Guilty Pleasures

[Annette Curtain]

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 !

Accept yourself for the beautiful woman you are, Annette; there is no need to feel guilty about pleasure.

[????]

I shall be consistent with my answer to the last time we did this :). Slade and The Spectator

[Otta]

I have too many to list!

[El Pibe]

I dunno rosie, I'm pretty sure for xfactor there is.

[the-e-dealer]

strippers at the heber arms.

[Locana]

Muhaaha^^^^^^

Diet Coke. I'm the kind of person who won't go into Starbucks or McDonalds except to use the loo and here I am polluting myself with a cocktail of chemicals purveyed by the sort of exploitative global giant I detest. So wrong.

[Pickle]

You know we belong together

You and I forever and ever

No matter where you are

You're my guiding star...

(every morning while baby sleeps, with cup of coffee and sugary snack)

[pebbles]

ha ha Pickle, me too :)

[Jah Lush]

Marijuana, cocaine and Ecstasy.

[tallulah71]

you forgot to mention vicadin, and what's that horse one? K? wicked....

[Jah Lush]

I didn't forget. They are just my preferences. Being stuck in K hole is not much fun. Still, whatever floats your boat.

[Ridgley]

What ever lights your fire Jah Lush :)

Ben & Jerry's ice cream but I have to be careful being a diabetic

[womanofdulwich]

custard creams- i eat one and somehow the whole packet goes..

[Guest]

Twirl bites (on special offer at Sainsbury's). Shame they can't discount the calories.

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.

[the-e-dealer]

Or put on the Shackles?

[Salsaboy]

mmmm shackles.

[Otta]

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.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

RosieH - no! I love Gary Moore and one of my fave concerts was his. I also have an abiding memory of my good friend (a vicar's wife) playing Parisienne Walkway on her oboe when extremely pissed.

[Moos]

Here's a very guilty one. I have been known to enjoy accidentally standing on people's feet if they push in front of me while commuting. Completely wrong, no excuse for it. Really fun.

[El Pibe]

Is that a guilty pleasure or an imp of the peverse?

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..............
