Never Have I Ever
…done these three things:
- watched Dr. Who on TV,
- read a Jilly Cooper novel (although I might give in at some point because I despair at the level of modern writing and its authors),
- ridden a horse.
I always thought that Dr. Who was an infantile take on sci-fi — just hearing people talk about the show irritated me — so I never bothered. I kinda feel the same about Star Trek, although I have watched a few episodes of that series, always kicking myself for wasting time immediately after the closing credits.
I don’t know why I never read Jilly Cooper’s books, unless it was because of my misogynistic attitude to female writers. No, I can’t be bothered to explain that, either. Reading the blurb on the back of any of her novels, I always wondered why I would ever be interested in her silly, two-dimensional characters and fluffy inconsequential plot lines, and I’d return the book to the shelf, un-tempted into its purchase. The only thing I can find to recommend Dame Jilly, other than the obvious:
…is that she always had a very casual attitude towards sex, both in her writing and in her observations about the people around her. Not judgemental, she. Besides: it was the 1970s and -80s, FFS [sic].
Horses are filthy, fragile animals, prone to all sorts of illnesses, and even the “quiet” ones are always trying to kill you. Besides, as black powder and muzzle loaders have been superseded by metallic cartridges and bolt-actions, our transportation needs have evolved and we don’t need them.
