I suppose it depends on the mood you are in when taking the quizz?
I stand corrected. Still, that would imply pretty extreme mood swings...

I believe you've found the correct answer. I'll take the quiz again on a day when I'm undeniably gloomy and couldn't hate pubs more... and then I wonder what I'll come up with?

I think the logical way out of that situation is to go ahead and kill yourself.
It seems to me there is no other escape... you're obviously insane acting like that... at your age, too!

"Scotch must be a proper description because Queen Victoria used it."
That is entirely grand and funny! But I'm afraid Queen Victoria can't change my view on the word. Never ask why I dislike being referred to as Scotch. I didn't used to mind but one gloomy day when the world was full of 'Scotch's' I couldn't take it anymore.

Ah, tea.... well, I'm not fond of tea in itself unless I'm in the correct mood but nothing can take away from the event of tea. It's extraordinary fun to be different people having tea. Generally I will be merely myself and sit by the fire, drinking tea with a few friends and talking about anything we fancy, or maybe telling a little story or two, but it's also enjoyable to pretend we're of the higher class and to take little sips and speak only of the weather and everyone's health. We mock the higher class most terribly and I only ever mock something when I'm quite fond of something... that's how I know I love LotR and that's why I suspect I'm really quite fond of the British.

I stick out my little finger when drinking any kind of beverage. Its a natural reaction to lifting a beverage-holder in Britain. We Brits have a very slight difference in our blood to the rest of the world's population, completely isolated in our little fingers. It generates a force against most kinds of drink, particularly tea (there is currently a major study being undertaken to discover why) which pushes the finger away from the drink.

Interesting eh?

On another note, why is cheekiness associated with Brits? Anyone have any ideas?

Thumbs up You are- An Über-Dork Barrowdowner!

Heh heh, I took the quiz yesterday. Yesterday, I wasn't a Barrowdowner yet. But I think my results are ok, only obviously I've never been in the Quiz Room.

So welcome, Uber-Dork Barrow-Downer . Let your travels bring you to rest amongst the dead of this forum, and achieve some british cheekiness, which is free to take, once you figure out what answers to check . And never-ever go to the quiz room, or you'll become like poor Perky Ent, that is, obsessed!
