I agree with that, Colin.
But I remember, just a few years ago (maybe 5?) I had a meeting in London on 31st October. Making my way back to Victoria Station that evening on an almost empty tube train, a group of youngsters jump on enjoying the occasion and full of mirth. Of course, the girls were dressed as girls tend to do for special events, ie only just enough to cover the essentials.
They were standing around chatting and laughing when the train suddenly lurched and one of the girls stumbled and fell into my lap. She was sober enough to offer profuse apologies, but my response was to say, no problem, I thought my luck was changing. This brought about more giggles from her and companions.
Next stop they are all jumping off, when this girl turned around, dashed across and plonked a big kiss on my cheek then ran off giggling again.
Just one of those fun moments. Mind you, it took me some time to remove the lipstick. Would not do to get home and let Young Aunty see that.
I ignore the Eurovision thing too. I would not go potholing, although I have been in some large caves in France and UK.
Bungy jumping or jumping out of a serviceable aircraft doesn't appeal either.
I enjoy flying though.

No I wouldn't go potholing either, but have been in a few large commercialised caves.
Bungy-jumping is definitely out! I remember when I was having flying lesson, my instructor saying that he couldn't understand why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft. Nor do I.
Eat a banana - I'm allergic (actually, intolerant not allergic). Actually this is an interesting one, I never used to be allergic then I became allergic in my teens, and exactly the same thing happened to my father. Then later in life, he could eat them again - I'm waiting patiently for that day.
