I once tried one, on the grounds that you should try everything once,
except incest and folk-dancing, and came to the conclusion it was an
activity that should be done at most once per lifetime.

That bad eh? Like watching the Eurovision song contest - once in a lifetime

Watching the complete Eurodrivel Song contest is a pleasure by comparison!

I am quite seriously deaf (55-60 dB), so probably don't suffer as badly as
most people from that :-)

As with Arbutus unedo, the latin scholars amongst us will no doubt enjoy the
