    Glossy, soapy, unfeasible, badly-acted, but so, so glamorous TV show Revenge.

    Come Dine with Me.

    Radio 4.

    I'll take herself and Kylie over Celine Dion any day. Weird thing is, I actually bought, yes, I went into a shop and bought Celine Dion's album on CD rather than recording it off the radio at the time. I used bring it into work with me and listen to it on the stereo when nobody else was around. I still have the actual CD and all, along with loads more music that would get me shot if I mentioned them in company :pac:

    I love eating grapefruit segments in a can, the Lustre 1kg cans, as a snack, while watching tv, cigars, I love a cigar in the evening, most people hate the smell of them.

    Actually I love people! How many times do we see on here how people annoy people? Sure, some people will get on my tits, but deep down I find people fascinating, especially people that do what they think are ordinary things but for me they're incredible!

    Loads more stuff that'll probably come to me later... :o

    I love Revenge, but the one thing that annoys me about it is the whole webcams thing.

    Credibility isn't it's strong point, to be sure. It's more a fashion and interiors thing :)

    I can think of a few things that masses like but I don't, the other way around is more difficult.

    Wait. Beer with the foam hat. I'm used to no foam now but with certain beers from certain locations it's just barbaric. The barman receive the "you barbaric pr1ck" look :mad: and thank you :(

    Oh and Shakira. I know I might as well shoot myself in the leg but I love dancing to her tunes :o

    That Louis Jordan song about chickens.

    "There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here at all, we chickens trying to sleep and you walk in and hobble hobble hobble with your chin."

    Classic chorus.

    Similarly, ale at the proper temperature. Freaks a lot of Irish people out when they realise that not all beer is served ice cold.

    Apart from that:

    Linux
    Dark chocolate
    Herbal tea

    Self improvement nut, immersing myself in JRPG's, philosophy in TV shows. libertarianism. Reading about the extreme views in the USA, stuff we don't really talk about here in this country at all. Austrian Economics.

    Logic, merely stating what actually happened. Embracing the good and the bad.
    All politicians need to be sat down and have austrian economics drilled into their skulls.
    Yet I actually don't read, care much about politics at all. It shouldn't exist, barely. It's all a serving game producing naught of value in the end, the public are aiming their sights at the wrong target entirely, Problem is people think economics is boring and they're right, but it is simple to learn, there is simply very few people charismatic enough to learn from, that's the problem..

    Extended terms for leaders. Let them see through their decisions and suffer the calamitous consequences. Monarch's are often the best form of government in this respect.

    Carl Sagan, space travel.
