I've never seen Star Wars

[Buenchico]

There's a radio programme (which I believe has also been trialled on TV), called "I've Never Seen 'Star Wars'". The starting point for the programme is that the guest reveals some things that they've never done in their life, even though many (or most) of the audience probably have done.

So what, good people out there, have you never done (but which most of us probably have done?).

Here's a few of mine:
1. I've never smoked a cigarette.
2. I've never been to a rock concert.
3. I've never fried an egg.
4. I've never swum in the sea.
5. I've never watched Big Brother

Oh, I nearly forgot:
6. I've never seen 'Star Wars'!

Did some adventurer or other not die after eating dog and dog livers?

I can't swim and I can't drive.
I can't knit and I can't sew.
Not too hot at cooking either.

It's gone midnight, so my fangs are showing and the hairs on the back of my hands are tickling, but I'll post a little longer.

Hi Sara:
I can match all five of your list. (I've been called for jury service, when I was teaching, but the headteacher wrote to the court to say that my services were essential in the run up to the examination period. The service was 'deferred' but I've never been called again).

PS: I was wondering how long it would be before someone mentioned sexual activity ;-)

[craft1948]

I have never....

claimed any benefits
been in trouble with the police
never been to Wales
never injected drugs
never relied on a man

[sara3]

Chris, there are other "things" I haven't done, but that was one I'd quite like to have done ;o)

I was called for jury service once at the Old Bailey, but I was heavily pregnant. they never called me again but I'd like to do it.

6) I've never killed an animal. (edit: that I'm aware of)
7) I've never played Xbox Live.
8) I've never stagedived or crowdsurfed.
9) I've never had phone sex.
10) I've never had anal sex.

well someone was going to add that last one at some point ...

benefits I have claimed in my life:
maternity benefit (twice in 1981 and 1984)
child benefit (for up to 3 children from 1981 to 2002)
Dole (for 2 weeks in 1977)
Social Security (for 12 months in 1995)
Housing benefit (for 6 weeks 2009)
JSA (for 6 weeks 2009)
Council tax benefit (for 6 weeks 2009)

Oops! I forgot to say 'Goodnight' to NoMercy. Sorry!

Wolf:
I drank that pig's blood as part of an initiation test, at the age of 16, when doing a holiday job at a pork pie factory. I've since heard of a case where a schoolboy died after his friends substituted real (animal's) blood for the fake stuff during a school play. So drinking it probably isn't a very good idea!!! (These days I'll stick to consuming it in black pudding!).

I can barely swim. Certain people who've been on the A14 or A12 today might consider that I can't drive. When I was about 7 or 8 I could knit, but I've forgotten how to now. I can sew a button on, and manage a basic blanket stitch, but that's about all. Cooking, however, is something which I'm good at. (I rarely use recipe books. I just use my instincts and see what turns out).

I've never been skiing, or ice skating, or anything to do with winter sports bbbbrrrrrrr

with you there, Dot, or not with you there, you know what I mean. Apart from slithering round on the pavement last week.

[Buenchico]

Good evening (or should that be 'morning'?), Craft.

I've tried to avoid claiming benefits but I'm now kicking myself for doing so. (When I became unemployed I waited about 18 months before claiming JSA. i ended up living on my credit cards, which is why I'm now about £10,000 in debt).

Does 'never injected drugs' mean that you've smoked them?

Why does nobody want to go to Wales? There's some stunning scenery and lots of friendly people. (Finding a decent pint of beer can be a bit of a problem though!).

Sara: Are you looking for a volunteer ;-)
(It will have to wait until the summer though; it's a bit too cool outside at the minute!)

Captain: As it gets later into the night, someone always has to think of sex!

[sara3]

Chris, ask me again in the spring ;o)

[Buenchico]

Dot & Jno:
I'm with you there. Ever since I was a kid I've been really scared of slippery surfaces (especially ones with even the slightest downhill slope). Skiing (and similar sports) hold no interest for me.

It's getting rather late now (and I've got somewhat further down this bottle of Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon than I intended to), so I'm off to bed. GOODNIGHT ALL!

[Buenchico]

I'll remember that, Sara!

Goodnight ;-)
