Subject: RE: BS: Guilty Pleasures From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker Date: 30 Mar 15 - 01:17 AM I don't do 'guilty pleasures' - same as I don't do 'so bad it's good'... if I enjoy something, no matter how high or low brow, that's good enough for me and I don't care who knows it... Let's just say I have very eclectic tastes.... errrmm.. for example this extremely irritatingly catchy pop theme song from a completely bonkers Chineses comedy martial arts movie... Michelle Chen Cluelessboy And I rate The Archies first LP as one of the finest American pop cultural artifacts of the 20th century... |
Subject: RE: BS: Guilty Pleasures From: GUEST Date: 29 Mar 15 - 10:24 PM I don't feel guilty about this, and I would never deny it or conceal it, but as an old guy who usually has no interest in teenage girls' music it seems strange that I love the music of Lennon and Maisy Stella: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR_Fku7uM5M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-Mr2pmuad4 |

Subject: RE: BS: Guilty Pleasures From: GUEST,Ed Date: 29 Mar 15 - 08:35 PM I know we all have guilty pleasures Wow, that's really impressive to have asked everyone in the world! For some reason, you missed asking me, and I don't have 'guilty pleasures'. So your ridiculous generalisation is clearly wrong. I'm very much with Mark Radcliffe (UK radio presenter and author) when he describes finding '9 to 5' by Sheena Easton in John Peel's box of favourite singles. To quote: "So was Sheena Easton what you might call a guilty pleasure for Peel? No, because no right-minded music lover, unless shackled by the notion of what's 'cool', need feel guilty about liking any record. If you like it, you like it. You don't need to justify it in any other way." Amen to that. And as for feeling guilty about a very occasional KFC or tin of tomato soup? What the fuck's that about??? As long as your pleasures aren't illegal, immoral or going to kill you, get on with it! Without guilt. Ed I quite like Abba and Enya too. Happy to have anyone know it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Guilty Pleasures From: Ed T Date: 29 Mar 15 - 07:56 PM Fresh haddock, pan fried in butter, lemon juice and black pepper-served with new white eco potatoes, green tomato, chow-chow and steamed carrots. Yummy. No nap, but followed up with a cup of hot white tea, (infused with mango, orange peel, apple, pineapple, tangerine, strawberry, safflower petals, nd marigold blossoms). |
Subject: RE: BS: Guilty Pleasures From: Steve Shaw Date: 29 Mar 15 - 07:35 PM I spent the morning in Waitrose (I had money-off vouchers), went home, had a prosciutto cotto sandwich made with Paysan Grande Mange bread, unsalted Cornish butter and Hellman's mayo, with a mug of tea...and a nap. |

Subject: BS: Guilty Pleasures From: GUEST,HiLo Date: 29 Mar 15 - 04:57 PM I know we all have guilty pleasures: things we don't readily admit to liking because we thinks we are above all that sort of stuff.... Here are mine...what are yours ? And, oh yes, if we could keep this thread as light banter and stay away from the acrimonious and arguementative, it would be great. My guilty pleasures..food..Jammy Dodgers, KFC (about once every five years or so. Two kinds of tinned soup..Heinz Tomato nd Cream of Mushroom, about once a year. Hob Knobs , salt and vinegar crisps. Music.. Abba, Lily Allen, and Enya... lots more I suppose but people seem surprised that I like these. Books...The Occasional Low class murder mystery, sea stories by Julian Stockwin and very bad poetry. |
