It was only the other day when I attended a Burlesque class in the centre of Manchester, I realised that any hobby which doesn't conform to societal standards is suddenly wildly appealing to me.

You know you're an adult when the highlight of your week is going to the dentist. But you know you're truly an adult when you book your dentist appointment slap bang in the middle of the working day because you'd rather have your teeth pulled at than attend another pointless meeting.
