    48) As for 44) except that you suddenly realise you recognise the driver and so relax as even if the car ploughs right over you, you know it can't kill you and you can just get up dust yourself off and walk away.

    60. You are repeatedly questioned by Trading Standards Officers after trying to sell local A-Z maps for a six-monthly tribute of £15000 for the next 20 years. You are confused when nobody takes you up on this offer.

    61. You can reel off numerous military-related classical quotations from the loading screens

    62. You've been playing Barbarian factions too much if you go out on a snowy day and can't understand why you're not moving faster and feeling more energetic

    63. When playing Rugby, you head straight for the edge of the field with until you hit the boundary line, at which point you get confused and disappear under a pile of opposing players.

    64. In a meeting at work, someone mentions retraining staff, and you immediately start grumbling about how overpowered and unrealistic it is, and how it should reduce their experience level
