I don't understand the attractionSmaug 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?

Nice story SpankyI used to work with an intellectual type who invited me and the missus to a wine tasting party at his posh flat.
It was in the format of a competition. All the bottles had their labels covered, so we had to try each one and guess the grape, the country, and the year, etc.
Being a studious sort, but knowing feck all about wine, I took the liberty of obtaining a copy of The Bluffer's Guide To Wine that very afternoon. A quick whizz through it while I was having a pre-night out power dump, and I was good to go.
Of course my colleague had dozens of other friends who were just like him - very pretentious, arty types - who were giving it the big "oh I think this may be a Chateauneuf du pape '86" or whatever, whilst sipping tiny amounts before binning the rest.
Out of about 20 entrants, we ended up 3rd, beating most of his smart-arse chums. And we were also completely paralytic. Result all round!
