There are somethings you take for granted in everyone else. When you find out that someone hasn't seen, or done, something it comes as a genuine suprise. So, what haven't you done that everyone else has?

I haven't seen the Great Escape. Never. Not once. Not even for a minute. I don't even know the theme tune.

(Nor have I seen Chicken Run).

I've never read the judge cal saga

I haven't seen the great escape either (unless you count seeing tiny parts of it as you wander through the living room during the xmas hols- but i have seen chicken run, and because I haven't seen the great escape, Ive probably missed a whole load of references

I haven't seen any of the Godfather movies ... or Goodfellas. None of Rocky (probably for the best) and draw a complete blank when people ask me if I've seen any Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee films ...

"I haven't seen any of the Godfather movies ... or Goodfellas. None of Rocky (probably for the best) and draw a complete blank when people ask me if I've seen any Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee films ..."

    Steve

I've never even tasted mushy peas (the smell is bad enough)

I've never eaten a chicken nugget (see work with savages thread)

What do I win? :)

I've never saw the homo-erotic greatness that is TopGun.Nor Schindlers list, which my mates are always trying to get me to view.

I've not slept with another woman since I got wed 6 months back.

Thinky - you MUST see Casablanca. It's one of those movies that everyone says is a classic, and you just assume that it can't be as good as they say, but it is.

The Magnificent Seven is good, but Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is far better. Kelly's Heroes is OK, but you're not missing much if you haven't seen it.

Worked with two lads who had never seen any of the original Star Wars movies, even though they were the right age (mid-twenties) to have been around as kid when it was on the telly every six months or so and every single other kid was going completely berserk about collecting the toys, waiting for the next movie to come out, etc.

This oddity was only spotted when, upon one of them seeing a colleague playing on of the Jedi Knight Pc games, they suggested that the player should make the green lighty thing (lightsaber!) grow about 30foot long to swat a sniper on a ledge. The player said "It's a lightsaber, it can't do that", to which one of the lads replied "What's a lightsaber?".

It's all very well to have studiously avoided watching a particular movie or tv series, as you  probably have a good reason for doing so, but to be completely oblivious to a cultural phenomenon (of sorts) at a time when you are most open to suggestion, and it is all around you, takes some doing.

More extraordinary however, the two lads had managed to avoid Star Wars indepenently of each other. Amazing.

Oh yes, another thing, they are both techy beardy-weirdy types working in the IT industry.

I've never seen The League of Gentlemen.

And the more people tell me how great it is, the less I want to see it.

I've never choked my chicken at work.

Worryingly, this seems to shock an awful lot of my mates...

I once worked withsome who had never been on a train which I thought was very odd at the time. He'd also never been to London which is slightly less odd.

Never seen River City.


Vowed not to watch any more Big Brother ever (and I'm doing quite well so far even though I keep seeing a picture of a woman and the word "Kitten" on newspaper front pages.  Kitten does seem a reasonable name; judging solely on appearances she doeas make me want to get a sack, a couple of bricks and take her to the nearest canal).

Thinky - you MUST see Casablanca. It's one of those movies that everyone says is a classic, and you just assume that it can't be as good as they say, but it is.

that sounds about right re my rationale in not seeing it yet, i will watch it one day soon

thinky

I've never looked up porn on the internet

Nope - never.  I couldn't quite see the point of making myself hungry, If I can't eat.

I thought of another as well: I've never ever eaten a MacDonalds. Never.

damn , damn you tips !  i did take the kids to macD's ONCE. we were starving in westminster & couldnt find nowt else. :(

ive never seen casablanca & LOADS of fantastic other films that i would Love to see ! most blockbusters from the last 7 years also.

Daaaay two "arghhhh i hate the summer ! it becomes dominated by cretins & wimbledon, that kittens a stupid cow"

I`ve never seen the Sopranos or Big Brother

I`ve never had sex with Madonna

Some of these are very shocking!!

I'm a bit baffled by one or two people who seem to be boasting that they haven't done stuff... Surely that's a little boring? At least try it before you knock it!!

I.... Er... Hm...

I can't think of anything *really* odd...

I give up!!

I'm a bit baffled by one or two people who seem to be boasting that they haven't done stuff... Surely that's a little boring? At least try it before you knock it!!

I wasn`t boasting, but if you insist. I`ll let you know how it goes

I have never seen Pretty Woman, Notting Hill, The Beach, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the Matrix sequels, or any Jackie Chan movies.

