The Guardian supplement on Saturdays has a brief interview, with someone more or less well-known, in which one of the questions is "What is your guiltiest pleasure?" As it's a family magazine, the answers are pretty anodyne.
In that spirit, one of my guilty pleasures is, when getting dressed (perhaps on one of those occasions where I have been banished to the sofa overnight)putting my socks on first.
What's yours?

At graduation ceremonies at the uni, I like to tuck a marrow and two pumkins down my trousers. It doesn't look very nice, though and I suppose it isn't very secret.

I don't think that matters PluckyMunky. The subject is guilty pleasures. I suspect that many such pleasures don't look nice and I don't think there's any rule about them having to be secret.

This is a very guilty pleasure, consequently I've only the courage to confess it cryptically: koob a fo egap a fo renroc HRU eht morf nort repap fo stib ettil gniwehc.

Thank you, Mr Aunt, I suppose you are right. It feels good to have got it off my chest, though.
I used to like chewing bus tickets, but I haven't been on a bus for ages.

On girls weekends away, playing the "Pants Game".
This involves buy a couple of packs of cheap pants from the likes of Primark, and then trying to leave them in noticeable places without getting caught.So far, none of us have been caught, and the places have included in on the bar in the VIP area of El Teatro nightclub in Madrid, over the head of a statue in Aberdeen, on the doorhandle of a Police Station in Amsterdam, on the luggage carousel in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Prestwick airports, the lift floor of a Dublin hotel and outside the Prado in Madrid.
Infantile but hugely amusing.

There's something desperately cool in the line about leaving knickers on 'the lift floor of a Dublin hotel'. It's like a song lyric.

Thank you stunts my lovely.
However, I'm afraid there was nothing desperately cool about it, except for the fact that the four of us were desperately pissed.Posted 10 years ago # -
Quite partial to a wrap of heroin. The missus is starting to suspect, keeps finding syringes with the tin foil I tell her is from chocolate.
As Harry Hill once said
Heroin... mmm it's very moreish.

Eating boogers. Oh no, that's not me. But it does seem to be the guilty pleasure of about 30% of drivers I am next to at stop lights.

Socks with sandals. Looks crap, Mrs Scroat would kill me. But so comfortable.
Oh, and the Antiques Roadshow. And Countryfile.
I'm not old, honest. Just got an old body.
Shoot me someone.

I bought my first ever pair of slippers about 3 years ago. It made me feel so old - but, as you say, SO comfy.

Ok, ladies' pants are all well and good but let's not get carried away. These a cheap pants from Primark, not the fragrant, still warm....
Excuse me, I'll be back in a minute.Posted 10 years ago # -
