Things you've never done

[Cyril Haearn]

Never gone up with a hot-air balloon
The thing cannae be steered, could land anywhere

There is a lot of water round here

[Lance Dopestrong]

Had relations with Carol Vorderman.

I did the balloon in Kenya. A few months later I read that our pilot had crashed, killed himself, another passenger, and injured others… never again!

I skied on the top of a day visit to the Jungfrau. One ski came off and disappeared down the mountain. The hire guy wasnt amused. Since then I have never skied.

There was a balloon "accident", the thing went out of control, nearly managed to land, then rocketed up into the stratosphere, several people perished, must have been a scary way to die

Should balloon trips be banned?

[Lance Dopestrong]

Elvis died on the loo. Should going for a Forest be banned?

[Cyril Haearn]

One thing I used to do a lot was writing Letters to the Editor, to local papers, the CTC Gazette of course, gave that up years ago, it was fun, kept some copies

Had one published in a leading motoring journal, advocating enforcement of traffic law, there were some entertaining responses

Now I just argue on these fora

"Forest". Didn't know that one. I had to run it through my head for a few moments before I got it.
New vocabulary for Bryn.

Canoed on the Wye.
I've been on other rivers but not the Wye. I must put that right.

More fun if you work it out yourself. Kind of Cockney Rhyming slang. Forest is spelt with a capital letter, so it is a name. How many people do you know named Forest?

My pleasure, Sir. Don't forget a Donald and an Eartha.

Ben@Forest of this parish is the only one I can think of
Still don't understand, pm me the answer please if you dare not explain it publicly

Cockney *Rhymney* Slang?

Think cinematic character with the name Forest. His surname rhymes with a word for what Elvis was allegedly doing when he met his end.

[Pastychomper]

I believe the character's name intended in that excellent bit of rhyming slang was spelled "Forrest". Thought it might be helpful to Forrest that bit of information here.

(If only I'd noticed this thread yesterday, I'd have made more of that extra R.)

Back on topic: Drunk coffee, visited Antarctica, ridden a yak.

Chomped on a pasty.
