Anything you've given a go and didn't want to bother with again?
Here's a few;
Cigarettes. Tried one, once, when I was 14, didn't like it Marmite Cottage Cheese Avocados. All three are revolting imo The Guardian newspaper. Unreadable garbage Golf
Probably more....

I was once taken to a pub by a couple of people I knew years ago during one afternoon, without my knowledge a stripper appeared & did a routine, the lads I was with had a good laugh at my expense as the room was small & the stripper performed amoungst the customers. That was my first & only time seeing a stripper & I found the experience not remotely arousing or erotic.
I went on one of those fairground pirate ship rides that swing like a pendulum, never again.
When I was at school we went to a religious retreat for a week where we sat in groups discussing our feelings & had to write & perform a play. Not something I ever want to or are likely to have to go through again.

As a kid - cycling and fishing.
More recently, the new alcohol free Guinness 0.0. Looks like a Guinness, pours and settles like a Guinness, tastes absolutely nothing like a Guinness.

The fairground ride I don't like are the ones which spin round and round very fast, the Waltzers. I went on one once and came off feeling sick. Yet I like the more extreme ones such as roller coasters

Another great thread!
1) Guardian (but great for using as dust sheets when painting)
2) Daily Mail (but great for getting the bonfire lit) 3) Helping my eldest son with GCSE maths (embarrassing) 4) Replacing the serpentine alternator belt on a Vauxhall Astra (painful) 5) Pre Packed Sandwiches (Service Station/Supermarket etc) 6) Watching ITV2 7) Saying "Yes" to Central TV when asked if I would mind spending 3 months following a group of Para's doing their initial training at Catterick Garrisson. Then finding out we were sleeping in army spec beds in a disused wooden barrack hut - very Auf Pet - all during the Mid winter, and we would be required to follow them at all hours over the North York Moors on various exercises. No scouser rolled up with a dartboard, and we couldn't set fire to the hut afterwards!

It was a similar situation to the time Oz, Wayne & Moxey were in the pub in Newcastle. Oz had his back to the stripper & so did I The stripper in that episode was a lot better looking than the one I remember seeing, in the back room of a pub in Burnley it was

Put it this way, I can no longer listen to "Centrefold" from the J Geils Band without the visual that scarred me for life, played by a mullet toting DJ who looked like Kid Jensen's grandad. 2) Daily Mail (but great for getting the bonfire lit)
Now and again, when we find a discarded wallet in the gutter, we visit Waitrose who have an offer of a free Daily Mail when you spend over a tenner. The Mail is great for lighting the fire but we never read it. I've been tempted to buy a top shelf jazzmag to wrap around it to save embarrassment if anyone sees it in the trolley.
