I've watched many a film & some I can repeat most of the dialogue.......but I've never seen:
ET or The Shawshank Redemption .
I feel slightly jealous of anyone who hasn't seen The Shawshank Redemption. And have the same pangs of jealousy when I find out someone hasn't seen Jaws, or read any Wodehouse or Sherlock Holmes books.
The jealousy isn't because I, too, would like to have been able to avoid them. It's because it I know there are wonderful experiences just waiting.

Treat yourself to Shawshank, Golfie. It's superb.
The same can be said of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.
Don't do films so Star Wars, ET, Rocky etc never seen, also never watched Netflix. Never flown anywhere further than four hours. Never been to a Nandos. Never been to Bluewater. Haven't been on the London Eye. Never joined Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat or Friends Reunited when it was about.
Some of those i can understand but never watched a film or flown outside Europe?
Never seen game of thrones or the new one my kids go on about, Peaky blinders, although I may have to watch the latter as an old school friend from Eaglesfield is the editor.
Never seen us beat millwall (1974-current). Various reasons I missed the games that we won in that period and seen quite a few draws. Closest was 89 when we were 2-0 up with 4 minutes left. Draw.

Indeed, Turkey and the Canaries furthest travelled, not exactly Marco Polo stuff. Films, I just can't be arsed with them bore the life out of me, just some other luvvies imaginary happenings.

I’ve also never flown outside Europe (last flight was 1994). Never been to Bluewater Not been on the London Eye Not been on Facebook, Instagram or snapchat Never bought a lottery ticket Never been in a betting shop
I wet wet myself earlier when I googled Friends Ross and when the results come up I clicked on the sofa...
It’s not a fib . I watched 10 minutes once and the horrible canned laughter was too much so I’ve never bothered since .
Pretty sure Friends was shot in front of an audience. They used canned laughter for the occasional exterior scene.
I’m not much of a Friends fan, but it was brilliantly written TV for most of its run. And I’d argue Schwimmer’s physical comedy belongs among the all time greats.
Well they must have pumped the room full of laughing gas because from what I remember the audience would laugh every 5 seconds regardless of what was being said .
Awful programme, typical American not funny humour. Only worked as the canned laughter tells the viewer when to try and be amused.

Would you say you've led a sheltered life or have you just not wasted your time on such fripperies so you can be out of your head on crack cocaine all the time?
I reckon we’ll over 50% of people have not travelled outside of Europe so not much of a shocker.
A couple of years ago I had to go to a meeting in Newcastle. One of the people I went with was a man aged about 60 who said he had never previously been further north than Cambridge.
Never seen us beat millwall (1974-current). Various reasons I missed the games that we won in that period and seen quite a few draws. Closest was 89 when we were 2-0 up with 4 minutes left. Draw.
With three on that one too. Only game against them I've missed since the early 80's is Dec 1995 in the snow. I saw a client in Higham instead. Since then I've vowed not to see a client where there is a game I can go to.

I've never been to Portugal/NI. Asian/African continent
Never had paella.

I usually either just do a gentle nod in the direction of an attractive lady, or keep my thoughts to myself.
I've never met curbs, Chris Powell, bowyer, mark kinsella, Rufus, mendonca.
What I mean by that is, Ive engaged in any form of conversation with a high amount of Charlton legends. Poor me
Food sent from heaven
I've never said that I've never done smack
I've never not written a post that branched into an idea for a thread
I've never worn a Charlton viglen shirt.
I've never shot someone.
This could go on for a while 😉
