All week I flit between Radio 4 & BBC London


But Saturday is my guilty pleasure day


LBC 97.3 FM


Ken Livingstone & David Mellor 10-1pm



Quite brilliant, I love and loathe them in equal measure.


It's great fun, I hate myself !

I feel compelled to ask whether people genuinely feel guilty about taking pleasure in biscuits, or drugs, or sex. Because unless it's sex with children / animals / your best friend's wife (I'm looking at you, Gary Moore); cocaine (ethically unconscionable); biscuits made by little people in sweat shops, where's the harm?


Throw off the shackles: pleasure makes you happy.


Unless you're catholic.


In which case, you're fucked ed.

Heard some woman talking about guilty pleasures on the radio recently. She was basically saying that people call things guilty pleasure when they basically don't think the people they'd want to impress would think it was cool enough.


I think she was spot on when it comes to stuff like music or films.


With things like drugs or booze, it's more the fact you know it's not good for you (as with biscuits to a lesser extent), so it feels a bit naughty. I can't imagine actually feeling guilty about doing any of these things though.

That'll be it Rosie

(but loving it)

Every now and then i will put on a pair of tights on instead of stockings, it almost disgusts me that they are so comfortable, snug and 'safe' feeling. I am however conscious all day of how grim they actually are. I would be mortified if anyone knew i was wearing tights, im sure no one would give it a second thought but its on my mind constantly. I every time i take them off i vow never to wear them again..............

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
