How is collecting Rickenbackers any different from collecting train sets? And Top Gear is a HOOT.

That's me...2/3 of a Morris Dancer. (But my wife and I do study tango...)
When your wife leaves you for collecting Rickenbackers and watching top gear then you will be well on your way sir.

Nope. Tango, a lovely daughter, and genuine affection keep us together. Oh, and she plays bossa nova guitar.

Well, not in and of itself, it just takes a lot of money to pay other people to do it with you...

That depends on how much beer you drink.

My brother-in-law used to be part of a team (I'm not sure what the collective noun is) - when he married my sister, the whole gang came up to dance after the wedding, to provide the honour guard. They didn't actually attend the ceremony - they just warmed up in the pub across the road from the church, where my dad had thoughtfully left a fairly substantial amount of money on account for them. It almost certainly was not enough.
