Thing you've never tried

[WeeRussell]

Similar to previous threads but those things you've never ever tried.

I'll kick-off with..

Nandos. (cheeky or otherwise)

[Rattler]

Never tried Nando's either - and intend to keep it that way!

Never tried rose wine either

[danhibees1875]

Conspiracy theories.

From the outlandish ones about Flat Earths, the moon landing, and 9/11 or even the more mild and well-observed ones about referees giving everything against Hibs, or the SFA ensuring that every final is an Old Firm final (or ensuring that every final isn't an OF final, depending on how the draw went).

I think I'm missing a trick though - they look fun from the outside.

[GlesgaeHibby]

[WeeRussell]

I've never held a bat or a ball.

[Hibbyradge]

I've never done a bungee jump or thrown myself out of an aircraft.

I have done a paraglide thing, attached to the back of a boat. Teas fun.

I've done the first and last, but have no inclination to try the middle two.

[lyonhibs]

Really properly riden a bike.
Really properly driven a car.

Drank coffee or tea.

[MSK]

Absinthe

[Hibrandenburg]

Heroin, might try it if I'm ever diagnosed with something terminal but I'm too chicken to give it a go in case I like it.

[Scouse Hibee]

Rum

[bingo70]

Coleslaw.

Won’t be changing any time soon either, never tried the stuff and if it’s even on the side of my plate I’ll no eat any chips that are near it.

Even seeing people eat it gives me the boke.

9/11 isnt really a conspiracy though.

It was a preplanned attack by the Government.
Amazing how they find no parts of a plane....but manage to find a hijackers passport.

Every demolition expert and structural engineer agrees that it was a controlled explosion.
If you look closely when the towers collapse...you can see little explosions as it falls.

Flat earth theory is abit ridiculous however.

“Every demolition expert and structural engineer agrees it was a controlled explosion.”

No they don’t. Some might. I can guarantee you that every one of them don’t agree that though. Plenty experts have come out and explained why the official story is the most plausible but that doesn’t really fit your theory.

Also, the little explosions can be attributed to molten aluminium mixing with water. But don’t let that get in the way of a good conspiracy theory with pre planted bombs and government terrorists etc.

The aluminium mixing with water at these exact coincidental times...is farcical!

Explain why tower 7 fell the same way then...when not touched?

It coincidently held all the records from there lost $3 trillion dollars they couldnt account for that was confirmed on 10th September

[Hibbyradge]

How does this conspiracy work?

Firstly, we have to accept that no-one involved in the plot has any morals. They care nothing about fellow Americans and have no friends or family who work in the buildings or they don't care about them either.

Then somehow the CIA coaxes, and probably helps, a few jihadis to learn to fly large passenger aircraft and help formulate a plan to crash them into the WTCs.

Then they employ structural engineers and demolition experts to work out how to bring down the buildings at an appropriate time after the initial collision.

A controlled explosion suggests that someone detonated the charges rather than leave it to chance, so timing was crucial during those panic struck minutes.

All those people have to have been 100% reliable in case one of them felt a bit guilty and decided to get it off his or her chest.

If this was true, you'd have to applaud the skills of those responsible, and their ability to hide it all from the public (apart from those who "know" better).

The question for me is why?

Did they really need to bring down buildings to justify a war? Wasn't the act of flying jumbo jets into New York enough?

Why did they bother ensuring that they fell in on themselves? You can't say that they cared about New York or the citizens.

I watched it unfold. Well before there was any collapse, I said that this was the start of WW3. Ok, that was an exaggeration, but no more was needed to send the troops after the culprits.

Why haven't Al Quida not grassed up the CIA for their involvement? They must have known who they were dealing with. Or don't they have intelligence, in both senses of the word?

The buildings fell because of the tons of high octane jet fuel that spewed out of the full planes.

The way the buildings fell has been explained by structural experts.

Conspiracies are funny.

Im not saying there is not more to the 9/11 than we know BUT:

If it was a controlled explosion who put them there? how many people would have had to be involved to put them there in secret without anyone knowing or finding them?
A controlled explosion leaves little wire residues all over the place. None were found.

Thermite would not have been able to melt the metal, its been proved again and again.

We all seen the planes hit. The weight on the floors collapsing on one another can show how it stacked down........imagine the downforce that would cause, all the air and debris shooting down any hole it can find.......imagine what that might look like? Yip, you guessed it little explosions of dust etc down all the vents and bursting out (most likely the elevator shafts) FFS my 6 year old could probably work that one out.

Like I said I am not saying there isint more to this, or we have not been told everything but what your suggesting is pretty ridiculous.

I have said this on here before, but just take into account (if it was an inside job) how many people would have been involved. You are talking thousands upon thousands all required to keep this secret, and not 1 person has ever came out and claimed to be involved. You simply cant have that many people in the know of such a grand scale inside job and trust they would keep schtum and not have any guilt over the many thousands dead.

Oh and forgetting Bin Laden happy to live a life of hiding by claiming he done something that wasn't him.

If your location is correct and you do indeed live in Amsterdam I think you need stay out the coffee shops for a while mate.

There are millions of people who believe a spirit in the sky created earth in a week, and look where that's got us...

