See I was coming to post that I had never learnt to ride a bike thinking that was unique but it seems there is a few of us, perhaps we need a support group?
Also never seen a full episode of The Simpsons or the UK version of The Office (this is apparently sacrilege)
Never had a sexual dream. That I remember at least and I do have detailled vivid dreams
In theatre terms have never seen Evita/Cats/Phantom/Les Mis on any stage anywhere. The last is deliberate due to loving the book as a young 'un and just being unable to see how. The other three, just not interested enough, yet.

Joining the "never learned to swim/ride a bike/drive despite numerous attempts)" club. Also, I have never attended a church mass, despite spending my entire life - or at least majority of it - in a Catholic country. I'd have no idea what to do with myself... Never watched The Godfather, Game of Thrones, all those Marvel universe films. Never been to the opera - I really wanted to go last year and booked a ticket, but then I got so unwell I ended up in A&E instead of the auditorium. I guess that was a sign...

I've never drunk anything alcoholic (unfortunately my uncle is keen on putting wine in tomato sauce, no idea why it's disgusting, so I have had to eat some). Never drunk coffee (if the smell makes you feel sick why would you drink it?) I've never smoked anything. I've never sworn on my own acord (the only time I've done it is when I've had to read something out loud that requires me to say a word I rather wouldn't, hate doing it, I guess it also depends on what you call a swear word. When I was little me and my sister refused to say the word dam even though it's a physical thing so we called them "sorrys" if we ever saw one, will happily use the word for the large object holding back water now but that's the only time I'll use it). So far in this thread I've thought "Fair enough" but this is one is a new world of "whaaaaaat?!!!!" I loathe cooked cheese. Even the smell of it turns my stomach. A pizza without cheese would be OK, but that would basically be just a few scraps of food scattered on a big bread plate.
And let's be honest here: if someone eats a pizza and then pukes it out on to a pavement it looks unchanged.
I hate all cheese cooked or uncooked, revolting, yuck, however I do really love pizza as long as it's got lots of yummy veg on it and no cheese in sight.

And despite occasions (none since my 30s) where I've got so drunk I've practically been swimming in it, where I've no memory of how I got home, or woken up somewhere I don't recognise, I've never had a hangover. I'm the opposite: I've had hangovers but I've never had the experience of not being able to remember anything. It took me a while to realise that forgetfulness was a thing that came with being drunk, because people would ask me if I remembered what happened the previous night and I'd be thinking "Of course I remember. I was there."

I've only had three hangovers in my life. I've been drunk, and definitely tipsy — but I guess I tend to know when to stop. Or, more likely, just eat too much beforehand. I've also never been to a religious service that wasn't a wedding or a funeral.

That is so sweet, dippy. 🙂 So rather than 617 Squadron, the dambusters, practising on Derwent Dam in Derbyshire, it was the sorrybusters practising on Derwent Sorry! Are you okay with bouncing and bomb?

Are you okay with bouncing and bomb? Yes, it would definitely have been the Derwent Sorry when I was little, I think we picked "sorry" because instead of saying dam we apologised. I don't feel like we were told swearing was awful or anything, we both just didn't want to and that's still the case. I'm fine with bouncing and bomb!

Never seen a episode of Eastenders, and never been to Ireland. Hope to change the latter next year!

I have never had a hangover. Oh there’s someone else! I don’t really drink much any more, but back in my uni days (all of 5-8 years ago) when I did used to get quite drunk, I never had a hangover. I’m just tired, which is expected given that I’ll have had less sleep than normal (I’m an early bird, even after a late night) Wow. Hello my fellow hung under drinker. Let us sit upon the grass and lace daisies in each other's hair. Actually let's not, I hate sitting on grass. I don't suppose we also share the asparagus and caffeine things as well?

Oh yeah another one - while having seen the odd bit here and there, I've never properly seen ET, all the way through. And I'm a Spielberg fan.

I had a hangover once. Luckily I've never been a big drinker so although I haven't drunk a lot of alcohol since then, it didn't really call for a major lifestyle change or anything. I absolutely 100% cannot recommend the experience, and I think mine was only actually quite a mild one.

Fascinating thread.
The things I haven't done are things I have never had/have a desire to do, so I'm not going to do them anytime soon.
I have never smoked. I have never taken drugs. I have never bungee jumped or jumped out of a plane (with or without a parachute!) I have never seen Game of Thrones. I have never been married. I have never broken a bone.

Can’t say I’ve ever tested the asparagus, but I’ve never felt like caffeine has any particular effect on me either. As someone who works in genetics, I find this very interesting. I know all of these things have been linked to genetics in some way, and now I’m wondering if it’s the same or interacting genes at play influencing these, or if they’re entirely separate. Time for some reading!

I've never left a play or musical in the interval - although I've been tempted. I like to get my money's worth. I've never eaten frogs' legs (although I have eaten snails.)I was put off when someone said they tasted like Kentucky Fried chicken. Plus I never received the TheatreBoard badge I ordered even though my payment went through.

Sorry if this is getting repetitive but ...
Never seen GoT - even though I've just come back from a holiday in N. Ireland and visited many of the areas where it was filmed. By sheer chance my last holiday was to Dubrovnik so I'm now pretty over rubbing shoulders with Americans doing the GoT tour.
Never seen a James Bond film either in the cinema or on TV. Never been to a football/cricket/rugby match Never been to Royal Ascot even though I have lived only 2 miles from the race course for around the last 35 years Never seen/read anything to do with Harry Potter Never been to Cornwall (but I've been to Devon countless times.) Never been skiing Never smoked although I'm of an age where virtually all the rest of the family and all my friends were lighting up constantly Never taken drugs

This is intended as a sort of cousin to the Theatre Amnesty and maybe less so the Show I Wish I'd Seen threads, but is more closely related to the radio/TV show Never Seen Star Wars. It's a chance to release into the world your statements of well-known stuff - films, TV shows, plays - you've never seen, books you never read, things you've never done. By which I mean, I suppose, 'big' things - never been in or on the sea, never been to a different country, never eaten Chinese food, whatever. Rather than e.g. I can say I've never seen Henry Kissinger wrapping tagliatelle around a bollard, nor have I ever laid in a bath-tub of marmalade (though I suspect some of you may have seen or done either of those, or variations of them). I mean stuff more like, real ones of mine, I've never seen Citizen Kane, nor have I ever been to the US. No way

Talking of theatreboard badges, I've naughtily never worn mine (which was the point in it right?). I got it, put it in my rucksack, never dared putting it on my bag as had been my intention. Now it's somewhere in a drawer where I think it will stay, sorry badge.
