Do you have any little rituals that you carry out? I'm not necessarily talking about OCD-type things (that's a whole other thread in itself), altho they could be included.

Mine include: High Heels Friday - I always wear high heeld shoes to work on a Friday. Today I am wearing 4" platform ones, here is a pic:

Also when I work saturday mornings I always buy a venti coffee (I usually have grande), a cake and a copy of the Guardian on my way in. I don't usually buy a paper any other time. I'm sure I have loads more I just can't think of right now.

what about you?

I regularly sacrifice sheep and cows to summon forth the demon lord, Beelzebub. It involves a special ritualistic knife carved with snakes and apples, and using the blood of a shaven goat.

That I am aware of I don't have any 'rituals' except for OCD type things. I may have mentioned these before, but they are: all the notes in my wallet have to be in order of denomination (largest amount at the back) and facing forward (that is, the Queen's head facing forward); the volume control on the telly, car radio, or anything else with a numbered volume control must be on an even number (I think someone else also mentioned this). I can't think of any others right now.

My flatmate has the even number volume thing too - another thing you and he share in common!

I also have some even number OCD type things. Also, I find our booking reference numbers somewhat unsettling when they are six separate digits - ie, 954202 would be okay, 954203 not so much. I have no idea why.

I don't do superstition - although I can see that's not necessarily what these rituals - OCD or otherwise - are. I am trying to think, but I genuinely don't think I have anything like this - unless you count the fact that I only ever wear red shoes. But thats just because I like red shoes!

I'm also not superstitious, for some reason I just do those things.

My daughter and i have a little ritual where we make a magic circle that always has to be surrounded by different coloured blocks and contains 3 different leaves of different plants and trees. We then wish for random things. I don't think thats superstition though, just fun. For other rituals, you could easily confuse them with routine, like we always make pakoras on a sunday and things like that.

Thank you Kat, lovely to be in the know.

They are a sarky pair old Chris and consoloe mind.

I think Alice is probably Chris' new Thai bride, up all night moderting Footies drunken ramblings then posts at 6 on the dot, Tea and toast at 6.15, 6.30a.m. Twenty minutes munching the Fruit lube, 6.50 run bath with two drops of Lavender oil and one Ylang Ylang, temp 58c, level to be 1cm below overflow when manly bits submerged or beatings, 7.00 Washing & Ironing, 7.15 dry off Chris with Roase petals dried flat between the pages of first editions etc bored now

I've not done that for a while actually.

I may have a go tonight. Is there a specific subject you would like rambled about?
