The only way I can desscribe it is you know when you squeeze your eyes shut really hard or tense some of your head mussels, and you can hear a rumbling sound, it's like that.

- The remote control volumne has to end of a '5' or '0', other than that, I don't care.
- I have to spin the last bit of drink round into a whirlpool.
- If I want a pint of squash or something, I always get upset with myself when I've finished it by the time I go to sit down, so I down a pint while at the sink and make another.
- It should always be 100 grams of pasta + 3 more pieces for luck.
- You have to pull the bottom bit out of a prawn tail.
- I rarely finish a meal in a resturant so get it to take away.

There are a few more that I wrote and deleted on account of not completetly and entirely cockblocking myself for life.... well, any more than I have.
