You have seen Star Wars, right? Good/common stuff that's passed you by.

You really should check out Celebrity Life On Mars.

Mainly for the scene in which Gene Hunt calls Prince a 'Purple Suited Ponce'.

Just looking at the Dale Winton thread there. I've never seen Supermarket Sweep.

I've also never seen a pre-Daniel Craig James Bond film, which is apparently absolutely bizarre.

The only James Bond film I've seen is the 1967 Casino Royale. That was funny. Otherwise the idea of them doesn't appeal at all.

Never seen more than a few minutes of Coronation Street.

Never had the 'flu.

They never appealed to me either. Or my family. Tales of families all sitting down to watch these films used to puzzle me a bit. It never happened with us.

have vague memories of asking my dad to take me to see The Spy Who Loved Me when I was about 11 but we didn't go for some reason. Probably cos pops made some excuse not to take me. He did take me to see Bugsy Malone around the same time though. At the same cinema where I saw Star Wars on its first day of release. Because there was a huge queue but I saw a lad I was at school with near the front and I managed to push in without getting my head kicked in. I've since seen the original one again when it was re-released a few years ago and one of the sequels around the same time. Both times with a mate who was a fan and basically got me to tag along because he didn't want to go to the pictures alone. But that's it.

I've never seen Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Or Jaws. Although I have seen Jaws 2. Seen one vicious shark you've seen them all if you ask me.

It's a different film. It's a very different film. It's a different shark!

I just walked into a bookies and put a bet on, for what I have just realised is the first time in my life. tbh it was a bit of a thrill... I think I may be on a slippery slope...

Away then, what have you backed? What were the odds? What do you stand to win?

A fiver on CaB's favourite Pukka Pie-munching snookerist to win at the snooker. I stand to win enough to buy a few Pukka Pies.

My girlfriend has never seen Grease.
But she has seen Grease 2.

Yes, she's weird.

Another thing I've only ever done once in my life. Office sweepstake 1986 Grand National. Got a horse called Door Latch. Said in the Daily Mirror it was likely to win so put a tenner on. It was the very first horse to fall. I don't like horse racing anymore and not just because of that either.

I did go into a betting shop a few years ago though with a cousin who put a few bets on. When I inadvertently mentioned it to his wife later that day he totally denied that I'd been with him or indeed that he'd ever been in a bookies. Hmm, think someone has a guilty secret there.

She wasn't really his wife.

I have probably lost a few grand in the past 6 or 7 years on the betting sites but I dont think even I have ever placed a bet in a bookies. They look so seedy.

They just look so depressing. Everyone inside just looks utterly miserable. It certainly isn't the picture of champagne spraying and massive cheques that the Lotto like to push with their brand of gambling and no amount of grinning Jeff Stelling posters will change that.

Interesting that people can find the physical shops too "seedy" to venture into while the online bookies are arguably worse... not judging you here, I just find that fascinating.

I went to a Ladbrokes and really it just looked very corporate and plasticky, a bit like a McDonald's or a Burger King- no smokers of course, and no pissheads, just lots of corporate logos and government warnings. The only bleak thing was the (legal limit of) four FOBTies in a row, because those things really are evil, and I did think to myself "Should I really be financially supporting this?" but my eyes were hungry for the Pukka Pies...

In the same way I dont want to walk into a shop full of mirrors and be forced to stare and globular rotund excuse for a human body.

You dont want your own seedy little failure reflected back at you.

Until last month, I had missed out on sex. It is as good as people say it is.

I haven't read 40 shades of grey, or it's sequel (s).

Flicked through the first one. Lol flicked

I am stuck on the 5th book in the Game of Thrones series, and have only ever seen the 1st episode of the televised adaptation.


Never read the books, also only saw the first episode. Swords = boring

Quote from: littlenell on April 15, 2018, 07:59:30 PM

Never watched Downton Abbey. I've never seen a badger in the wild. I have never drunk red bull, and never eaten a pineapple fritter. I've never listened to an album by Cat Stevens, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan, despite loving the song or two I've heard by each. I've never farted openly in public, and I've never been on Twitter.

I've never seen a stripper or been to a strip club.

Never seen DA, otherwise done all the others. Done 'em mate.

Despite insulting myself from a lot of popular culture, I have actually seen the first 50 Shades of Grey film. It is genuinely the worst film I have ever seen by a considerable margin, even worse than expected.
