Jellied eel. I wasn't expecting it to be cold with a bone in middle!

Pies that come from pie and mash shops. Greasy, no gravy but an insipid oil and random 'meat' inside

Hakarl- fermented shark in Iceland. Like eating stale urine!

You didn't go to Mrs Lovett's pie shop did you? 🤔

,@Bluetrews25 it means shitting in a fanny.

I’m afraid googling space docking (once I got past the NASA stuff) has thrown up more questions than answers. Not just the question of why, but how? Is this a team effort or solo pursuit? I won’t be trying it BTW.

willowstar · 19/07/2022 05:12

High lodge. I am quite scared of heights. Was trying to show my children the importance of facing your fears and pushing yourself .... Ha. I made it round once because I had absolutely no choice but I was in a real state. Never again.

MackenCheese · 19/07/2022 05:27

Snowboarding in my late 30s.

Davros · 19/07/2022 11:17

Never mind space docking, I'm dreading finding out what is meant by pot holing Grin

Climbing wall - really thought I'd like it, but no
Laser tag (it doesn't help that my aim is shit-to-non-existent)

Never tried oysters, Dubai or anal Grin

Ragwort · 19/07/2022 19:18

White Water Rafting ... had the safety talk .......'don't worry, it's very rare to capsize' of course our's was the only boat to capsize and we were then told 'oh yes, sadly a couple of people drowned last time'.

I am such a prude/innocent that I would just never try much of the stuff mentioned on this thread.

Mistymountain · 19/07/2022 19:28

A cruise, it was ok, but boring when at sea, so not worth the money. Also yes to paintballing I spent practically the whole time hiding behind a wall and was shot as soon as I popped out.

ThreeRingCircus · 19/07/2022 19:32

Caviar.....little fishy balls that pop in your mouth.

Talking of horrible things in your mouth 😉..... swallowing after giving a blow job. Just, yuck!

Eating cannabis brownies. I'd smoked it a lot which I quite enjoyed but ate some brownies once in Amsterdam and it was fucking awful, I thought it was going to die. Too easy to have too much via eating it!

Paintballing

Me too! Ugh! So painful 😩

Tillow4ever · 21/07/2022 11:38

I’m sure this post should be re-named “random humble brags, looking down on ‘poor people’ and a few genuine normal world things that people didn’t like”

Pretty gross actually the way a lot of these come across, intentional or not.

I must be reading a completely different thread because I'm not seeing much evidence of looking down on poor people or humble brags.

I can't see any bragging.

@IHateWasps do you mean the foreign holidays? Quite normal people have travelled.

It was Tillow4Ever who said that people were posting humblebrags and looking down on people. I quoted her post. I agree that it's normal for people to travel.

AnnaFF · 21/07/2022 13:09

@IHateWasps Apologies, I was agreeing with you.
