LIKES: Good music, good food, good company, hopelessly utopian politics, walks in the countryside, sitting in dark cafes along the canal de st martin, being by the sea, the feeling you get when you step out of a metro station into a new city, watching dvds in bed, daydreaming,Becky, soju, kimch'i, smoky old pubs with real fires in winter, live music, learning languages, soul and jazz bars in grenwich village, bonfire night, my cat, spicy food, people that speak their mind, smiley customer service assistants, vintage bathing suits, old couples holding hands, coincidences, looking at old photos ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .............. DISLIKES: trance fans, rain, wilmslow, 4x4s,the solitary blonde and her dog - and occasional prep school child - who occupy the 4x4s, fake tan, fake people, the fact that myspace puts down your starsign (who cares!?) without asking, the english trend for girls to wear no clothes when they go out at night (do they not get cold?), people that drop the door in your face, teen-goth-type people who all look the same, princesses, reeeaally small wierd-looking dogs, indoor public swimming pools (does noone else find them really gross?! -childrens urine? pubes? floating veruka pads? communal showers? aging perverts? just say NO! buy an exercise bike!), miserable customer service assistants, groups of men in white transit vans, those bloody awful french connection t-shirts with shite slogans such as 'too busy to fcuk' etc - they should be changed to 'i'm a fcuking moron'.
