I don't understand the attraction
Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Private members' clubs
I'm not against them per se (they might not be everybody's cup of tea in today's society, but to me there's something appealing about escaping to a quiet, comfortable environment where you can have a drink, read the papers and be served dinner with like-minded old farts), but some of the rules and customs are just bizarre. A friend's father is a member of one near Pall Mall (I think), and they have an ornate set of brass pegs in the entrance lobby that nobody is allowed to touch. They were apparently installed so that full members (and nobody else) could hang their top hats up on arriving, but thanks to some protest or meeting or something, in the 1890s the members decided en masse not to conform. Frankly, I don't understand the hat rack shun.
