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

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
