Hardcore or lightweight?

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

Which category do you think you best fit in to?

You can find out once and for all by taking the Bear Bones ' Hard as nails / soft as ...' test.

21...although I have ordered the whole pot of coffee before as opposed to just the cup...and a pint of Guinness to go with it. Some days are just like that.

21pts

Though the answers to "How long have you continually worn the same clothes for?" Should be
• A month or so - 1
• a week - 2
• Till mummy says I have to change - 3


Though to be really hardcore it should be: until the stitching falls apart :shock:

21, but I was let down by my choice of coffee over tea, and the fact the gravy should never be served with chips. Is this a quiz about how much of an adventurer you are, or how much of a Northerner? ;-)

+1

(though I am Northern, don't drink tea or coffee, don't like gravy and think beer should be -1 point on that question).

I scored well but the reality doesn't ever seem to match my theoretical answers???

I've relented and pint of tea / cup of coffee now both score 1 point ... I'm not changing my mind on the gravy though :wink:

Not all of us in the north have gravy on our chips, mainly the Manchester area I believe. Certainly in Cumbria we are more refined :wink:

Where does the gravy come from? Is it made up from bisto or something?

Edinburgh is in the Sauce Belt so we don't have aberrations like 'gravy' for our chips. :shock:

I think my being northern and penniless probably helped my score quite a lot! :-P

But where do they get it from? Or what do they make it from??

These are important questions!

I assume that it will be a powder or concentrate that they mix up.

You wouldn't have scored so well on questions involving extracting detached cleats from pedals ;)

I scored 15. Lost a point on the Lycra, but have never slept in a bus shelter so didn't pick up a point on that one
