2/ With just the final round to go of this years US Masters you ran into your local bookies, excitedly brandishing your slip, and shouting ‘Rory you little beauty!! Pay up you mugs!’
3/ You enjoy a tasty starter and delicious main course at a local restaurant. As you pay the bill you remember to pass on your compliments to the chef. Then walk out as the dessert trolley is being wheeled in.
4/ You splatter your love-goo at the sight of a bra-strap unclipping.
5/ When watching Se7en in the cinema you stand and applaud as the van slowly approaches Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman in the open mid-west plains.

8/ Although an avid purveyor of porn the term ‘money shot’ is completely lost on you.
9/ Upon seeing Don Mclean in concert you applaud enthusiastically as he departs the stage, wonder why people are still hanging around as you leave, then bemoan the fact that he didn’t play American Pie on the journey home.
10/ You write a letter to Liz Taylor back in March saying you’re a huge fan and delighted to hear that she appears to be on the mend.
