<t>done all those on the list apart from No's 4,8 and 23.<br/> RL round here can be far more interesting/crazy.<br/> Depends how much of a fool you want to make of yourself.<br/> Doesn't do,however ,to cringe too much about singing that (very)dirty ditty to a roomful of strangers enjoying their chis...
