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.

    • Looking for used decking boards. Should be hardwood
    • I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there  back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
