Guilty pleasures huh...
Pretty much anything geeky, so Star Wars, "Ultimate Factories" thingslike that. Foodwise - it'd have to be white Magnums.

See, now that program really annoys me. Of course the kids know the answers - they're sat in school absorbing all that info for a good portion of the day. When was the last time you had to think about capitals of the world. Yes, you knew it once - a long time ago - when you yourself were in school. Ask them a few questions about something you do every day and see how many questions they get right!
Yet another lacklustre example of the pap programming that "Primetime" terrestrial TV calls for. One of the main benefits of the digital switchover is the choice to watch something other than that drivel of an evening.
*Him*
(Not detracting from the kids intelligence though - fair play to em!)
Hell no! Those that know me will have full well expected that answer but i'm big enough and ugly enough to make that decision for myself!
I might pickle my live and send myself into an early grave, but i'm not bothering anyone else in the process.
God knows this country has little else to make you smile right now so why not a little tipple (or two) when you feel like it - not when someone else says you can!

Godamnit!!! You could have warned me lol. We've just come back from honeymoon raring to go and now theres one less fish in the sea so to speak.
Wanders off mumbling about missed opportunities.....
*Her*
Ack ack ack. NOOOOOOOOO! I can't even touch my own feet, let alone have anyone else touch them!
If *Him* rolls over in the night and touches my legs anywhere from the ankles down, I slap him, without even waking up!
*Her*
I've just got home from work on the bike and it was great. She's (always a she!) a '95 Kona Lava Dome with '02 Judy Race, a smattering of Hope, Ringle, Syncros, and Shimano (natch). She's lovely - to the point of getting commented on in the bike sheds at work.

Oooh, anything Python is always a go-er with me, but I do try to get the more obscure quotes.
"Romanes eunt domum?"
"A nine bladed sword"
etc...

You see that's the thing - you laughed because it IS funny. Every single one of the people shown in the documentary, at some point laughed at themselves over something they'd shouted out and they've lived with it for years.
I very much doubt you were laughing AT them, more the situation, so give yourselves a break.
*Her* (who watched it and laughed in places too but doesn't feel guilty because I wasn't laughing at them :P )
Well, we don't have swine flu yet (we think), but without having received the pamphlet detailing the symptoms and what to do, we won't ever know.
Have you all had your pamphlets yet or are you at risk or contracting this deadly hysteria?
*Him*
p.s. pamphlet - what a great word
A sheep once told me...
"Patience is a virtue of the bored!"

If we had more cash I'd have every little gadget I could get my hands on. I've even got a t-shirt with <geek> on the front and </geek> on the back!
Love - My HTC Diamond. It's not the latest, but there's soooo much cool shit you can do with it. Oh and the (but it's not as good as the V+ box)
Hate - Freeview boxes! Her is sat to my right cursing the shit remote and it's crappy low speed update. You get to a channel and it takes 4-5 seconds to put a picture up! Bag of arse machine.
*Him*
See, now by the fact that you called them "horrid smelly things" I'm going to put my neck on the line and guess you're not a fan?
Apart from the fact that it would be bloody impossible to follow a cat on it's daily rounds, most cats tend to bury their crap. Dogs should be on leads - hence it should be pretty easy to mop up after them.
What gets my goat is that it's illegal to run over a dog and leave the scene, yet you can mow down any old moggie at your leisure. How is that fair?
*Him*
(We have 3 cats :P )
My olds live just down the road from where Darling Buds of May was filmed. Never saw them though.

Pink is something I've always thought looks good on guys - especially when done properly. Light pink tailored shirt worn casually.
The only thing that prevents me wearing one more often is the apparent stigma that goes with wearing pink (in Bristol you can add being a posh Clifton-ite sloany type along with being gay) and the one thing that stops me wearing hats - I think I look a right pillock.
Honestly - next time you see me, try getting a hat on me without laughing your arse off. It's similar with pink...
*Him*
I'm ya man for mechanical research topics!
I'm alsoo a bit useful on techy geekyness - go figure!

Well now that that flippin recession has hit good n proper (I refuse to call it a feckin Credit Crunch - sounds like exercise for your wallet!) we've kinda stopped doing take-away in favour of being all coupley and cooking it ourselves - which is a surprisingly fun thing to do!
We've got some damn good recipes from that there "tinterweb" and so far we've nailed sweet n sour, egg fried rice, singapore noodles (and also by default singapore fried rice) and chicken egg foo yung. Next on the list is crispy shredded chilli beef, kung po chicken, chow mein and szechuan.
Curry's are easy lol.
We're soooo skint!
*Him*
Yes. He lives in what used to be my home town, and was a regular customer in the shop I worked in. He is a lovely, polite, pleasant man - nothing like his TV persona.
