Guilty Pleasures

[TillieTrotter]

That's called entrapment Mr Keef...I wouldn't have dared own up to that by myself:-$

[Keef]

Sorry Miss Tillie, in a way it's made me love you all the more darling x

Why did they change the theme tune, it was a classic!

[TillieTrotter]

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!!

I got in to it at uni as a result of living with a scouse bird! ;-)

Keef, if it was Nerys Hughes then that's a worthy addition to this thread.

Having a valid excuse to say fuck off loud and emphatically.

[CamberwellOz]

Letting the hubbie go out with the boys for a night, staying in and having a really nice bottle of wine. I would follow that with stealing his steak out of the fridge and get away with it because I had to stay in a babysit. :))

Home and Away. Addicted. Totally. Even have it series linked on Sky + :-$

Saturday hangover and the Gilmore Girls omnibus - 4 hours of sassy american schmaltz

Pickled onion space raiders :))

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Sandwich Spread. Does that count towards my five a day?

[giggirl]

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.

[Jah Lush]

Angel Delight!!!! I used to love that and did the same thing. Butterscotch Angel Delight was absolutely heaven. Must get some soon.

[giggirl]

Butterscotch Angel Delight...... ambrosia of the gods

[EDOldie]

Country & Western. Yeee haw!!!

[giggirl]

I've got Dolly's greatest hits on my i-Pod

[Pickle]

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!

[EDOldie]

I downloaded The Toys - Lovers concerto from Itunes last week. How sad is that? It's not even very good. Oh well, a fool and his money......

[giggirl]

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.

[Brendan]

I resent the insinuation that Aqua are anything other than seminal modern band with staying power, integrity and a lasting impact on world music.

[Pickle]

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.

I've started falling asleep whilst listening to Radio4. The shipping forecast has become my own adult lullaby. I could do without the national anthem though. I feel the need to stand and salute!
