We will be in touch
No kidding. So all those cultural touchstone that folks use as short cuts (on here especially) “These aren’t the droids” “Nuke it from orbit” “I have seen things you people wouldn’t believe” and on and on and on, must go straight over your head.
indeed. no idea what films any of those quotes are from and probably many others besides.
How is Jurassic Park (brilliant film, by the way) not science fiction? It’s literally a fictional tale about impossible/futuristic science. It doesn’t have to have ray guns and little green men to be science fiction
yep, got me there, i do generally tend to think of SF as space/star trek/star wars/aliens etc, and dinosaurs as 'not SF' because they actually existed, but.......according to wikipedia.......
Science fiction (or sci-fi) is a film genre that uses speculative, fictional science-based depictions of phenomena that are not fully accepted by mainstream science, such as extraterrestrial lifeforms, spacecraft, robots, cyborgs, dinosaurs, mutants, interstellar travel, time travel, or other technologies.
..... it looks like its only the dinosaurs that ive mebbes got wrong. and that list does actually reinforce the fact that i still believe i havent seen a SF film and probably never will.
Met a nice South African.
I'm a Saffer and have it as my ringtone 🙂
Watched a single episode of
Corrie, Emmerdale, Breaking Bad, The Office, Father Ted, Mrs Browns Boys (crap, so I hear), Game of Thrones, Seinfeld, Star Trek NG

Hit a six
That is shame and I hate to tell you it is one of the most sublime feelings in the world. Probably better than Heroin or a threesome.
That was a hell of a weekend.....
dyna-ti
Never had a kebab
You haven’t missed anything
Nonsense, there are AMAZING kebabs out there
I'll be having a rare night out on Friday, and a kebab will be a huge part of it, can't eait
I think Ive done everything else listed, bar Suella Braverman related masturbation.
Grown a beard or sideburns
not even by accident from just not shaving for a bit? I can’t imagine living with a clean shaven face.
On a related note, I’ve never used a Bulldog or other rotary trimmer on my head. Mainly because I know they’ll be shit compared to a razor.
Jeez-o, I'm glad we're not playing the drinking game of this. Think I would have been in a drunken coma by now....
Um,...
Never arrested
Driven a fast car
Eaten a pear
Ridden a motorbike
Eaten a subway
Watched Strictly Come Dancing
Liked ABBA
Worn knee or elbow pads whilst cycling
Someone get this man a pear 🍐
Finished an assignment/article well before the deadline...
Found Reeves and Mortimer, Peter Kay or Ricky Gervais funny
Been picked for a school sports team (chess doesn’t count)
I’ve never not worn a watch as an adult.
Watched I'm a celebrity or big brother
Drunk red bull
Liked baked beans
Sung karaoke
Eaten oysters
And why cant you find the video?
Not believing this one, science fiction covers a huge spectrum of films, not just space films.
Yeah, I'm struggling to belive this.. I mean Jurrasic park is technically Sci-fi...
Found Reeves and Mortimer, Peter Kay or Ricky Gervais funny
I might draw the line at Gervais, but even he, has had moments of brilliance.
But Bob Mortimer? he's a comedy genuis...
Never, ever laughed at a Michael McIntyre joke. Never watched more than a trailer for any of his shows, and found even that about as funny as herpes.
cosy? Seriously? I can say, quite honestly, I haven’t seen one in use for around sixty years.
Brilliant!
It's a fair point, I don't think anyone's used a tea cosy since world war 2, for keeping a tea pot warm.
In more modern times we boil just enough water to fill a couple of cups...
The days of the stove-top tea-pot are over, unless you have a super-fancy arga range cooker type thing.
Long live the modern 3000w kettle.
The only thing I’ve not tried is heroin and that’s only because I tend to consider most things a bit ‘moorish'
It might have come via Morocco I suppose, but don't let that put you off.

in transit, maybe.

i accept that, and havent seen that either ;-). i just have no interest in films like that, never have even as a kid. never watched bond, indiana jones, dinosaurs, planet of the apes and certainly never any space films.
and there was me thinking that not having known what the prime minister looked like would be the one most people would find hard to believe 😀

Say what! I'm surrounded by heathens! Tea cosy in every day use in our house. Tea, made in a pot (which has been pre warmed) and allowed to brew tastes so much better than just slapping a tea bag around a mug of hot water. It's like the difference between coffee made from freshly ground beans and Nescafé.
A seasonally appropriate tea cosy out in the wild in rural Shropshire just now.
Long live the modern 3000w kettle. Quooker. FTFY.
From reading this thread, theres going to be a hell of a lot of people on their death bed saying 'If only...If only'.
Time is finite, get out more.
Tea-cosy? Seriously?
Seriously. My mum has a brown teapot that must be 60? years old at least (it was her mother's before she inherited it) and has a light blue knitted cosy on it.
would be the one most people would find hard to believe
The Bond films must be so ubiquitous that its almost impossible not to see them by accident just flicking through the channels on any given wet Sunday afternoon.
I don't know whether to be proud, shocked or ashamed as I read thru this thread thinking " done that" 🙂

well yes, i'll have walked through a room whilst ones been on, or as you say seen a clip whilst flicking through the channels, but thats not really the same is it? without checking my post im pretty sure i said ive never watched one, which i still believe to be the case.
I've read all of Iain Banks' books but not read any of Iain M Banks' books
