Only ticked 2 out of those. Coffee is very tasty. I don't understand why people like the taste of tea, except roasted barley tea. That's delicious.

I've never been clubbing (Not really for me) nor had a tattoo.

I've met at least two celebrities. I've seen others in person but didn't meet them as such.

Thats the first thing I think of when I see, or hear, the word "clubbing".

But I havent been to a night club in a long time either.
You don't think of the oldtime British police carrying billyclubs instead of using guns like in those older shows? :lol: I actually have a billyclub but I never used it on anyone or anything except lightly on myself just to see how it felt.

It was a "thing" in America in the mid Seventies. A cause celeb. How aweful men would kill baby seals in the north for ...blubber, or fur, or whatever it was they made money off of...by seperating them from their moms and clubbing them. Apparently...I STILL havent gotten over hearing about it!

It even turned up in a rock song of the era.

I have heard of it but it's not something I heard much about. I didn't know it was ever a major thing here in the US. I thought it was something that happened mostly in some colder countries or fishermen working in colder international waters. It is pretty sad which is probably why I haven't heard much about it. People tend to not want to acknowledge the dark spots in their past & nation's history.

I wasn’t paying attention, I missed the bonus points. I used to very occasionally have a cup of tea (I think it’s been well over a year since I had one, and I never drank it on a regular basis), but have never been able to stand any kind of coffee (including those “Want a little coffee with your cream and flavored sugar syrup?” things).

I like bubble tea. It's not really tea at all, just heavily diluted tea with sugar and artificial flavourings, and tapioca pearls. It's delicious.

It used to really bother me that I never went clubbing. Why care about getting hammered every weekend anyway?

I meant that it was a "thing" that Americans became aware of ...in the media in the Seventies. I dont know if America was guilty of doing it more than other countries or not.

No, it's Soviet Canuckistan where baby harp seals are valuable to a handful of local economies.

I read the bonus points & other posts before I posted but I relooked at the poll when I started typing my post & I forgot about the bonus points. I never drink tea or coffee. I don't even like the smell of coffee but I do drink caffeine. I usually drink about one or two cans of soda a day & I also sometimes take a caffeine pill called Vivarin to help me wake up on days when I didn't get much or any sleep because of something going on.

I don't even have pierced ears. I think about getting it done from time-to-time, but I just can't be bothered. It's the hassle of the aftercare that puts me off the most, but I also hate making appointments.

I picked 4 of those. Though I “halfway” have been clubbing. Maybe 3 1/2?

I’ve never had a tattoo.

Never had a piercing.

Never been drunk in my life.

I went to the London Royal Albert Hall on a school trip once, does that count as a concert? I have never been to one of those big outdoor concerts to see a famous band play before.

Clubbing counts as one of those intense clubs where you have to queue to get in and you just dance and drink all night, and it's useless to socialise there because the music is so loud even for NTs, and they're so crowded you can barely move. Stupid, pointless places but so many people seem to love it. :roll:

I'm too wimpy to get a tattoo or have any piercings. I'm not very good at handling jewellery, as I find it too fiddly. I don't know how people get their tongues pierced. That's got to be the grossest thing I've ever heard of.


I'm envious in a good way. I'm a Kinks Fan who hasn't even been to London. I'd love to go to the Royal Albert Hall.
