Something!

I've also not had a tattoo
Or there was something about a spaniel too.....

I have had fun looking at all the 'never's and I realise i must have done quite a lot!

From the previous I have never:

Driven an articulated Lorry
Had a tattoo
Been to Disneyland (I chose to go to six flags in California instead as I love a rollercoaster)
Been south of Egypt in Africa

I’ve never represented my country in a sporting competition.

I’ve never won the Booker Prize.
I’ve never made my own vol-au-vents.
I’ve never murdered anyone.

I never finished reading fifty shades as it was utterly crap
I haven't had a threesome either

I had a son so I guess I grew a penis for a while

And I've never (yet) had a stepfather so i guess that one doesn't count

I never managed to keep the absolute love of my life either

I am also pleased to say that I have never said ‘no is a complete sentence’ ‘did you mean to be so rude’ or addressed anyone as ‘random man’ although this was the most random 'never' on the thread

I will add that I have never been in a helicopter or a hot air balloon but would love to!

...all the others I had done

47

Been a bridesmaid
Worn, or ever tied, a tie

Er....had anal sex..?!

I’m 48, and I’ve never … um … been arrested?!

I’ve never been to Glastonbury, but have been to lots of other festivals.

I’ve never had a tattoo and never will.

Everything else I’ve wanted to do, I’ve done.

@GrumpyDullard I don't think people are necessarily proud of the things they haven't done - I see them as totally random lists of things which others may think of as being normal achievements
