iDaves "44 and just popped my cherry" thread has inspired me to daydream a little about stuff i've never done but seemingly everyone else in the world has:

for me the most recent things that come to mind are:

i've never even touched a harry potter book
i've never driven a "fast" car
i've never been south of the equator
i've never watched the star wars films all the way through without loosing interest

i'm sure the list will grow as people suggest different things... but the questions now out there: what haven't you done?

Never had a one to one punch up. Wierd eh? Been in a few mass scuffles but i've never stood there and had it out with somebody toe to toe.

I did once hit somebody over the head with a bag of spuds when I was 10 but it was hardly a fight because he just ran off crying.

never bummed anyone/thing!

Also never:
-set foot in a submarine (being a navy town most people here have somehow or other)
-sailed a boat
-kicked anyone in the knackers
-had a tattoo

I suppose that makes me sound a bit of a wuss really.
Being in ~~paramilitaries~~ errr, cadets as a teenager and a nurse in adulthood puts a few peculiar or interesting 'haves' in the list though i suppose.

pedantic query. I don't think i have, but let's just say you're out in the woods and overcome with lust and are getting things on when you realise you have a bit of an audience, but you don't think she's noticed so you just think, wtf? and put on a show. does that count? And should you expect a round of applause when you're done?

Of the things I want to do

Climbed a 20 000 ft mountain.
Got into the top half of a solo 24 hr results
Rebuild a ruined building into a house

Apart from that I have achieved pretty much everything I ever wanted to - lucky me

I've done that. You just need more maltodextrin energy drink

Stuff I've never done but would like to:

I've never entered a bicycle race.
I've never been 'on tour' with a band I actually play in.
I've never been 'cycle touring' or whatever you want to call it.
I've never been to the Tour de France.

Strangely I've never seen the northern lights either although I've been to Iceland twice. Have seen the midnight sun/midday dark technically although it rains so much in Iceland it's just light or dark with cloud.
