So what do you do in the evening, then?

In the comments to my post the other day, I mentioned that I don't own a TV. This is unusual - figures from the TV licensing people suggest that 99.5% of households in the country have a telly in them and such is the ubiquity of the gogglebox that the Joseph Rountree Foundation uses non-ownership of one as an indicator of poverty (this surprises me, as the people I know who don't own a TV tend to be both better educated and in better jobs than the average).
The are distinct advantages to not owning a TV. I don't run the risk of wasting my time watching witless crap like Eastenders, X-Factor, Big Brother or the new Doctor Who, and anything decent like Life on Mars I can pick up DVDs of at Cash Converters six months after they come out.
What was interesting about my comment was that it pulled out a number of other people on my friends list who don't own TV's. According to the above statistic, only one person in every 200 should be telly-less, and so I should only have one person reading me who doesn't as opposed to several which seems to be the case.

So, to satisfy my curiosity:

Book: 5th level Assassin/cleric, played by the player who thinks that refusing to talk about his character's mysterious, 30 pages of closely-typed background makes him interesting.

Something happened 50 years ago that ruined his perception of women and made him a misanthrope. Don't you want to know what that was?! Don't you?!

If you do want to know what it was, you'll have to interact with him daily for six months before he'll tell you.
I decided that learning the sekrit wasn't worth having him on my friends list for.

More importantly though, would he buy me gin?

I buy you gin, and I've never once tred to tell you about my kewl Hobbit Sorceror.

Point taken. That's a much fairer deal. And more than I get playing LOTRO.

So...idle question, leading nowhere, no subtext, apropos of nothing...how much gin before you're drunk enough to put out?

Re: Ooops - got one wrong:

My tolerance is greatly improving. So, probably about 4 doubles. Oddly though, 3/4 a bottle of decent wine is much more effective.

Re: Ooops - got one wrong:

Righto, red or white?

Re: Ooops - got one wrong:

White. Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. No New World pls.
