Picked up a lump of dog poo.
Watched "Peaky Blinders".
Been on any kind of ferry. (Too scared after the Zeebrugge disaster in 1979...)

I have never
Had a really close friend ?
Learned to swim, despite numerous lessons my feet just find themselves back on the floor!
Felt the need to be 'houseproud.'
Enjoyed cooking
Felt unloved ?

Probably lots more, but that's enough.
For those of you regretful non-singers.....just join a Community Choir. You will be made welcome, and might surprise yourself. Most new members swear that they have terrible voices!
Too old to learn an instrument? An 82 year old lady joined the beginners' class at our local brass band, and is learning to play the cornet. She'll never be much good, but she's having a great time trying!

I have never
.- been drunk, nor wished to.
- never smoked, not even a quick puff
- had a speeding fine in 50 years of driving.

Drunk a cup of coffee. The smell of it makes me heave. Had a sip but just tastes horrible and bitter to me .

Frosty60 Thu 17-Mar-22 13:48:46

Never:
Been on an aeroplane (would love to)
Parachute jumped (wouldn’t want to)
Had a tattoo (not interested)
Or never smoked (not even tried, absolutely hate the thought of it, oh and never ever been drunk, can’t see the point in making yourself ill through it as I don’t like been ill though it).

Been to New York! I've always wanted to go to the place my paternal granny was born, Brooklyn. She told me endless stories about growing up there in the 1900s and twice I was booked to go and twice something happened to stop me. Feel I shall never go now.

Oh do try, New York is so interesting. Don't stop just with Brooklyn though I understand that would be your primary interest. All the boroughs are so different. And if you do go, take the ferry not to Staten Island, but the one that takes you to Governor's Island, the seemingly little known gem in New York harbour.

Oops now to answer the thread.
I've never been to Greece but would love to.
I've never had a decorative tattoo only a medical one.
I've never eaten oysters and don't ever plan to try.
I've never skied, wish I'd tried when younger.

i have never learnt to swim, despite spending thousands of pounds, i have never mastered my fear of heights - despite living in a high rise flat
those are the negative

and I certainly never had a tattoo
I have never shot a gun nor do I want too

Madashell Thu 17-Mar-22 14:58:56

I have never:

Watched any form of reality TV
Travelled beyond Europe
Driven a motorbike
Told my story
Visited a make up counter and had a makeover
Bought a pair of trousers that actually fit.
Climbed Scafell

But I have -
Just had the top up of my semi-permanent tattooed eyebrows. They look fab! - after 30 years of pencilling them in every morning it is heaven. (Had one threadbare brow and the other had about 6 hairs left.) They’re very dark right now but will soon settle and look very natural.
