Feeding ducks.

Feeding swans is brilliant though.
Especially when you end up having a tug of war with one, over the bag of feed you bought to share amongst a lot of varied water fowl at a garden centre.
(I won !.....Just.)

The "Call of Cthulu" campaign I briefly took part in was lots of fun. Different strokes and all that, I suppose.

Any movie by Tarantino.

For me, Tarantino movies are either awesome or awful. Django Unchained, Jackie Brown, Inglourious Basterds and Pulp Fiction being the bulk of the former.

I have yet to say I have enjoyed any of his films. To me they are far too wordy and usually add only a little to the plot before mayhem suddenly breaks out. The start of From Dusk Till Dawn and the table conversation in the cafe in Inglorious Basterds being two prime examples.

The British Museum (heinous I know, but how much carved stone does one want/need to see). Only ever been in the free bit though.

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Do you mean you wouldn't enjoy tickling Ms Knightly with a paintbrush?

[British] GQ Magazine subscription.

Haven't renewed, and they're now pestering me via phone and mail.

I only succumbed to resubscribing last time as they gave me 2 years subscription for £18, along with, free, £20 worth of some't or other (forgotten what, so it obviously was highly of use!) and some vouchers to exchange for a tie that retailed at £20+.

Its got to be good when they cut the price to less than £1 an issue, and then throw in a load of stuff worth more than you've spent.

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"
