Five guilty pleasures

Yes I'm sure this has been done before, like virtually everything else here, but might be worth another bash -

Having just polished off a decidedly downmarket lunch I thought I'd offer my own personal top 5 guilty pleasures, by which I mean things I enjoy in spite of my acceptance that they are a bit dodgy and/or in poor taste -

1. Baked beans on toast - with the little processed sausages (today's lunch)
2. Playing Jam songs on my guitar
3. Looking at Unabashedly Prep
4. Checking out the yummy mummies in the playground
5. White Levis.

Beans on toast with grated, melting cheese, fried egg on top and brown sauce - autumn stand-by.

Re: Five guilty pleasures

Yup - and their tomato soup, the only canned soup I'll drink (from my Elvis mug - hi, Kenny!).  Young children at the school I once worked in had a low opinion of Jamie Oliver.  Good judges of character, I'd say.  Isn't young Ainsley Joe's boy, though?

Re: Five guilty pleasures

1) Camping it up to get hugs off Yummy Mummies. When they think you can't appreciate it some of them really rub their knockers on you.
2) Camping it up to get free drinks. If you make people hold your walking stick so you can delve into your pockets for cash they're very keen to pay first.
3) Camping it up to get discounts in B&Bs or a free night on someone's sofa. The kindness of strangers.
4) Camping it up to get free lifts into town. The kindness of strangers.
5) Camping it up to get back & shoulder rubs. "It's OK, it's not sexual, just a bit lower..."

Re: Five guilty pleasures

I'm getting images now of Yummy Mummies covered in baked beans a la Daltry on the cover of the "Who Sell Out". I then proceed to eat the beans of course. Is this a good thing?

Re: Five guilty pleasures

I imagine you're always grinning like a f'ing idiot mate.

1) Camping it up- I love the great outdoors, including slightly embarssing outdoor pursuits such as bird watching and doing little habitat maps in my head (never off duty)
2) The motion pictures of Jackie Chan- Not the early asian ones, nothing guilty about those pleasures, but the cheesy US made stuff.
3) Cheese Beanos (Beans on toast with cheese on)- No egg on top.
4) S club 7's hit song 'Bring it all Back'- Such a positive message, great uplifting song.
5) Trolling. I just seem to be quiet good at taking the piss out of people.

Re: Five guilty pleasures

Oldies on here will remember 6d chocolate bars of the 1950s.

There was Cadbury and Nestle pronounced nessels in those days. Blue or red wrapper - an enormous treat in four year old hands and rationing was not long ended.

There was also Frys and this interesting bar.

They later went on to become the first UK act to sign for Motown records.
