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.

Aside from the odd advert for something at one of the theatres I don't think I'd even know the main Festival was on whilst you can't miss the Fringe.

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.

Heading to the cinema at the weekend. First time in about 30 years.

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

Wow, this one shocked me the most. You're missing out big time!

[Frazerbob]

Never eaten any sea food other than fish from a chippy.

[babahibs]

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........

[oneone73]

Never seen any of the Godfather movies. Got the first one recorded from the other day, though.

[J-C]

Half fried tomato with breakfast, nothing against sauce or on pasta/pizza but cut in half and fried boak.

[Bridge hibs]

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’ve never eaten a mushroom. Dunno what originally put me off them, but it’s almost phobic at this point. I don’t want to eat anything that they’re even touching.

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.

Also only recently eaten scampi fries and loved them. Likewise Guinness, I thought I’d hate it but had my first pint of it earlier this year and loved it.

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.

I remember being force fed fish fingers by my uncle in the mid 90s. Since then I've never touched fish other than the odd try when the wife or kids get a chippy, especially a seaside one

Kids and wife will eat tuna at least once a week and I'll make it, but need to hold my nose. Apparently tuna steak is different/nice?

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 .

Another one of mine is I’ve never went for a holiday anywhere other than Scotland.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

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 since

[The_Exile]

I'm another one who's never had a cup of tea or coffee, the smell turns my stomach, and hot drinks in general just feel wrong to me. Same with smoking, never smoked anything, the smell makes me gag. Oh and Cheese, I was very badly sick after a cheese toastie when I was around 5 years old, and haven't been able to eat cheese since.

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.

Used Linkedin is another for me.

It's close to obligatory in my line for work where both self promotion and indulging the self promotion of others is expected but I just can't do it. I get sent stuff from it all the time and I want no part of 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.

It adds pretentiousness and self importance to the mix. Awful stuff.

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