I Have Never....but I Have

[Bobbisox1]

I've never watched Game of Thrones
I've never read a Harry Potter book or a film
I've never flown in a helicopter
But I have....
Zip wired from 800ft
Walked on burning coals
Abseiled
parascended

Just a bit of fun here

[aelmpvw]

my 'never' and 'have' are the same as yours only the other way round

[Bobbisox1]

Haha,now that's funny :0)

[Baldric]

Zip Wires are fun.
Done quite a lot of Abseiling,
and Parachute Jumps, all good fun ;o)

[Bobbisox1]

Never parachuted Balders, that would scare me

[TonyV]

Hot air balloon rides can be good as well with the right pilot.

[calmck]

Mine also the other way round but I have also flown on Concord and adopted my daughter at 3 hours of age and have been blessed ever since, especially with the 2 grandchildren

[Bobbisox1]

That I would like to do Tony, on my bucket list with visiting Russia

[Bobbisox1]

Wow calmck, I defy anyone to beat that, that's wonderful

[TonyV]

Ok Bobbie not as expensive as visiting Russia, was a lovely evening out with champagne at the end after we had packed balloon away.

[Bobbisox1]

I just want to stand in the middle of Red Square and travel on the Siberian railway .....I doubt the latter will ever happen tho

[TonyV]

This is company I used. Some tree top skimming was involved, he was a very skilled pilot.

Thanks Tony ( saved)

[Baldric]

Bobbi @ 1836,
scared me witless first time I did it, after that it got easier.

[Bobbisox1]

@Baldric, in an odd phycological way, I'm scared of heights ie,going up a mountain in a car yet abseiling and zip wiring for charity ,doesn't faze me, I think the abseiling would probably be only a couple of thousand feet or more but parachute jumping is about 10,000 ft isn't it?

[TonyV]

Bobbi if you do choose a balloon flight, take a cap with you to protect your head from burners heat, but it's a lovely way to see the countryside.

[Bobbisox1]

Good tip, thank you

[nailit]

Ive never watched Jaws/Star Wars/Grease
Ive never read 50 Shades of Gray (Tried to, managed less than a 1/4 of it....utter tripe). Never read A Brief History of Time either, despite once owning a copy of it.
Ive never tried cocaine or speed.

I HAVE tried heroin/weed/glue and petrol sniffing
I have piloted an aircraft (not at the same time as trying heroin/weed/glue or petrol sniffing...)
I have met and spoken to both Prince Charles and Camilla.
I have absconded from prison.
I have met...and spoken too...Paul Martin (Flog It), Shaun Hutson (horror writer) Claire Sweeny (actress) and Jeremy Beadle (Err?)

[nailit]

Would *LOVE * to do a ZIP wire and parachute jump!!
On the bucket list.

[Bobbisox1]

Nailit, I always admire your honesty

HALO is an acronym for “high altitude, low opening.” That means that military special forces teams will jump out at a high altitude (generally 30 to 40 thousand feet), and they'll freefall to a much lower altitude (as low as about 800 feet above the ground) before they deploy their parachutes.
