Ahoy there! Today be talk like a Pirate Day!

And that subject line is really misleading - it's actually the title of a comedy show I found on Radio 4 yesterday where they get celebrities to try really ordinary things they've never done before. Last night they had Phil Jupitus, who had a Findus Crispy Pancake, foie gras, Pigs Trotters, colonic irrigation, shaved a man's head and read a book by Jane Austen.

So that got me thinking about ordinary things I've never done that most people have. I've never been to Spain or Stratford-Upon-Avon. I've never had pancakes for breakfast, although now I never will. I've never read Watership Down. There's probably more, but I've been thinking about it all day and that's all I could come up with.

In the spirit of the original programme, I'm going to say that by the end of 2009, I am going to have been to Stratford and read Watership Down. Going to Spain being slightly more difficult to achieve.

Edit: I knew there was something else: I've never seen an episode of House. So when I spot an episode on (which could be the tricky bit as they're on Channel 5 and I never read that column of hte TV guide - I'm still not used to be able to watch Channel 5), I'll watch one.

So, the rest of you reading this, what ordinary things have you never tried?
