... but would like to have a go?

I quite fancy having a bash at bell ringing. Does anyone else have something totally random they'd quite like to try?

Singing in the chorus of an amateur operatic or G&S society!

theboffinsarecoming · 02/03/2025 18:15

@AllProperTeaIsTheft That sounds brilliant - another thing on my list is to go and see an opera, and that one is on the cards for some time this year. They do those live screenings at the cinema so were going to see one there.

Following for ideas!

This year I've tried pottery for the first time and absolutely loved it.

theboffinsarecoming · 02/03/2025 19:05

One of my friends is a potter with a kiln, I'm going to have to ask her if she ever teaches people. I did pottery at school one year and really enjoyed it.

Live on a space station

Go on an epic round the world expedition to weird & wonderful places

Muster horses like a cowboy from one destination to another & camp along the way

Win several million on the lottery.
I'd Def be up for having a go though!

I’m quite a risk-averse person by nature but have long had an urge to go speeding down an icy track on a bobsleigh.

UtterlyOtterly · 02/03/2025 21:12

Ride a horse along a beach.

SwanOfThoseThings · 02/03/2025 21:13

I'd like to use a potters' wheel to make a mess, probably vase.

Go on one of those holidays where you swim between the Greek islands, while your luggage's follows by boat.

Definitely have a go! just handling the clay is so relaxing and therapeutic. You forget all your worries.

Never heard of this but omg I want to do it!!

comfritt · 02/03/2025 22:29

I've done quite a few things I never thought I would. That's because I was in an incredibly controlling and abusive relationship and could never express myself.
Since I've freed myself from that the sky is the limit. Although I'm too chicken to do an actual sky dive. Go Ape is my limit 😆
One life. Try it. Live it. Love it.

I want to learn to tap dance. Actually, I want to learn to do a soft shoe shuffle, but I understand that the best way to do that is to learn to tap dance.

ThePoshUns · 02/03/2025 22:32

Tap dance and high kick down some shiny stairs

edwinbear · 02/03/2025 22:32

Pole vaulting. They look like they are actually flying. DC are both members of an athletics club and had a go a couple of years ago, they were both pretty hopeless at it - I think it’s probably quite tricky. And not for nearly 50 year old mums to take up as a sport!

Teenagerantruns · 02/03/2025 22:33

I'd love to go on a long distance train trip, fancy spending a few days on a luxury train, cant afford it though🤣

princesspadam · 02/03/2025 22:35

I'd like to learn to Jive
My father was a keen jiver and did competitions (before I was born)

Big birthday this year so I'm going to have private dance lessons & learn

comfritt · 02/03/2025 22:35

@BaMamma and @ThePoshUns you need to get together

Yes!! We could duet.

I've always wanted to go on a bouncy banana on a beach holiday but when I got the opportunity to do it I froze because the sea looked deep and scary.

ZiggyZowie · 02/03/2025 22:48

Lead singer of a rock band

Learn to play the piano.

theboffinsarecoming · 03/03/2025 00:39

I've learned to play the piano, and to tap dance, and I have ridden a horse along a beach (not all at the same time, obviously). 😂

One of my greatest wishes had always been to see the Northern Lights and I always imagined that I would have to travel way up to the Arctic Circle to see them. But last year there was a massive solar flare and the aurora was visible from our home town. Standing in my back garden looking up at that is something I'll never forget.

My dad once flew on Concorde and I always wanted to do that, but obviously that will never happen now.
