Default I am not one of the sheep

What have you not done, not purchased, not visited etc. even though most people have?

I'll start.

I've never been in an Ikea store nor do I have any of their products.

Default Re: I am not one of the sheep

Talking about not being one of the sheep, a barrister I worked with got a sheep farm, and he said to me in Sydney one day- when we were standing with the crowd milling around, he said to me "Gavin the more I have worked on my sheep farm the more I have realised that humans are precisely like sheep."

Anyway, I was in Melbourne and my best mate was driving to Avalon airshow in thick traffic with his son and myself in his prized Toyota 4wd tractor, and I told him about this and he found it very interesting and amusing- because he HATES following the crowd and the norm-in some ways philosophically anti societal norms.

Anyway, the traffic suddenly brakes to our front and I blurt out "bhaa bhaa bhaa" and my mate was trapped-he had to be a sheep to save his beloved 4wd.

All the way through the Avalon airshow people looked oddly at these weird guys bhaaing to one another when trapped into having to follow the crowd.

Same here - and only when the odds are in your favour.
Went to Vegas years ago - never gambled a cent, there was so much more to do and see than to waste time and effort on that.

I've never been drunk. Don't get me wrong I like a beer/whatever as much as the next guy.

I've just seen to many people do dumb things in the name of having fun. Not to mention drunk people are unbelievably boring to be around.
