How would I go about getting such a precious object as a TheatreBoard badge please Meeting one of us in person, mostly. We don't have a system at present, watch this space. I think I’d quite like one ,where can we meet? Outside the St. Martins with a white carnation behind my ear? 😂 |

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 ? |

When I was SmallPaul, my favourite thing in the world was listening to my grandparents wartime stories. I'm thankful every day, but today I'm especially thankful that I've never done anything remotely brave or heroic. Not because I couldn't (I hope I could), but because I haven't had to.
As the Queen herself said yesterday, that generation really were cut from a different cloth.

My grandfather died last week, he learnt to fly spifires but was never in combat, I regret now we never talked about it when he was well enough. We're not a family but talks but should have overcome that.

We're not a family but talks but should have overcome that. Sorry to hear about your grandfathers passing. For him to have been able to have flown in such a magnificent aircraft as a Spitfire is a memory to cherish. |

Oh come now, must we blame Theresa May for everything?? At work we recently joked about mini mental statement tests. What month is it? What's your date of birth? Who is the current prime minister... Can't blame anyone for failing the last question |

Apparently American paramedics are perfectly happy to accept "oh dear god no" when asking suspected concussion patients who the current president is.

We're not a family but talks but should have overcome that. Sorry about your grandfather. I wish I'd spoken to mine more about it too. My grandad was in a submarine for D-Day (on his 22nd birthday!) and I'd love to hear more about it but only really learned of what he did after he was gone. |

Never been to Cornwall (but I've been to Devon countless times.) Are you the Devil? |

Never seen Game of Thrones either but that seems quite common. To expand on it, never seen a single thing on any pay TV channel. Never seen a minute of Friends, Seinfeld, Little Britain, Peep Show, The Thick of It, Absolutely Fabulous, Vicar of Dibley. Never been to Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Never been skiing. Never been on a motorbike. Can’t tell you the name of any of the Queen’s great-grandchildren. Never had a Facebook account. Or Instagram. Never said the word “Uni” or “Veggie”. Never been to a party.
