I have started this thread a few times before but for new members here goes:-

I have never had a tattoo
I have never mowed a lawn
I have never been in a Betting Shop

I have never opened a bottle of bubbly.

Apart from the tattoo, I have actually done most of the other things listed here. My DS1 is of an age that he read all the Terry Pratchett Discworld books as they came out and passed them on to me. DS3 is exactly of the Harry Potter generation, and I read them all as soon as he'd finished them.

Of the things I haven't done, I hope to rectify never having been to New York, maybe before my current Esta expires.

I have never eaten Oysters, would give them a try
I have never eaten Lobster, would but like to
I have never had an LSD trip, but have heard from other 65+ friends that it was amazing, but I am way too old and scared now
I have never had a tattoo, just that thing about when you get older, it ain't gonna look nice
I have never gone to University but know now I could have smashed it!
Had anything waxed! Ouch!
