Tim over at Bringing up Charlie has started something new. It may even turn into a meme.
As a result of some new-fangled programme on the wireless, which seems to be called I’ve Never Seen Star Wars, Tim has come to realise that there are a collection of things he’s never done or which have somehow passed him by, but which everyone assumes everyone else actually has done. And guess what? The summit of his list is never having seen Star Wars.
Tim then goes on to challenge the rest of us to document the things we’ve never done but which might surprise our friends. Being as I like memes, and I’m insatiably curious about other people, it would be churlish of me not to join in. So here’s my list of a dozen (apparently common) things I’ve never done.
- Seen Star Wars or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Clockwork Orange or any of those other iconic films. (See, Tim, you aren’t the only one!)
- Eaten oysters or tripe
- Worn a dinner jacket or a cocktail dress
- Been skinny dipping
- Played strip poker or strip pool
- Taken recreational drugs
- Driven a car or ridden motorbike
- Watched Eastenders or (again like Tim) Friends or Downton Abbey
- Lusted after Jennifer Aniston or Pamela Anderson
- Been to the races (horses or dogs)
- Been on a package holiday
- Broken a bone
Interestingly only one thing on that list bothers me not to have done. Anyone care to guess which one?
So now I dare everyone else to tell, their darkest, secret, “I’ve never dones” — either in the comments here or on your own blog (with a link in the comments), so we can all have a good snigger. 🙂
