Stuff you know you probably shouldn't enjoy but secretly do...


I am far too old for but secretly enjoy the TV series The Inbetweeners, about four filthy seventeen year old boys at a crappy suburban sixth form college. I will even admit to having a little bit of a crush on Jay, even though I am now officially old enough to be his mum. (damn!)



Shipwrecked on T4. Good to watch the beautiful vacuous fools sobbing and wailing in a misery-pond of their own creation.



I own and have read all 7 of the Harry Potter books. Book 6 is my favourite. Yes, I actually have a favourite Harry Potter book.



Countryfile, with John Craven.



Oh, and Come Dine With Me marathons, but I think that's now a universal guilty pleasure.

My computer always warns me not to do things - but I do them anyway. It was just a hint from CC that a guilty pleasures thread already exists - but I have no problem with repeat threads Pinky, so don't worry. It was the format of the attachment that was new to me - CC is a clever girl I tink.

Oh, for f&CUK's sake! I specifically did a forum search as well. Oh, well. I guess there's nothing new in the universe. Should I cancel the thread? Actually, CAN you cancel a thread? Admin, are you still awake? Can I delete this please? Extraneous to purpose!


Sigh.


Drums fingers.


No, I can't think of anything else good, might as well just give up and go to bed with my well-thumbed copy of Harry Potter 6...

One guilty pleasure - is almost laughing when my team Celtic concedes a goal - it seems to excite me in a curious/twisted sort of way. I want them to win but sometimes I like the drag of losing.


Watching movies that do not have happy endings - love that too.


Real guilt I don't like to be honest, that makes you feel a bit shabby.

Hey Pinky B... sorry I was a bit fractious yesterday

tired and gritty after full-on work week

suppose I felt "Guilty pleasures" was rather similar to "Things that have caused me irrational joy"...

which brought out the pompous cow in me! fancy pointing out that thread already existed, how rude of me!

No problem, and thanks. (although if I could delete the thread I still would, mainly on behalf of the person who posted the original thread).


I don't think there ought to be any crossover between this and your thread - this is about shit stuff you like but know you shouldn't, whereas yours is about lovely wonderful stuff and spreading joy throughout the universe.


(and I still can't see your link!)

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
