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.

    • If I correctly paste this url in, you can see exactly what Tesco plc is proposing to do with the site: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/files/82A133E84D9AF5351A8B38889C17E72D/pdf/25_AP_1353-PROPOSED_ELEVATION_1-4061617.pdf
    • Helen and Steve did an incredible job transforming our garden (erecting a new fence, building decking, laying a new lawn and planting). Helen is very thoughtful and helped to prepare a detailed plan ahead of the work starting aligned to what we wanted and within our budget. The team worked quickly and efficiently and were incredibly polite and professional throughout. Everything was carried out to such a high standard and I couldn’t be happier with the result - we have got so much enjoyment from the garden since then. Highly recommend!
    • Silly question, but have you reported this elsewhere as well as on here? Eg passport office, banks (if there are bank cards), police? Because if someone is carrying around their passport (assuming it's theirs) they must be pretty devastated if they have lost it, and it's fairly unlikely they will see this post, though fingers crossed.
    • * Big, sick & tired sigh * Ok, so here is this year's small selection of Gala litter that has been left behind. I have to emphasise, it is only a small part of what is still there, collected on Tuesday from a relatively small area in the south of the ex-site. I also have to emphasise this only took about an hour of slow wandering, using only my eyes & hands - no specialist equipment, and I'm not a paid employee of a specialist waste management company. And to confirm, this is after "The site was checked at the end of GALA’s tenancy and found to be clear of event-related litter" by the Council / Parks Dept. There's 488 items there, many of which would be potentially hazardous to children, pets & wildlife. Not least the small bag in the bottom left corner, still containing a suspicious white substance. I'm hoping to pass this on to the police for testing, ensuring it is recorded for the purposes of next year's licence consideration.  Please - before anyone posts any comments defending this, denying it is festival related, insulting me, whatever - just go and have a close look yourself, particularly where the tents, stages & toilets were sited. It's obviously from the festival, and there's still loads of it there, all over our park. It is literally being trashed, year after year, despite repeated assurances from the organisers.  I'm sick of it, it's just so depressing.
