    never driven a car, never fallen in love with someone wihtin 10,000 miles away from me, never successfully done ALL the ironing (usually do most of it, and fold the rest advantageously), never successfully given anyone a tour of ireland, never successfully done a tour of new zealand.

    I'm curious about this as I work in driving licences.

    Well I suppose it would be easier to begin at the beginning. I first sat behind the wheel of a car when I was 16 and my dad gave me some lessons. Few months later and I was in college and rarely home so was never around to properly learn. I then graduated and spent most of my 20's travelling around with work so was never settled long enough to really learn to drive. But there was a few quiet months when I was around 25. I got the mad idea that I would learn to drive so I applied to driving school in mid-Sept, done the theory and lessons and at the end of Nov. I sat my test. The instructor was in a serious rush (it was lunchtime and he was hungry) so I only had to drive through town and onto the motorway and back, no reversing or parking. So he gave me my licenese and that was the last time I've sat behind the wheel of a car. Fast forward 5 years later and I have a license but would not be fit to take a car on the road!!

    I was once in a situation where i was sitting in a mates car on the beach while the tide rapidly crept up on it but i could'nt do a thing to prevent the impending disaster as I...I ....I cant drive. I wouldnt even know how to start the ignition. :(

    I got some passing lady to kindly reverse it up the beach :)

    I've never ironed any item of clothing other than a sock in under 20 minutes.

    I've never put wax in my hair

    I've never cut my own hair (other than facial)

    I can't drive with the radio/music on in the car.
    I can't change a tyre on my car.

    Bet on a right horse? :p

    I've never gone to the Psychic that's been hanging around Ulster Bank everyday in Galway since I was a nipper. Not that I'd really bother anyways.
    Never asked a girl on a date, my face would incinerate in red and I'd melt in embarrasement.

    You sleep in borrowed pyjamas?:eek:

    Like me, we are part of the naked sleepers team. Once you lose pyjamas you never go back. Also, pyjamas is a cool word.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,006 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    It's not too often you see the naked sleepers team walking in their typical nightwear along the street, though you will see them on nudist beaches.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,119 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    don't see them because it is night. Otherwise they are undercover in clothes mode.

    Look at all the trouble that's involved in owning pyjama.
    • you have to go shopping to buy a pair
    • you need to wash them every so often
      • this means you probably require a second pair
        • which means more shopping
    • then you have to try and locate them every evening when going to bed
    • then there is the time involved in putting them on
    • also in the morning when you are sleepy/hungover there is always the possibility you will trip and injure yourself when trying to take them off using the shuffle and leg kick technique
    Sleep naked ftw and avoid all this!

    You know when people are leafing through a book, looking for a specific page, they lick their finger to make it more adhesive and thus make the job easier?

    I have never done that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    I've never gone on a blind date.

    I've never shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

    I still don't know what a tracker mortgage is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77

    Same here, don't know anything about mortgages. I don't obsess over property.

    This is true, i nearly lost an eye when i was 14. I used to be the, 'sit on the bed one leg out, then another', but that didnt cut the mustard one christmas morning when i was woken up and had to get downstairs to open my stuff. I tried the shuffle and leg kick - it didnt work.

    mortgages? I thought we were talking about tracker bars?

    Never used hair gel.

    Can't whistle loud: you know, where you stick your fingers in your mouth to get that piercing sound? Nope, can't do that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Pigheads probably the only male boards ember who hasn't flirted with Pythia. Probably why she detests me.

    Never seen the movies Titanic or ET

    Never seen the movies Titanic or ET
    Are they every day things?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I have never

    a) given myself a nickname
    b) referred to myself in the third person by the nickname I made up
    c) thought I was a gas character for doing so

    Ah welcome back, Peter! You've been greatly missed. So, what did you learn during your ban?

    Cheeky fcukers learned nothing as far as Pighead can see. The lad comes across like a sulky teenager with very bad acne. Another smack of the banhammer wouldn't do him any harm if you ask me.

    Anyway Dudess, what everyday things do you not do everyday. Be as rude as you like babes. Its after 9.

    A) No, other people bestow nicknames upon you.
    B) No, quite strange but what ever turns you on I suppose
    C) No, tbh it's not even remotely amusing

    Never gotten in to a personal vendetta/grudge match with other board users, but its early days yet...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I don't go to the credit union - that's pretty everyday in Ireland anyway.

    Oh be rude you say? Easy - I don't... nah, I can't say that - even if it is after 9.

    Beautiful answer Dudess. Suggestive and naughty without being in your face. You could teach that coolsmileytramp a thing or two.

    Funny you should include those very words in your reply. You could say you've partially answered your own question.
