
9) Sell a certain something that I own that would put me on a far more comfortable financial footing and enable my life to become more ‘want to’ than ‘have to’.
10) Experience the sensation of weightlessness

Get yourself to prison, Jeff. There are lots of people that’ll be Liz Hurley there for you: :)

I don't consider it strange, but a lot of people seem to. Some seem to get quite annoyed about it, which really is bizarre.

I think it's easier to not have a car if you never have had one.

I had two lessons off a mate about 10 years ago. The main benefit was having the provisional driving licence for those occasions when I got ID'd.
