Places I wouldn't be seen dead at....

I wouldn't know where to start.

Ibrox, probably, would be a definite no-no.

Any gay bar (knowingly) (nothing to do with homophobia).

Any cricket game.

A bullfight or fox hunt.

A boxing match. (I once went to a Massambula wrestling match in Aberdeen as a teenager but the guy was a showman and an artist but I wouldn't go now to a wrestling match as I'd see right through it.)

Must be loads more.

Been there. Neil Lennon's last game played for Celtic. 2-0.

Both: Bullfighting was a magazine commission in my defence, below

A night of bullfighting: He explodes into the ring, 500 kgs of looming jeopardy

Bullfighting is a peculiar activity to stumble across in an EU member state in the year 2022 and there are few activities that divide public opinion quite as passionately

Been there, but in my defence, amateur only.

A pub - I don't drink, and even if I did I wouldn't pay pub prices, the landlord is odds-on to be a Tory so I've zero desire to enrich him and, to put the tin lid in it, pubs contain, shudder, people!
 
Re Wetherspoons, Mrs O shares the same view as Moehat so I have to go there alone.

It would be nice to be able to be as principled as that but in some pubs you'll pay £7 for a pint of Guinness whereas when I met the brother for a day of snooker on Wednesday we popped into the nearby 'Spoons for lunch and I got a pint of Guinness and an 8" pizza for £7, and the one in East Kilbride does the full cooked breakfast (including tea with unlimited refills) for about £3.50.

I'm not going to walk past that. I'd take a Ryanair flight if I knew for certain that it was going to cost me the advertised price.

I've been to a bullfight, which is why I wouldn't go to another. Likewise I've stumbled upon a gay bar, ditto.

Understood;)

(we once found ourselves in a gay bar when on a rugby tour in Italy. When, the following day, we mentioned the fact to locals they were shocked & were adamant that there was no such thing down in those macho parts)
