    Actually, having worked in a coffee shop at a train station I can confirm that it seems to be mainly women over here who drink Earl Grey. I've actually suffered a little ridicule from people before for drinking Earl Grey and other teas that weren't very "manly". Not that I care, I like what I like and don't give a damn what anyone thinks about it!

    Actually, I think Jean-Luc wasn't particularly 'manly'. He was in touch with his feminine side. But this isn't the place to deconstruct a Star trek character :D

    I can't stand football either. Don't see why people go so damn crazy about it, to the point of being anti-social and starting riots.

    There's a difference between football fans and hooligans.

    To be fair, people that do that are just thugs. They'd have a fight if you bumped into them and spilt their beer. For me, it's the 90 minutes of watching 22 people kick a ball around a large field. It just doesn't do anything for me. I did watch some of the female football during the olympics, though - mainly the highlights when I knew there would be some team celebrations :D

    I'm sorry, but I just don't see it.

    I guess we'll agree to disagree! :snowkiss:

    I agree about the sex. The first bunch of times it really didn't feel nice. I knew it'd get better though so I just made myself grin and bear it.

    Also, beer. I used to HATE beer but now I occasionally crave a Budweiser. I haven't tried any darker beers or lagers yet though.
