I expect you have used algebra without realising

What, didn't you take maths exams or tests with them in (eg Maths GCSE)

Quite!

If you can work out things like "what's 20% of £2.80" or needed to know how many 70cm tiles to buy to cover a 4 x 3.5m floor... adjusted ingredients in recipes... Shared bills/worked out how much everyone owes for dinner....

You're doing algebra

Taken crack
Been to a rugby match
Seen Home Alone
Been on any fairground rides more aggressive than the tea cups
Been to bingo

I have no particular urge to put any of these on my bucket list. I'm old enough to know what I like and there's a reason I've avoided all of these.

Watched Star Wars

When the first star wars was released I worked in a cinema in school holidays. I saw it three times a day every day for six weeks.
Never seen the very start (showing people to seats in the days when usherettes actually showed people to their seats) or a patch in the middle (getting ice cream tray ready and cashing up after ice cream sales).

Never read a Harry Potter book or seen a Harry Potter film.
Or HP play.

Hibernatingtilspring · 16/07/2025 18:38

Watched a Hugh Grant film
Drank a cup of tea
Had my nails/eyebrows done

Eaten meat or cheese.
Done anything remotely intimate with a woman, which I imagine is a relief to 50% of the population.
Watched lost or the walking dead.
Lived alone.

cannychanter · 16/07/2025 21:42

Watched anything, or read any article, relating to the Kardashians.
Read or watched Harry Potter.
Watched Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Game of Thrones.
Broken a bone.
Been to Cornwall.

ruethewhirl · 16/07/2025 23:06

Watched Love Island (and never will, despite quite liking some reality TV);
Been stung by a bee or wasp (which at 57 I think is pretty good going, although it does mean I'm disproportionately afraid of being stung);
Taken drugs unless you count a single puff on a joint in my twenties (also not bad considering I grew up in a town with a drug problem and used to party a lot);
Smoked even 1 puff of a 'normal' cigarette;
Been to Nandos;
Had surgery (unless you count ingrowing toenails grimace) or been an inpatient in hospital;
Read any of Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones, or seen any of the TV/film tie-ins;
Changed a nappy or even wiped a bottom other than my own (no kids, didn't have any younger siblings/relatives growing up);
Eaten Marmite or Bovril, the smell of both is enough to put me off.

So how do you know who the Kardashians are if you've never read or watched a single thing about them?

Edited

Is it so impossible to believe that a person might know about them from hearing about them, yet not deliberately watched a programme or read an article about them?
