Let's go off topic while we wait for transfers to moan about.

Post by LoughtonO »

While listening to Chris Evans radio show last week, he said that he had never had a McDonalds or ever used a Q Tip/cotton bud in his life.
What everyday things that most of us take for granted have you never done. I'm not talking climbing Everest or swimming the channel here.
For me I have never ever seen Star Wars T.V show or films.

Are you adding "I have never seen my reflection in a mirror" or "I have never entered someone's house without receiving their express permission" to the list?

Isn’t it dependant on the weather as the sea reflects the colour of the sky?

You remind me of my best friend . He's been to various countries around the world just to ride on their train networks . On one trip he went to Japan to ride on their bullet train . He's been all over this country and must have been on every line we've got . For our Scottish boarders , he said he particularly enjoyed the Highland railways . He said the scenery of countryside was amazing . By the way , yes he's single . I could never get the time to do all that even if I wanted to .. As for myself I've never been to America but I hope to go one day .
