Been to a show at The Edinburgh Festival.
I'm going to be totally honest and say I don't even really know what the Festival is. It seems to be totally overshadowed by the Fringe now and has been for the entirety of my lifetime. When I see the description of the 'biggest arts festival in the world' I never know if they mean the Festival, the Fringe or both combined.Quote:

I reckon a huge number of people in Edinburgh will never have attended anything at the festival proper. I certainly haven't.
Aye, I meant both.Quote:

I have a dislike for beans even though I’ve never actually tried eating them .

Never had Wagamama, Nandos, Mcdonalds, KFC etc...........
Never had Facebook, Twiitter etc..........
Not had a tv in the house for nearly 20 years, so never watch tv, or the news..........
I know, i'm weird........
Never seen any of the Godfather movies. Got the first one recorded from the other day, though.
Half fried tomato with breakfast, nothing against sauce or on pasta/pizza but cut in half and fried boak.
Never eaten tripe, just gives me the shivers even looking at the stuff, a staple meal often in my and my Nanas house in days of yore but safe to say I have never tried it and never will 🤮
I have a lot of similar ones with the rest of the board and this is one. I’ve never eaten a mushroom and I know for a fact I never will.Quote:

I’ve also never smoked anything, be that a cigarette, a joint or a vape. And uve never watched Gavin & Stacey and have no desire to.
Another here also include the fringe, the jazz festival, the book festival or the film festival, never had an inclination to go to any of themQuote:

Also, never found a whiskey or red wine that I find enjoyable
Much the same though not having a tv is probably the top one for me so far .. I just couldn’t cope without a tv .Quote:

On the theme of Hogmanay and New Year plans. I've never watched Jouls Holland. Always insist on the BBC Scotland show
Never drunk wine after an experience with church wine as a kid never gone near it sinceQuote:

I was huge into music in my teens and very early 20's, I would go to countless gigs, I had 3 guitars, the whole shebang. IMO, music died in the early noughties and I never went to another gig, sold all my guitars, I listen to zero new music these days as, IMO, it's all **** (Apart from Flook, I love them!). Just completely kicked music out of my life apart from playlists from music I enjoyed back when I was younger.
I've never been on any social media, I read reddit from time to time but I don't have an account. No Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram or Tik Tok. Apparently I had a myspace back in the day but I have no memory of it.
Last but not least, I've never seen a good looking Hearts supporter. Ever. Whenever the camera pans to the fans after they score I always try and spot one but to this day I've never managed it.
That’s a great shout. I find the ‘look how happy I am’ idiom of Facebook really annoying, but linked In is in another level.Quote:

I rarely listen to new music these days too as I think majority of today's music is rubbish. More into older music.Quote:
