[Closed] Confess to your guilty pleasures

Too many to mention, really.

1. I spend many an evening at the kitchen table doing 'work' on my laptop, but really DJ-ing 80's music on Spotify and/or Youtube while my wife puts the kids' lunches together for the next day at school, and asking 'Do you remember this band?' ad nauseum.

2. I read STW more than I write my own work.

3. I have a bit of a crush on Sophie Ellis Bextor.

Does, despite the ridiculous oration, finding that some (not all) of what George Galloway says makes sense, count? If you squint a bit.

edit: actually, that's not really a guilty pleasure.

"Under the boardwalk!" yep, I never owned that (or at least have no idea how I came to own it)

We rewatch Buffy The Vampire Slayer seasons 1 to 7 every winter.
Feels good to get that off my chest.

I like a crafty HP Sauce sandwich.

I can go from initial idea, to construction and consumption within 15 seconds.

If the items are in the right order I can do it whilst walking through the kitchen without stopping.

But does it count as a guilty pleasure if you can never remember having eaten it?, and have to rely on the detritus and after-effects the following morning?

I once woke up on a friends couch with a banging hangover and candle wax all down my right arm and front of my shirt and shoes and could not work out how this had happened.

After a full stewards I came to the conclusion I must have eaten the greasiest donner kebab known to man whilst staggering back after a night out.
Unless they have actually made donner meat fat scented candles.

But is it a [b]guilty[/b] pleasure on the basis of what it is, of that you had it, [i]crafty[/i] like.

I say both, so double points!

If you're going down the Phil Collins path, raceface90, then I might as well admit to liking a couple of post-Peter Gabriel Genesis tunes.

I've just eaten a 12 pack of mini rolls. More nausea than guilt at the mo although I'm sure the guilt is coming

Queen. Anything with a big fat screaming Brian May guitar solo - like lots of the stuff on A Kind Of Magic. Desperately uncool and makes me feel a bit dirty, but I'll be 40 soon so meh

I once worked with a chap in his 40's who had a picture of Avril Lavigne on his desk.

This was in 2003.

Bird watching. I love going out to a bird hide or travelling to an RSPB reserve.
Just can't get enough of them, never ever get tired of seeing common birds such as robins, blackbirds etc.

Elton John - I love all his early stuff and have seen him live 9 times, with was worth every penny in my book.

Chicken & mushroom pot noodle. I buy them in fours and always feel so guilty and dirty when doing it. I look around the supermarket like a meerkat, hoping not to see someone I know!

Alright, a real one:
Strong Cheddar and salad cream sandwich, with a mug of sweet tea.

And Jewel Staite. Shiny indeed.

I like 'deadliest catch'. Also, even though I am nearly 40, I've not grown out of the pleasure of knocking one out from time to time.

Uncooked cookie mix. If a pack says it'll make 12, I'll be lucky to have enough mix left to make half of that!

Also, Taylor Swift. 😳

A hot pie from Greggs or Aulds, guzzled down in the street outside the shop, and then another one when that one's finished, any time I touch down on Glasgow's hallowed soil.

Got so many that it would take all week to list them all... But here's some of the most shameful.

-Corned Beef. Yup, I'm another heathen! Bloody love it. Cold and with mashed potato and peas preferably.
-Bovril. Spread thick all over buttered toast! Yum. Also a cup of hot Bovril worked wonders 9hrs into a 12hr solo MTB race last summer... Was about 10mins faster on the next lap.
-Haribo. I have to try not to buy them, cos if I do, they all get munched very quickly!
-Fish Fingers. The food of champions!

And that's just a start on the food based ones... Here's a few non food based...

-Genesis/Phil Collins. They were a fantastic band, and he's an incredible singer/songwriter/drummer! There you go...
-Queen. Freddy was god. Simple!
-Michael Jackson. Wasn't known as the King of Pop for no reason.
-Prince. Fruitier than a bag of Starburst, but a musical genius!
-Many Britney songs (but Toxic is by far and away the best).
-Pharrell Williams. I want to hate him but I can't! He's just so god damned talented.
-The Simpsons. Probably seen every episode several times, but still can't turn it off. Even though I know every line pretty much, I still find it hilarious!
-Family Guy. See the Simpsons.
-American Dad. See the Simpsons and Family Guy.

Oh and most heinous of all...

-Road bikes. The more I ride on the road, the more I enjoy it! I don't think I'll ever stop MTBing, but road riding has taken over the majority of my riding by some margin now and will probably continue to stay that way I'm afraid to say.