I have never been to a rave, or the Glastonbury Festival, or tried ecstasy, amphetamines, cocaine or LSD, or sniffed solvents, or been to Ibiza, Goa or Thailand, or travelled outside of northern or central Europe and North America.

And I've never been to Ireland.

Usher, coma and visit me, and I'll make you watch many Jackie Chan movies, and you'll be able to say you've been to Ireland too.


I've never eaten prawns. They look like big pink maggots to me...

Prawns are actually quite delicious, although I can understand your squeemishness, rac. But I haven't eaten a prawn in 14 years, and I've never eaten sushi.

Ive never been to Prague, and I haven't done inter-railing either.

usher, you probably dont WANT to see the matrix sequels either.....


Thinky - you MUST see Casablanca. It's one of those movies that everyone says is a classic, and you just assume that it can't be as good as they say, but it is.


or is it?  i wastched it once when i was a bit younger and didn't really enjoy it.  admittidly i was awaitingexam results and that might have overshadowed the experience, but it just seemed like the same old love story.  and what a cop out of an ending that was.  the man forcing the woman to get on the plane with her husband instead of letting her follow her heart....ahem....sorry....had a feminist moment there............

I have never been arrested, and I've not had a parking fine or a speeding ticket in 14 years of driving. I've probably jinxed it now, though. Damn!

Im not so sure it was him stopping her, more a noble sacrifice by him.  He knew that her husband was important to the war effort, he knwew he it was her that made him good.....  so he told her paraphrased " I love you, but you have your husband and Im taking myself out of the picture"

Real life is very like that are we now saying that morally it is OK for someone to just go with that person because their heart (or whatever) says so, thats bollocks IMHO.........  In life we all look at the big picture not just what we want (or am I totally different from everyone else)

Slips
 

yes, i'd never crashed my bike, until an hour after i'd loudly proclaimed it.

volvo?!fuck!bang!!sorry didnt see you.twat.

Re: Casablanca

Well, the thing is, nowadays we are always being told that our lives are full of compromises, and if we aren't happy with that, then it's legitimate to take whatever we want, no matter who we have to screw over to get there. We are supposed to want to live completely hedonistically and do whatever we want, but most of us are far too staid and cautious to embrace such a self-indulgent creed.

Im not staid or cautious HOU, Im honorable and dependable.  Ive been with the same woman for 14 years.  Are there times when I look at another woman and think shed be nice, yes of course I do.  Im a man for fecksake.  

But I love and care for my wife and children, some things are just more important than wether Im happy 100% of the time....  

But that probably makes me old fashioned, but what the feck....  

Ill come off my high horse, now...

Slips

i think its also a case of if you commit to something sticking with it not just bailing when you then have to put some effert in to a realationship hats off to you slips as sounds like you are getting it right

Jen:

IMO, the point of the end of Casablanca is that, while Rick *could* ask her to stay, he's finally seen that there's more to life than just taking what he wants. It's a sacrifice he's making - and asking her to make - for something larger than their desires.

It's this that makes it more than just the "same old love story".

I've never accelerated sub-atomic particles to near light speeds in an attempt to unravel the mysteries of the universe, accidentally opening an extradimensional gateway for entities from a higher dimension to enter our world and enslave us all.

So, what haven't you done that everyone else has?

i have never eaten yello snow

i have never eaten yellow snow

I've never eaten Old El Paso Fanjitas.

I presume you *mean* fanjitas and not fajitas. If so, that's hilarious !!!

A fajita is a mexican soft flour tortilla rolled up with strips of meat or vegetables and sauce inside.

Also from a CUSM song (thier first single, in fact) "A Sheltered Life"


I've never been insane, put my baby on a plane
with a suitcase that's alive and kicking
And your honour I confess that I've never tasted meths
or hid a gun in a box of fried chicken
I've never been to Amsterdam, left my heart in Vietnam
or sold gum on the streets of Mexico
never smuggled pot or been murdered in my squat
two stories from the top of a no go

I've never had to steal or sell my body for a meal
cigarettes, alcohol or drugs
I've never had a tattoo or a scar that wouldn't heal
Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!

I've never been on strike, or a speeding motorbike
been propositioned beaten up or mugged
I've got 20/20 vision but I've never seen the light
 Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!

And if you're looking for trouble
You came to the wrong place

I've never gone cold turkey in a shed in Albuquerke
or played chicken on a railway line
I've never been a litter bug, given head or taken drugs
Pump it up Jack, pump it up Jack, pump it up!

