Title: Sellotaping bananas to a stuffed corncrake.
Post by: The Peepmaster on August 01, 2007, 10:40:33 PM
My mind was drifting to things I've never done in life. Obviously I don't intend to do anything highly illegal. The example in my title for this thread is just one thing I have honestly never done. I'm sure there will be many others. I'll give it some thought and see if I can come up with more examples. Anyone else have examples of things they've never done in life?

Sorry, I meant capercaillie, not corncrake.

Sorry, I don't know what a capercaillie is, or a corncrake for that matter... ???

However, here's some things I haven't done (but will  8) ):

Visit the grand canyon
Swim with dolphins
Ride an elephant
See the northern lights
Ride in a hovercraft
Stroke a tiger cub

Aha! I've seen the Northern Lights (or aurora borealis, as some folk call it), from this island.

Some things I haven't done.

Jump from an aeroplane
Bungy jump
Play for Celtic
Handcuff myself to the railings at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I may come up with more later.

You put a gas mask on, surely?

When I used to do the floor singer spot at the Eglinton Arms Hotel, the top of the bill was once a band called Capercaillie. I think they're still going.

In my own way, so am I.

I used to go to a weekly jazz night in Eaglesham when I lived in East Kilbride. Maybe that was at the Eglinton Arms Eaglesham? I think it was called "Upstairs At The Eg".

Nope, not me, honest.

I only found out after I'd been going to the jazz club for a good while that it was known locally as "grab a granny night".

But that's another story.

I've held a tiger and lion cub (Spain 1981) hopefully the law forbids this now, but at the time it was wonderful.
As for parachuting, I'll go along with Kate " only a loony would jump out of a perfectly functional aeroplane"  ;D

I wonder if corncrakes like cornflakes. Or if capercaillies, enjoy capers daily...

Imagine if there was a superhero... we'd all be reading the daily capers of the caped capercaillie...

But what if it was a gay caped capercaillie called Kay. We'd be reading the daily capers in the daily papers of the gay caped capercaillie called Kay.

When was the last time you were able to p**s your pants twice in quick succession? He'd have had them in the tumble dryer by the time he read your post. Give the man a break!
