All these people who hate skiing, it’s bloody brilliant!
I do agree with a lot on here though, Egypt was alright before the Arab spring and you need to know where to go. Sharm is deathly dull and I have no desire to go there.
Same with Dubai, boring and very hot.

Space docking… I looked it up… that’s hideous… why would any woman want to do that?

Pot holing. My battery pack got snagged, and I was convinced I was going to live out my days deep underground in the dark.

Skiing
Andouillette aka tripe sausage
Leg wax
Okra
Rollercoaster

Jesus, I can still smell that andouillette. It was 35 years ago and when I cut into it, it was like someone had opened a sewer.

Any adrenaline type sport.

I’m quite a heavily tattooed person, and have stuff in some pretty tasty places. But there is not enough money in the world that would convince me to get my tummy tattooed again 😳 One of the designs was slightly warped after having 3 DC’s - and that’s the way it will stay forever. Cannot bear the thought of going through that again.

Pork scratchings - a recipe for broken teeth

Housework - waste of life

Leg waxing - I did one tiny strip and it was an instant "nope". Far too painful

Labour.
Did about 13 hours then needed an EMCS.
2nd was an ELCS because I had zero desire to repeat that!

Yes, agree with this. I did about 20 h in and out of a birthing pool, on a ward, and in the end they went with EMCS. Once was enough for me!

People who’ve said Egypt, did you go to a resort or where did you go? I was thinking about doing a trip to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan etc to see ancient Egyptian stuff but a bit concerned how many times it has appeared on this thread!

Googling space docking…

ThickCutSteakChips · 18/07/2022 17:45

Also, I did quite enjoy them, but I can't imagine I would ever do a bungee jump or sky dive again - I've ticked them off and I'm done!
