Ok, well I got the impression it was a bit more than “the odd slice”.

Put it this way, if I am cutting up potatoes for sunday lunch I might have a chunk or two, I don’t ever just peel one and eat it as a snack.

Still, didn’t know that, although the jury seems to be out about the real potential for ill-effects other than about eating green potatoes (which I knew). It seems many vegetables (such as radish) can carry similar risks and lots of the risk is in picking up bugs like e coli from the soil they are grown in, so the same would be saif for carrots, onions etc that are often eaten raw?

Donner meat and chips.

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?

Positives from eating raw potato…

All this has a positive side in that the fermentation of resistant starches increases the production of butyrate, a fatty acid that is associated with favorable effects on diseases in the colon.

I dont drink so don’t have that excuse but have confessed to Mrs Nipper – even the cat wont eat the donner meat so its all mine 😀

Potatoes contain two glycoalkaloid saponins

Music:
Pink – not when she sings her own stuff, but when she covers classic rock songs.
Take That live, forget their recorded music, live they are amazing.

Driving:
Quick up-shifts in the Abarth under bridges and through tunnels. BANG! or if I’m really lucky BANG-BANG!
That little hovering wheelie I get on the KTM when launching it away from roundabouts. It must only be a few cm off the deck but it feels soooo goood. 8)

Books: David Gemmell and Bernard Cornwall which break down to Sharpe , Sharpe with Bows and Arrows and Sharpe with swords and saxs.

Crisps. especially “odd” flavours Guinness flavour being a current joy.

Yup, love David Gemmell, Dark prince and Lion of Macedon…

I also love cheesy chips ( thanks Binners) 😀

Oh, and Prefab Sprout 😳

You’ve eaten donner meat sober? You may be unique in this 😯

It’s all coming out now. Let it flow, confess my child.

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.

Hayley Williams (Paramore)
Gwen Stefani
Carol Vorderman

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.

And I don’t give one single iota of a damn what any of you say.

^^^^ 😯

How is Gwen Stefani a guilty pleasure.

Flash you may have taken this thread into unchartered water we will never return from 😯

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

I never had a problem with George Lamb.

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

this is mine.

All those women moaning about their mother in laws and their neighbours and their kids and their husbands, it’s very carthartic, I love it.

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.

i will always love the neverending story (both the limahl classic and film).

also falco’s rock me amadeus.

i like phil collins also [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0qBaBb1Y-U[/video] 8)

I like a crafty HP Sauce sandwich.

But is it a guilty pleasure on the basis of what it is, of that you had it, crafty 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

“Who was the lead singer of Genesis before Phil Collins?”

“Send your answers on a postcard to the Peter Gabriel Competition, BBC television centre”

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

Avril Lavigne, paramore, Fall Out Boy. If its MOR American teen rock, then its pretty much on my iPod

Lunch time drinking

Baked Cheesecake straight from the fridge as soon as I come home from work

Alyson Hannigan?

I seem to remember she was pretty cute!

I’m working from home today, so I’ll just have a quick google to check that out, my memory is rubbish. BRB.

Eating the paper cases cupcakes/muffins come in.

Avril Lavigne

I saw Avril Lavigne live once, which probably means I’m on some sort of register. She was good though. I’m wiiiiiiiiii yooooohoooooohoohoooooooo

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

This was in 2003.

gofasterstripes this is one of my fav pics of her

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.

Folk & country

Yep.

Mine are…

– Chip butty’s
– Chips with Chinese takeaway
– Afternoon naps with the cat
– John Hughes films
– Films with Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant

I like watching these two families …
