You're going to do it a lot now. Hadn't broken mine in years. Then smashed it 4 times in 2 weeks..... Enjoy!

I broke the screen on my Nokia 2110. After that, I didn't break one for 18 years until my iPhone 5S. Haven't broken one since.


(fingers crossed).

Just washed my Sony Walkman MP3 player. One hour daily wash cycle and an extra 10 minutes spin and tumble.
That's £45 up my shirt ( or was in my shirt / padded waistcoat actually )

Casing unscrewed and the whole lot now stuck in a lidded tumbler full of rice and in the conservatory to get the benefit of gentle sun warming.

Must remember to check my pockets before doing laundry Doh !

My son returned from his uni trip to Japan with his new passport and between him and the missus washed it, I paid £80 for it and now get to pay for another one.

in my youth i did actuall break a Nokia 3310 (shocker!!). i broke the screen. my fault for buying and putting on a knock off/non OEM phone fascia. i was the envy of everyone at the time too as my friend had taken my phone to phillipines to change the LCD screen. where everyone had the normal green screen I had a very bright electric blue one.

Made me think... things I've never done (that most people seem to do a lot).

Include:

Broken a screen on my mobile (I've had 8 IIRC)

Been into, or eaten a McDonalds or any other burger from any fast food shop

Ever watched Ant or Dec on TV, apart from when they were on the news.

Taken a selfie

Given my mobile number to anyone (apart from my Mrs).

Ran out of fuel in a car.

Been stopped by the police.

Probably more...

You?

This week I had my first Lebanese meal! Now I'm annoyed that I've never tried it before!

On Monday I had my first ever general anesthetic and surgery.

Broke my leg a couple of weeks ago in the Alps and had to have a plate inserted in my ankle. All of these are a first for me. Not sure I want to ever repet any of them!

What about

Had a crap house
Had a crap car
Taken a crap photo
Written a crap song

Surely you have more uniqueness Steve? :-)


Ps I suspect they are all true given your background
