    Well I'm 6 out of 36 which I'm guessing isn't that bad but nothing about scales or results. A bit unfair though as I have to zoom at work.. So maybe that's 5 if we discount work. Also went to the Northern Lights because other half wanted to go to Lapland for xmas.. so wasn't me. So call it 4 out of 36. Being man of the house it's up to me to carry the keys, cash and everyone elses bag when they are tired etc. So that's 3.

    I like the word more-ish, like italian food and think everyone should have some form of bucket list.. So if that makes me common then F U Mr Haslam.

    And double F U Mr Haslam for forcing my to waste my time in the middle of busy day to do this stupid quiz

      2. Have you ever travelled to the Northern Lights?

      Um, no. Only those who have gone high up in the atmosphere might have travelled "TO" the Northern Lights.

      But with a bit of interpretation, I can probably answer yes to 15 of them.

        So WTFH is more common than NLUK? who would have thought it?

        Now me!

        Moreish,
        Brownies,
        Collarless shirt,
        Italian food,
        Children's achievements (sorry proud fathers will understand),
        Zoom,
        Type 2 diabetes (what a prat this bloke is),
        Once got very lucky in an arboretum (suck on that prat)
        Lord of the Dance (I was in the choir!)
        Robot lawnmower - the gardener kept trying to shag the maid!

        OK so between the restrained and refined NLUK and the rough as feck WTFH - makes perfect sense.

            So higher or lower than 15?

            Do you make NLUK look sophisticated?

              I had to use Google to find out who Karl Lagerfeld was. I’d never heard of Grayson Perry either. Turns out that my fountain pen is not a 'metallic pen' despite being made of gun metal.

              Oh dear, I only managed 'yes' to 4 questions. Still, I did learn some things, not that I'll even need the knowledge.

                I once was in a country and the Northern Lights were around. So I was taken on a short walk to see them then walked to see them more than once. However I didn't specifically travel to see them.

                I randomly go on walks with people and get taken to arboreta.

                Surely everyone who was dragged into a Church in the last century has sung Lord of the Dance? I remember having to sing it at the Royal Festival Hall as a kid.

                  8. Have you ever visited Puglia in Italy?
                  ...
                  11. Have you ever ordered anything containing Aperol?
                  ...
                  15. Do you regularly eat Italian food?

                  Been drinking Aperol-based drinks for over a decade, when in Italy. It's become "fashionable" in the UK in the last couple of years.

                  Posted about my grief online? Yes, because people on here (and other places) were aware of my dog, and I shared with them when we lost her.


                  If the Fail want to label me as something and make it out to be an insult, then I expect I will match their requirements, because I hope never to measure up to the "right kind of person to read the Mail"

                    Puglia (but only cos her Late (Great) Madge sent me for Xmas 93
                    Aperol since 1993 and will long after the chavs have stopped drinking it.
                    Italian Food since I go 3 times a year, very rarely in this country and never by choice (unless I can get into Bocca da Lupa) as garlic and cream DO not form the basis of any Italian Cucina.
