I'm doing a big of a bucket-list run-through and trying things I've never done before.
The last two have been real let-downs - I tried black pudding - never liked the thought of it - and it was gross - like a great big greasy scab.
The other is something that my brother-in-law has been promoting for years - a McFish Fillet burger. It's the only thing he eats from McD.
Had one yesterday - it's just a big fish finger with practically no flavour. Watery and bland. It rates as a great big 'meh'.
What have you done recently that was not as described?
Sorry to all you Londoners - but it was the London Eye. Not sure what I expected for my £20 - it was a few years ago - but I prefer the Hop-on-Hop Off bus for my views.
Edited: Though thinking about how things are now, what I wouldn't give to be able to do that again.
I did however go to the Millennium Dome, I won a prize to go. Loved it, especially the relaxing room, whatever it was called. Did you go to that?
Gosh you've got a good memory.
I remember that. In the relaxation zone, they had a tune the called "Long Player". Longplayer is a self-extending composition by British composer and musician Jem Finer which is designed to continue for one thousand years.

I can't even remember what I liked about it, as it was over 20 years ago now, but it seemed magical to me.
I have a very kind friend - he's very ASD - he has a helicopter licence and has to complete enough hours per year - so he just rings me up when he's going flying and I'm very grateful 'self-loading cargo'.
We've been all over the place - went to the Isle of Wight for a burger once.
Yes I went there. We went when it was half-price. Yeah I did like it, it was good for me too because it was so quiet there... not so good for their financial situation though.
Great photo. My OH and son did the walk over the Dome - they said it was amazing. I have a heights issue, so not for me, but I like to imagine what it would have been like.
I've been to gigs in the O2 and flown over it a couple of times...
Now known as the O2.
