Here's five, in no particular order:
- Decent lager - I generally try to avoid anything brewed in the UK if I can, but that's quite difficult if you're in a pub.
- Playing my guitar - I haven't got a decent singing voice and I can't really write songs, but that never stopped anyone on Pop Idol/X-Factor/whatever....
- Crewe Alexandra Football Club - the greatest team in South Cheshire. See the link on my front page.
- Carry On films - the cinematic equivalent of the old seaside postcards and a wonderful illustration of the British attitudes towards sex. And indeed my own.
- Goth chicks - no comment needed, surely?
Hhhm, let's see - beer, football, guitars, and the use of the word "chicks" - yep, that should mark me out as "politically incorrect". |

Again five, in no particular order:
- Tomatoes - Satan's apples: the succulent promise of the firm outer flesh, which is thoroughly betrayed by the disgusting mush of pips and stuff inside.
- The way R'n'B now stands for piss-poor half-assed dance music, whereas in my day it used to stand for pub-rockers like Dr Feelgood and Nine Below Zero... (I guess I'm just getting old. "Eeh, what's this? Call that proper music? Etc, etc...").
- People who don't stand their round - If you're poor or skint, that's OK. If you're just a tight git, you can feck off as far as I'm concerned.
- Intellectual snobbery - Town vs Gown? Who cares? Not me.
- Crap lager - there's just too much of it out there. Thank god my local offie sells imported Stella..
Surprisingly, it was easier to think of five things I like.....
