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


I'm @#$%& ed.


(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..............

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different.
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
