Eaten a mince pie.
Never watched a game of football.
Never held a baby.
What have you never done that most people probably have?
Told the truth 😉
Wore a suit/tie or shirt + trousers or dress shoes
Currently dressed in Aldi's finest jogging bottoms and one of their long sleeve tops - as I have been for 95% of the year.
I've been rigged out in Kilt + regalia though, once for a wedding.
Been to a big gig.
Smoked a single fag.
Follow up my promise to give up alcohol after a terrible hangover.
Felt so low. When you gonna take me out of this black hole?
I've done most things. Somehow I've never heard the Mr Blobby song though. Or seen Shawshank Redemption.
Entered a betting shop or made a bet online
Done a wheelie
Done a manual
Gone no-handed
Can't do 'em.
Watched a full episode of Coronation Street.
Been on honeymoon, despite being married twice.
Give you up, run around or desert you.
Thought Friends was funny

Watched Star Wars, Friends or any Disney films
Smoked or put a bet on
Wet shaved
Been to the barbers (wife does it)

You haven’t missed anything
You've clearly never had a good kebab.
Anyway -
Seen the Usual Suspects
Voted Labour (in a GE)
enjoyed any of my kids school nativity/plays/shows
liked football, and it's pathetic tribalism.
What have you never done that most people probably have?
Voted Tory
Even in their biggest election win of the last 100 years - 1955 - the tory party still had less than 50% of the vote (of a 75% turnout) so on that occasion almost 2/3rds of those that could have voted didnt vote Tory . Its safe to say most people haven't voted Tory
Karaoke
Never been a forum big hitter nor married.
watched any sci-fi film
watched any james bond film (have seen clips but no complete film)
and not quite, but sooooo close to never having seen a photo of liz truss. was in greece when the queen died and boris was binned within days of each other. id been aware of a few names in the hat but didnt really know them and when a greek waiter told us it was liz truss it was just a shrug of the shoulders and 'same old sh1t' comment (from them as well. einai olles malakes :D). we never watch the news, she didnt last long and i managed to go through her full tenure without even knowing what our prime minister looked like. course it had to happen eventually, i accidentally saw something a mate put on facebook and spoiled it. still to this day think ive only seen one photo of her.
Karaoke
Karaoke is brilliant, you lose all sense of self, and self worth, a loss of ego, if you will...
...it's very liberating!
Watched Titanic.
Eaten tripe.
Driven a BMW or Merc.
Used a bearing press.
watched any sci-fi film
Not believing this one, science fiction covers a huge spectrum of films, not just space films.
Been to Ibiza or Glastonbury.
Had a pot noodle.
Never held a baby.
I don't know why but I find that slightly disturbing.
Never had a kebab
You haven’t missed anything.
You’re joking, aren’t you?
Go and have a chicken tikka kebab from the Soices of Kashmir in Braughton or a king sized mixed from the Turkish Delight in Chorlton and you’ll experience some of the best food you’ve ever eaten
The only thing I’ve not tried is heroin and that’s only because I tend to consider most things a bit ‘moorish’.
Smoked anything (even tobacco in a cigarette).
Drunk alcohol - just can't be arsed with it.
Been to a football match.
Danced.
I'm proper rubbish. Or maybe abnormal.
Admittedly I'm referring to Doner kebabs, scoffed after a night of boozing. Maybe just the city center kebab shops arent the creme of the crop. Shish kebab im more into, but i get that cooked pink, or 'juicy' as the term goes, if you want less carbon on the outside.
I did work the night shift for a company many moons ago boning out lamb fores(shoulders) and flanks for doner making. Company supplied the large premade doner thing on the skewer for the local shops. Quite fatty and not the best lamb I've seen imho.

I think you mean Moreish(Sometimes Morish, or Mourish) Moorish usually denotes a style of architecture, or relating to Middle Eastern culture between the 8th and 15th centuries.
But yeah, I would avoid Heroin, it is as you say Moreish. Great instantaneous flu cure incidentally.
Drank a cup of tea.
Used an aeropress
MDMA
Sound of Music
Withnail and I
Had any form of bottysex!
I've never done anything involving jumping out/off things, but everything else everyone has mentioned I seem to have done. I think I'm quite lucky not to have an addictive personality.

@susepic - you need to rectify that with 2 of the following. One in particular. Nobody should go through life without trying MDMA at least once, believe me. It’s bloody brilliant! As far as product names goes, ‘Ecstasy’ does exactly what it says on the tin 😃

Nothing is worth the come down I suffered the only time I did it.
Same with Meth. Just horrible.
Harking back to may rave days, E's really mess with your brain chemistry for a few weeks afterwards, it not so much you get a come down, the day after, it's more like long covid, you just don't feel right.
I've never done meth, but I did a lot of speed back in the day... and pretty much all drugs at one time or another....and the come down from speed is brutal, to put it lightly.
I just stick to craft beer these days.

Been to Bettys.
Been outside of the EU.
Watched a football match.
Been a member of the Sugerbabes

nope, no star wars, third encounters type stuff, no jurassic park (altho personally i wouldnt class that as SF anyway), no horror SF, i genuinely dont think ive seen one. never been much of a film watcher anyway and even accepting that SF is a broad spectrum (to include things like JP) i still dont think ive seen one.
EDIT: and if JP is indeed SF, ive also never seen any of the raiders of the lost ark stuff either if that also qualifies?
Trusted a man who; if left alone in a room, doesn't try on the tea-cosy as a hat.
Met a nice South African.
Worked with a couple and they were lovely folks.
Danced.
Ever? not even as a child? Even in the reactionary forces schools I attended, PE was often "dance and movement" Or on your own when no one was watching? Shuffled your feet to the beat? Never?
Been a member of the Sugerbabes
Your name must be on the rota though?
Smoked a cigarette
Taken recreational drugs (other than booze)

You haven't missed anything
Yeah, it was the song, which one of my best mates, who is South African, was played by his boss on his first day at work here.
never been much of a film watcher anyway
No kidding. So all those cultural touchstone that folks use as short cuts (on here especially) "These aren't the droids" "Nuke it from orbit" "I have seen things you people wouldn't believe" and on and on and on, must go straight over your head.
You haven’t missed anything
Withnail is one of those films. You either find it hilarious, or just not...I've never met anyone that seems ambivalent about it.
Eaten a banana
had to leave in the 80s due to her support of the anti-apartheid movement.
So I guess she wasn't the kind of south African the song was aimed at....
Two chicks at the same time, man.
Not sure that's something most people have done, even if every man had done so, I think they'd still be out numbered by the number of hetrosexual women + lesbians who hadn't had a threesome.
Knocked one out over a picture of Suella braverman..
Got in a fight
Owned a dog
This thread is going downhill fast :o(
Well, so far there's been 3 things listed that I haven't done...
jurassic park (altho personally i wouldnt class that as SF anyway)
How is Jurassic Park (brilliant film, by the way) not science fiction? It's literally a fictional tale about impossible/futuristic science. It doesn't have to have ray guns and little green men to be science fiction
Been a member of the Sugerbabes
You must have been in The Fall though surely?
Well, so far there’s been 3 things listed that I haven’t done…
Similar. I can report that Betty's is overrated, if that helps at all?