In fairness all of the mainstream Christian churches actually acknowledge the theory of evolution. Pope Benedict is on record as refusing to endorse either young earth creationism or intelligent design. From 2007:

'Currently, I see in Germany, but also in the United States, a somewhat fierce debate raging between so-called "creationism" and evolutionism, presented as though they were mutually exclusive alternatives: those who believe in the Creator would not be able to conceive of evolution, and those who instead support evolution would have to exclude God. This antithesis is absurd because, on the one hand, there are so many scientific proofs in favour of evolution which appears to be a reality we can see and which enriches our knowledge of life and being as such.'

I'm wary of taking the thread of topic but it's possible to believe something whilst acknowledging an incomplete knowledge, understanding and imperfections within the theory. I believe in evolution but the concept of 'something from nothing' is a fascinating one and probably as much a philosophical question as a scientific one. It's the inability to accept alternative plausible theories that trouble me about conspiracy theorists; pretty much anything on official record is dismissed as a lie with no real consideration for the question as a whole. I've said it before but the ability to not only listen but hear an alternative argument is a much underrated skill.

I used to get involved in these pretty often.

But idiots like Ryan won't be reasoned with. They're utter moonhowlers that don't deserve credence - you can present these people with published literature that explains in crystal clear detail the science behind the building collapses but they've already solidified their own interpretation of events in their head because it fits a narrative they so badly WANT to be true, that they'll provide links to non-peer-reviewed conspiracy websites that "support" their version of events. It's a pointless endeavour. It's the same with climate skeptics - come back to me when you have any qualification or experience whatsoever in climate science or data analysis.

Out of interest, what would you say caused the explosions that are so often suggested to be controlled demolition? I saw something along the lines of molten steel (I think) reacts with water (from the sprinklers) and this will pretty much produce an explosion like the ones that were heard.. Sounded pretty reasonable to me and the most plausible of the explanations I’ve heard for them. Certainly more plausible than having hundreds of people planting explosives without anyone ever seeing them do it or anyone of them blabbing about it!

If i was a betting man i would bet you will walk out tonight saying "that was alright, but it was just chicken eh?!"

It's not bad but it's nothing special, whoever started the whole 'cheeky nandos' thing either needs shot or a medal depending on what side you're on.

The chicken at Nando’s is alright but then you can’t really make an arse of that. The sides are atrocious though from the frozen McCain chips to the microwaved mash.

I'll take the medal please. According to Google analytics, it wasn't a term until 2014, I used it in a Facebook post in 2011 saying I'd just bumped into Scott brown enjoying a cheeky nandos. :greengrin

Well done.

You've got cheeky nandos, I've got Greggs rumours. :thumbsup:

I think the thing about Nandos is its just a step up from a McDonalds or KFC etc in terms of 'fast food' its not mega expensive and its not a place where you would think twice about what to wear.

I admit to not trying Nandos till about a year or so ago and loved it (the chicken anyway) from the pitta with the haloumi to the wraps and burgers. (not a fan of the bolo bun thing I think its called, too hard.) Its casual eating and gives the impression its a bit healthier than a McDonalds (Im not saying it is, and im sure i read there was more fat or sugar in a nandos than a KFC).

Totally agree about the sides, the chips literally are McCains oven chips, and even a wee bit peri peri salt doesnt hide the fact they are. The Macho peas are really nice however as is the corn and super grain. The rest as you say microed *****. All I know is if were out on a Sat afternoon (me the mrs and my son) id rather spend 30 quid at Nandos for a munch than 15-20 for a McDonalds.

On the topic of the thread, ive never tried Wagammas, but I do like making noodle based dishes at home so will hope to try it one day.

I'd get on to that soon.

Sure i read this morning the chain that own Franky and Benny's are about to buy it.

Wagamama’s is worth a go. Probably the best reasonably priced chain around IMO.

Small world, as I'm related to her husband Jon...

Who are you?!?! :greengrin

My late mum was from Dingwall (née Innes)

Wagamama’s is worth a go. Probably the best reasonably priced chain around IMO.We often go to Buffalo Grill with the kids (I see there's one in Edinburgh). The menu isn't the same across here but in terms of value for money it's difficult to beat. For the 4 of us it probably costs twice what we'd pay for a McDonalds, but it's well worth the difference.

I've never been to a cricket match. Just got tickets for the first day of the Ashes test at Headingley next August.

You must have plenty of cash 😁. Yorkshire contacted me and wanted a big fee for tickets. I declined.

£80 a head (gulp) plus petrol plus a couple of nights in a premier inn plus beer money. All told, not cheap. It better not rain!

It will be a good day providing the weather is decent. I'm about 15 miles from Leeds but it's a good night out. Plenty decent drinking places near the ground too.

You will enjoy it and if it does rain you will get money back.

£80 for an all day event (weather depending!) Isn't too bad.

Decent sightlines at Headingley, a range of food options in the ground and of course the chance to drink beer in the sun. Plus you’re not far from a short train ride into the city centre, though I’ve tended more towards Uber when there.

I guess £/hour you're right, it's not too bad.

I'm going with my big Yorkshire pal for local knowledge and blending in value. :greengrin Should be an experience.

Not been since the late 90s, but the Western Terrace used to get a bit raucous by the late afternoon!

[pollution]

A cigarette.

A cigarette.

It's so cool, you should get involved
