Ta luv. :)) In my defence (and yes I do need one) it's the result of having a teenager and her friends lounging around on a Sunday morning watching it and I sort of got addicted. And I do mean addicted. The most horrendous acting in the world...and yet!!

Pickled Onion Space Raiders and Sandwich Spread! Sometimes when I'm in the supermarket I look at things and think to myself "who the heck buys this crap". Well now I know. Remember a few years ago when Heinz threatened to withdraw salad cream because of poor sales? Remember the uproar that followed and what that did for salad cream and we all started buying it again. I grew up in the 70s when salads were dripping in the stuff.


I don't have any food-reated guilty pleasures anymore because my aged metabolism denies me any such pleasures. One past guilty pleasure was mixing up a whole packed of Angel Delight, putting it in the freezer for 20 minutes, then scoffing the lot. How I miss that.

Mine has a Hanson album on it. Remember them? Brothers, popular in the 90's with young teenage girls. My sister gave me her old CD as a joke, I got sucked in by that "Mmmmm bop" song. Oh dear.


Not to mention the Aqua album, of "Barbie Girl" fame! Makes me smile, many a drunken night spent in NZ pubs dancing to that one!

I've also got Bette Midler on my i-pod. I love her. I spent last Christmas/New Year in Vegas and my one regret is that we missed her by days. Bette's taken over at Ceasar's Palace from that awful Titanic woman whose name I can't remember. I would love to see her live. I'm going to San Fran this New Years - maybe I'll take me a little trip into the dessert to go see Bette when I'm out there.


I've actually got some fairly embarrassing stuff on my i-pod. I have my cheesy side.

MmmBop and Barbie Girl are fine examples of the 'One Hit That It's Not Just OK To Like But That It Would Be Perverse Not To' genre, that You and I may have just coined. Hurrah!

Others could be The Police 'Every Breath You Take', Department S 'Is Vic There?' and '19' by that Paul whatever his name was.

There was also a Peter Andre CD in that fantastic "take the piss out of older sister" selection from my sister, but I can honestly say it didn't make it onto the Ipod! Not in the same league as Aqua and Hanson.


Is it wrong to like that Police song? They play it on Magic all the time, great one for singing along to! :-$


Note, I am not old, just stumbled across Magic one day when bored of Capital's constant playing of Amy Winehouse which was driving me slowly mad... and a year on I still listen to it. Scarily my son gets excited when the strains of "Mrs Robinson" start up - might have to introduce him to something a bit more modern!

Just tell him 'Goo Goo Goo Joo' and he'll know what to do.

It seems so appropriate to the song that he's taking an interest at an early age.

    • 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.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
