I've never...

[Redsgirl]

I've never consciously drunk alcohol.

I always add consciously because I once mistakenly picked up someone else's drink (a Bacardi and coke that happened to be next to my coke) and I've had a drink spiked once at Uni by someone who wrongly thought it would be funny.

Spirit of honesty and all that, no pun intended.

I like the lack of reaction to this latest revelation.
The Blonde community has been stunned into silence.  

Between you and me, I think they've grown weary of hearing how boring I am.

No, no, I think it goes deeper than that.
I think you've crossed the line.
I mean, this forum is no stranger to controversy, statements on politics, religion, racism, sexual preferences, sporting rivalries, bring it on!

But Tal has never drank alcohol??    Back away slowly............

You see less than Mr Wenger! Was with you on the first two, although I have seen a few episodes of the Voice.

The Simpsons would be my first choice of specialist subject on Mastermind. Obviously, it lost a lot of its lustre a few years ago,but when it was hot, it was as good as it gets.

Prefer South Park myself.

I've never sung lead vocal in a song in front of strangers.

But I'm gonna.

I've been playing lead guitar in bands for getting on for 25 years and I never get nervous. I've always got stuck in with a few harmony backing vocals too.
I'm OK, I can hold a tune, but I don't have the delivery of an even half decent lead vocalist.
My least favourite thing about gigging with a band has always been sound checking my mic, because even just in front of band mates and the sound engineer, singing a cappella scares the shit out of me.

Me and a singer friend of mine have finally got round to putting an acoustic duo together, to run along side the Rock band I'm in.
We're planning to hit a local open mic night in a fortnight to give a run out to half a dozen songs, and at the same time, I'm going to force myself to play and sing one alone.

I've chosen to have a crack at Hallelujah, working from the Jeff Buckley version obviously.
One problem I have though, is I have yet to get through it without crying like a little girl.
Sticking with it though, figuring that an emotional performance might compensate for the lack of actual vocal ability

I love you for this.

There are at least half a dozen songs or poems that I can't get through without crying.

[AdamM]

The four songs I can think of that regularly get me are:
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
Burn by Ray Lamontagne
I Will Not Be Fine by Justin Taylor
Grew On Me by Tim Minchin.

Others can get me if the mood is right, I'm with the right people, in the right places or I've had a couple of drinks, but those get me most of the time.

Bloody wimp

Went to see Simon Friend (from The Levellers) do an acoustic gig in Derby with his acoustic band called Seismic Survey.  Anyway, he does a lot of Levellers song in his set. 

He said he'd gone through some tough times during the year, but I had no idea what he was referring to.  When he was about to do one of the songs, called Elation, he said was his late wife's favourite and he wasn't sure if he'd be able to sing it.  Sure enough, he broke down half-way through and cried through the song.  Was probably the most emotional performance I've ever seen.  Obviously so very sad for him, but yet felt lucky to have been there to witness it.  Felt a bit guilty actually.

Found this recording of that performance on YouTube.  Quality isn't great as it's from a mobile at back of the venue.  Will probably mean nothing to those who don't know the song and don't listen to the Levellers though.

I've never had a nargis kebab.  Although I won't be able to say that in about half an hour
