Yo ay never bin ter the jewel in the Black Country? Yo day know what yo'm missin'
ReplyDeleteNot much, as it happens. How about we meet for a pint next time Hull are at Molineux?
Hmmm. That's tricky. Everyday things...
ReplyDeleteI've never opened a bottle of beer with my teeth, garffitti'ed anything, or knowingly misunderstood something someone said without asking for clarification.
I've never built a house (but I'd like to, or maybe just an en-suite), and I've never worn a hat to a wedding, but I'm going to on the 4th April. (It's a 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party!)
And I've never passed by someone being mean to a little child without wanting to take the child away from them and raise it myself.
That'll do for now. Great post, YP. Got me thinking.
After your last comment on my blog, YP, your next one may have to scrub that one about never having had a day of work for sickness - I'm sending the heavy mob round!
ReplyDeleteThis takes thinking~
ReplyDeleteI have never been diving
I have never sailed - I get seasick
I have never drunk spirits
I have never had a one night stand
I have never stopped loving my children even when I have at times not liked them
I have never learned Mandarin
I have never stopped counting my blessings
Hello Pudding - I found you on some old Grump's page and thought I'd pay you a visit.
ReplyDeleteI too have never mastered the slide rule - but I think I have done one or two from your list of the more 'naughty' ones (dropping litter without picking it up etc.)
I'm making some kind of appeal over at Bodge's Bulletin and, as an English teacher, you might be able to help!?
