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!)

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
