The fact that I cannot speak a second language!
Agreed. Anyone can understand English, you just have talk slower and raise your voice a little bit.
For me most have already been covered but I will add.
The Twilight, Harry Potter and Dan Brown books.
Cricket
REALLY Heavy Metal
&
Strip or Gentlemen's Clubs. Never been to one but can't see the point of going to a dingy ex-pub to watch a bunch of bored women take off their clothes and grind against your body in a totally dis-interested way. Not forgetting that they are all only doing this to pay off their student loan and here's their mobile number if you'd like to meet up later. (Don't worry if a man answers. It will just be my flatmate. Leave him a message about where and when you'd like to meet and I'll be there.
)Sorry but its called the internet and there are lots of lovely videos of attractive women on there who will get you to the same point for free and not charge you £10 for a bottle of Becks for the pleasure.

Considering you've never been to a strip club you appear to know a lot about them!!For me most have already been covered but I will add.

I've been to a few and certainly none have been in a 'dingy ex pub' and the girls certainly didn't look bored.

You are right Johnny, but I know what the OP is driving at and with me it's......
Phones. Iphones, apps, Gooseberries (or whatever they are) Don't want, don't need.
Nokia C2 Christmas present with £10 credit still has £8 left. Supposed to have some free texts but haven't used any yet!
OK grandad, technology won't kill you Phones. Iphones, apps, Gooseberries (or whatever they are) Don't want, don't need.

Right enough Danny, funny thing is that when the original car phones came out in 80's I was one of the first to get one and used it all the time! Even the 'right'ariel and a Jag logo'd handset was a must.
Now if they want to speak to me it is switched on, otherwise not really bothered.

Personally I think ignorance of any kind is nothing to be proud of.
Nothing wrong with being disinterested in a subject to the point of having no desire to learn about it - I can understand that. And nothing wrong with knowing enough about a subject that you can say you have no interest in learning more. But I simply can't understand why anyone would proudly proclaim an ignorance of something.

im scared to say it as it seems to irritate some people(already proved in this thread!) but, facebook. i literally have never signed up, i actively refuse to look at other peoples when they try and show me something. i plan to keep living my full and active life without it or any true understanding of it. being poked, putting "like" or throwing a sheep is something that i feel i have no need to ever use. im not saying that 100000000s of people dont find it usefull or enjoyable but i genuinly have seen, even in my small-ish social circle, gargantuan rows over it.
im not 100% honest to 100% of the people ive ever met, all of the time. maybe its just my sneaky side that despises it!

Football - I know nothing and don't want to know anything about it either. Just doesn't raise any interest in me at all. Even had a football mad mate sit with me through some kind of important game, explaining what was going on, didn't do anything for me. I tried to understand it as it is so popular throughout the world. I guess the football part of my male brain never developed fully .However I do take a great interest in when important games are scheduled, as the roads are normally quiet at that point for a good hoon on the motorbike
