...and no, not THOSE sorts of things :) .

What are some of those things that are called daggy by many of your friends, yet you still love them and don't care. Confession time, people.

A couple of mine:

- People who know me well know not to bother ringing me between 6.30pm and 7.00pm each night as I will be watching "Neighbours". Have watched it pretty much since it began, apart from the odd break, and love it still. Yes, I know it's not Shakespeare and I know it can be silly, but it's one show I love.

- Glace Cherries. Terrible to eat a lot of, but have been known to buy a packet and eat them all on the spot :oops:

- "Groove Is In The Heart" by Deee-Lite. One of those rare songs that I will never, ever skip over on the MP3 and will instantly put me in a good mood, no matter how bad the day is.

This song (and try watching it without tapping your foot). Always gets me smiling:

I have a few namely console games and most of my friends and family know not to disturb me during american football. (If I am watching or playing.)
Vinyl (Records) are another Pleasure for me I love shopping for records.

Strawb, I'm the same. Shopping for vinyl records are a guilty pleasure of mine. I've also got a (circa) 1982 Tabletop arcade game and a vinyl jukebox with 1400 45's.

Where abouts do you find vinyl in Melbourne?

Here there and everywhere. Second hand shops mainly just depends where I am and what I am looking for to be honest.

Total Wipeout...I normally hate that kind of braindead tv but Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram's comments are so good.

When baking I always make a little too much cake mixture so I get to eat clean out the bowl while the cake is cooking...why should that only be a treat for brats...same goes for icing too.

Regards
JAS

I never feel guilty about my pleasures, though I have been known to occasionally feign guilt to appease people... ;)