Crack that whip across my thigh
stick a needle in my eye
Cross my heart and hope to die
I have lived a sheltered life



Me? I've never seen It's A Wonderful Life.

Definitely see it, Oddboy. It's dreary!

I have read no books, seen no films, worn no t-shirts, eaten no biscuits (etc etc etc) of Harry Potter.

You utter, utter bastard.

Mr C's not an utter bastard.

I am, though. ;)

Ive just fallen off my chair laughing.......

hahahahahahaha

Slips

Also from a CUSM song (thier first single, in fact) "A Sheltered Life"
 ah thats what the title was couldnt remeber
but it was also on one of my fave shirts they did (but my god there where sooo many shirts so many)

Which reminds me; we've still not seen your Bristol photos.

yeah, I know, I haven't finished going through them yet due to various hassles... I'll get round to it eventually.

"Ive just fallen off my chair laughing....... "

As have I - that was some funny shiv right there...

well, the Sopranos was alright...

I've never seen The Shawshank Redemption and, when this thread started, I'd never seen ET. I have now and it's shit.

So you've never been to Ireland, House of Usher? Trust me, you aint missing ANYTHING! Over-priced, over-rated, unfriendly kip with almost perpetually rotten weather; women who judge you by your job, house, car or lack of and God help you if you're an older, single male on a low income in this country -   the last acceptable bastion of discrimination! I'd give me eye teeth to get the hell out of this dump,  but such is the cost of living - or should that be existing?! - here that even saving for such a possibility is out of the question. Take my advice and steer well clear of the place!

I've never read a word of Harry Potter or watched more than a passing second of Friends. I have also never been arrested although I was detained over a snowballing incident once.

As for Murphyville I've been twice and the second time the rip-off element had reached epidemic proportions. I know we are stupid tourists but 7 Euros for a pint is taking the piss.

I've never watched The Office or Extras.

7 euros for a pint?!!
Where the jaysis were you drinking?

5 is the standard ripoff price in most pubs

Its amazing the amount of people I know in their 30s that have taken up smuggling booze into gigs again.

Some upstairs joint in the Temple Bar. It was a bit tacky and has an enormous tray of half pulled pints of Guiness awaiting the next sucker. Abra-Kebabra is aces though.

I haven't see the original 3 Star Wars films.

I haven't watched the Lord of the Rings films or read the books.

I've never been a blonde.

I think that I meant to say "I haven't SEEN the original 3 Star Wars films"

Damn my typing too quickly!

Matthew has arrived home and thinks I should have added my other I haven't....

I have never read a full issue of 2000ad.

I'll go and stand in the corner of shame now...

Sounds like The Quays.  May God help you.  

Could be any one of a bunch of overpriced tourist trap kips- Oliver St John Gogartys springs to mind

hellhole- stay away from temple bar

It used o be a cool spot- second hand book and comic shops, good pubs,guaranteed one of your mates would pop in, you could drink on the street- very sociable and a lot of fun

not anymore though

If you want a good pub head to Grogans, The Long Hall, Mulligans...none of these are in temple Bar

Just thought- it was in the Crane (RIP), a pub in Temple bar where  I first met Mike C, many years ago

And the Lord Edward

back on topic

I also haven't seen Casablanca or Lost

I've done absolutely everything else though

I've never walked to China. ( Not from where I'm living!!!!)

Actualley, the furtherest I have been outside the continent of Australia is Fraser Island.

I've never been married.

I've never jumped out of a plane.

To the person who was complaining about their dismal living conditions in Ireland.

With regards to my social, monetary and work status. Things are pretty much the same for me where4 I live in Australia.

~(:O.

I've never seen the corpse of anyone I knew personally (which is utterly bizarre, when I think of all the people I knew who have died, and all the dead strangers I've seen).

I've never been to a strip club (and never want to - I like naked women as much as the next man, but really, ugh).

I've never taken Ecstacy (working as a cleaner at university gigs in the early 90's put me right off 'modern' drugs).

I've never had sex with anyone I wasn't genuinely in love with(which I'm pretty happy about).

I've never seen ANY of the Godfather movies.

Modern drugs I'm not so sure about. As we all have to rely on some sort of pharmacudical when we are sick and it's interesting what may find in alot of the processed comestibles these days.

When I can say I don't take drugs intentionally.
