What are 3 things you either CANNOT do, or SIMPLY WON'T do? What would come as a surprise to others about you?

I cannot: drive! (I've had lessons, and managed to be worse at the end of the lessons, than I was at the beginning).

I will not:

1. Change plugs.
2. Change lightbulbs.
3. Deal with spreadsheets.

It goes back to when i was a kid, I hated Sundays because my sister and I had to wash up after the Roast and we always had lamb. I had to scrub the roasting tin and I hated the smell. To this day I can't stand it.

I can't-
1. Pronounce my "r"s quite properly (although its barely noticeable - I hope......)
2. Open my eyes underwater
3. Wait. I am the world's most impatient person.

I won't-
1. Eat crab or lobster (even though I like them both very much)
2. Allow anyone to smoke in my house, car or garden
3. Do bungee jumping or any other moronic adrenalin "sport", including extreme theme park rides.

To be honest, I can think of an awful lot more than three for both categories.....

You've said this before, is that because you don't like how they're killed?

Its not quite as bad as that, but occasionally my "r"s get away from me, yes!

Yes, and I know that any animal I eat has to be killed and I am actually completely fine with that reality - but for some reason I can't deal throwing a live crab or lobster into a pot of boiling water and serving it up to me for dinner. Perhaps I just need a clear demarcation between slaughter and cooking. Whatever it is, it gives me the heebie jeebies.

Wudster this reminds me of Moyles and Blackburn discussing the point of tapping WWW for the internets - they found out it was Jonathan Woss's appraisal of Radio 1 - "Wonderful Wadio One"

1) - I love smell of petrol oh yes I do, I just do ok, dunno why, see my shrink.

2) - I'm hard of hearing

3) - Beg yer pardon ?

1. I can't believe they've got Mills filling in for Moyles.
2. I won't listen to Mills
3. I can't wait until Moyles is back

Charlalottie -- re: the tetanus thing, had a serious problem w/it myself. It made the whole left side of my body numb the day after the jab! Had to be taken to hospital as they thought it was a heart attack or stroke. Apparently that is a common side affect. Go figure. Never again.

My mum has this problem too, probably to the same extent as you do, judging by your response to Ballbag. It's barely noticeable on her, but every now and again I like to remind her!

Yudster wrote:2. Open my eyes underwater

I actually have a real problem with this too, but I'm slowly starting to learn to deal with it, as I'm having adult swimming lessons at the moment (no I can't swim.) I can do it but my eyes get extremely sore. I enquired to the instructor about goggles and they said they don't recommend it while having lessons because if you learn with goggles and then fall in a river, you're unlikely to have goggles and so your brain may think you can't swim without them. So it's chlorine-soaked eyeballs for me until I can swim!

Yudster wrote:3. Wait. I am the world's most impatient person.

You definitely remind me of my friend Charlotte. I have to text if I am likely to be a minute late.

Yudster wrote:2. Allow anyone to smoke in my house, car or garden

I won't do that either, the smell is foul and the butts look disgusting.

Yudster wrote:3. Do bungee jumping or any other moronic adrenalin "sport", including extreme theme park rides.

I won't do bungee jumping, because I don't like that free falling feeling. I like roller coasters and most theme park rides though.


timp wrote:1. I can't draw.

I am the same timp. My balance is awful, it hinders my table tennis very much, as it would any sport.

I may come up with my own later.

1. i won't give up fizzy drinks.
2. i won't take it up the bum.
3. i won't kill another person.

Well they told me it is unlikely but who knows

I had chemotherapy and it They said there will most likely be problems That is why I like the Chris Moyles show so much, When it all go to much for me i would listen to old clips and the show, It really kept me sane, for three hours a day i could laugh and listen to some good music, and then compelety change my mind on the song when chirs and the team ripped it to bits,

Sometimes i dont know how i would have coped without his show making me laugh...

Anyway i am alright now, and this is all becoming heavy for this post

I've not restricted myself to three, but on the "won't" list, I couldn't think of three.

I can't:
  • Relax my body. I need to try and work out how to do this, it hinders my sport above anything, but I'd love to be able to just relax my muscles, it would seem that I can't. This annoys me greatly. Everyone else seems to be able to go "floppy" (no jokes) on demand, but I can't.
  • Look at a photo of a wasp without feeling a bit uneasy.
  • Balance properly. This is also a hindrance to my sport.
  • Swim. Though I'm currently putting that right.
  • Dance. I know I have to move my arms and legs, I just don't know where to; I am conscious of this, no matter how trolleyed I am.

I won't:
  • Date smokers. Not that I've been in a position to date new people for quite a while anyway.
  • Piss in a urinal and preferably not in a public toilet at all.
