I stick out my little finger when drinking any kind of beverage. Its a natural reaction to lifting a beverage-holder in Britain. We Brits have a very slight difference in our blood to the rest of the world's population, completely isolated in our little fingers. It generates a force against most kinds of drink, particularly tea (there is currently a major study being undertaken to discover why) which pushes the finger away from the drink.
Interesting eh? On another note, why is cheekiness associated with Brits? Anyone have any ideas?

finger re: ah, I see
 cheerky brits re: I suppose that English is the only language to make up words derived from facial expressions to express qualities of character? "eyeballing' being another word of the kind that pops up to mind...

You are- An Über-Dork Barrowdowner!
Heh heh, I took the quiz yesterday. Yesterday, I wasn't a Barrowdowner yet.
 But I think my results are ok, only obviously I've never been in the Quiz Room.

So welcome, Uber-Dork Barrow-Downer
. Let your travels bring you to rest amongst the dead of this forum, and achieve some british cheekiness, which is free to take, once you figure out what answers to check . And never-ever go to the quiz room, or you'll become like poor Perky Ent, that is, obsessed!

 I'm not that obsessed with the QR, and I'm certainly not very good.

Well, when I talk about obsessions, I know my subject. Been there, done that, many times, four years. Location being just a little bit to the south from Quiz room, that is, in the Quotes
And that's cheeky one talking, there is no check to our cheek! (tra-la-la-lally, here down in quiz-valley...)
