I had a few golf lessons Ros, so I could join hubby on the course, but hated it, lack of coordination I think Jac, scuba is brill, but deep sea doesn't appeal to me either. A friends daughter does 'free diving' without the cylinders - scary Hazel, I know just how your hubby felt ;-))

Same as Ann - a friend gave me a ride on the back of his (very powerful) bike once and I hated it, couldn't breathe properly and felt SO vulnerable!

rode on the back of a scooter once in the 50s (My mother would not have been impressed as i wasn't 'allowed'), I was petrified and no way would you get me on the back of a scooter/motor bike again. Ann Glos

Well I am sitting here smiling at some of the replies and you sound just like me Jenny Linda, water skiing appeals, but not sure now I have read that, now a water flume sounds like fun Mau, but maybe not a banana boat, from what Fee says Muffy, I'm not much good in high heels either, and they play havoc with my varicose veins ;-)) Elaine I have never tried skiing and I don't think I am likely to now, it has never attracted me BC - Oysters?? nope, although I have heard they are good for you, Chrissie perhaps we should try them ;-)) Ron, I just knew some wise guy would come up with that, and as for singing, don't give up the day job Dawn, there are other things I have only tried once, probably why I have just one son ;-))

Skiing - feet & ankles hurt, you fall over in front of everyone, its cold and it takes ages to get to the top of the mountain and then down again. And the ski wear makes you look like a big marshmellow. E x

I went on a banana boat once.It was the most horrendous experience. Never again.

I was begining to wonder if there was anything I don't like, that I could add, I love horse riding, high heels, marriage, always fancied having a go at water skiing and found water flumes really exhilerating, even when daughter told me you had to go on the covered in tube one first because it was the gentle one!!!! - she lied LOL:) However, when I got to Oysters, I knew what to put - I HATE oysters:) OOPS - must dash, just remembered I'm supposed to be out shopping by now:) Chrissie

Went on one of those water flume rides!! I can say never ever again! Thought I was never going to come out at the other end.,I was actually saying my prayers as I flew round and around, was terrified lol My OH and Sil said it was a picture when I finally did 'land'? My legs were skyward and head down, three Spanish pool- guards came running to the rescue (they were hunky lol ) The children loved it,not Nana!! Mau xx
