Mockery, spitting, racism, homophobia, sexism, theft, primordial dwarves, talking to strangers (they have good sweets), food, gossip, picnics, telly, badges, scarves, stickers and stinky bargains.
Anyone who laughs in the face of matters tasteless or vulgar, for they shall inherit the earth.

Bad MusicI love the Kids from Fame, Girls Aloud, Brotherhood Of Man, Bucks Fizz, Spice Girls, Deuce, Backstreet Boys and Gilbert O'Sullivan. And I don't bloody care.
Quadrophenia, Hair, Ghostbusters 1 & 2, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Small Faces, Black Narcissus, Sister Act, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Grease, Mighty Ducks II, Sandlot Kids, Wayne's World 1 & 2, Four Weddings And A Funeral, Addams Family and Brady Bunch Movies. No-brainers really... I have terrible concentration and usually have to watch films in two or three sittings. Give me a good comedy series on DVD anytime... good half-hour bursts of entertainment. Either that or allow smoking in cinemas.
Cheaters all the way... Joey Greco is a God among men.Nighty Night, Big Train, Human Remains, The League of Gentlemen, Planet Earth, Gladiators, Chronicles of Narnia, Miss Marple, Neighbours, Who Do You Think You Are, Our New Life In Everwood, Kath & Kim, Adult Swim, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, Monkey Dust, Catchphrase, Peep Show, Look Around You, Father Ted, Takeshi's Castle.
Bad Television
I do not watch anything featuring this slut, who goes by the ridiculous name of Lorne Spicer. So smug and smarmy and has two voices like some schizo weasel. I do hope the BBC aren't paying her.
The Chronicles of Narnia, biographies, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's Krishna literature, Jurgen Moltmann's theology (which I've rediscovered having not really been bothered about it at uni), The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol and Timothy Leary's Jail Notes. I enjoy a good Point Horror and a bit of Old Testament too. Check out Deuteronomy 23:13... it's a good one.
The vicar's wife off Keeping Up Appearances. She must have such guts and determination to have blagged a telly job knowing that she is, without a shadow of a doubt, the shittest actress in the whole wide world. An example to us all.
MiscellaneousThis little fella is proper funny. I'd want to hug him if he wasn't such a gross shape.Gary Numan & Dramatis: Love Needs No Disguise (1981). I absolutely love this song, but what I love even more is that my lovely auntie Veronica, aged 16, is in the front row. You can see her quite clearly at about 2m 32s.Abba in German. This rocks in equal measures of the genuine and ironic senses...
