Things you've never done

[JohnW]

.....................some of you folk need to get out more as pointing out how little experience of life you have does not perhaps create quite the impression you might expect.................. I am not being critical but I can't help thinking it!

................but you see, the rest of us aren't perfect.

Hi,
My old teacher said always keep your hands behind the blade
Then when making my first speaker enclosures I put my little finger under the work, the chizel slipped and went through the flesh and out the other side
When using power tools I always hold on to tool when it powers down, before putting it down.
I guess you had your other hand where it should'nt of been

If I had the choice between my life which involves travelling for pleasure, and travelling for work, or not travelling for either, I think I would choose the one I have, but I hate travelling for work so much it's a close run thing, and I can understand people who choose the latter have their own priorities and desires.

Like football; I cannot stand it, yet so many folk get so much out of it, that many probably could not grasp how anyone would not want to go to a game given the chance.

Reading is another big one.

Being social is perhaps even more divisive. Some folk can't live without people, some can't live with. I know where I stand, and I am sure you all do regarding yourselves.

As it happens, just over a week ago I took a slice out of my little finger whilst grating carrots. The sliver of skin disappeared into the bowl. I didn't actually remark, "I've really put my body and soul into today's lunch" but I said something on those lines... A week later it's still a bit sore.

Yep,that's the sum of it,no excuses,it shouldn't have been there.

I was out for a ride today and got to reflecting about people who have never known the joys of cycling. It got me thinking about events I have never experienced. Here are few, can you add any more?
(1) I've never been to Spain
(2) I've never bought a lottery ticket
(3) I've never tasted vodka
(4) I have never experienced drugs of any kind, in spite of having my formative years in the 60's when it was supposed to be free love and all that.
(5) I've never been to a football match (I'm particularly proud of that one)

I have been to Spain six times.

I've never bought a lottery ticket, tasted vodka or taken drugs.

I've been to about 2000 football matches.


My claim to fame is that I'm in my 50s and I've never been on an aeroplane. I'm not green or anything. I've just had office jobs in various UK cities and always taken holidays in England, Wales, Scotland or parts of Europe easily reachable by bicycle, car or train.

A couple of obscure ones

Never operated a wind or water mill
never operated a set of canal locks

never driven a snow mobile
never sailed a sailing boat
never driven a Diesel locomotive
never ridden a unicycle nor a penny farthing

[Andyw]

never operated a set of canal locks

I had exactly the same thought as I crossed the Kennet and Avon Saturday afternoon on my bike.

I was quite proud of never having been to Blackpool however staying in the South Lakes at the weekend and a rainy day thought why not. Give it a go. Wish I hadn't bothered. Quite as expected.
