You know it's rubbish, but you love it regardless......

"Say Yes To The Dress" when I'm home alone
Four in a Bed - found my favourite B&B on this prog
Coffee with condensed milk
Jilly Cooper novels - great fun and very enjoyable

They might be a light read, but there is nothing badly written about the Agatha Raisin books!!!

I've been itching to say that, BelindaB, but thought I might just be biased! I was lucky enough to have afternoon tea with M C Beaton as part of a GN competition prize. She was a highly intelligent, fascinating and slightly formidable woman, who had some great tales to tell. Her books aren't really to my taste, but I read a couple beforehand, and thought that describing them as complete and utter badly written drivel was very unfair.

Another corned beef lover here. I also love luncheon meat type stuff, spam crisp or chip sandwiches, dolly mixtures, jelly babies. I eat quite healthily usually but these are occasional treats. I also love Gogglebox.

I got so excited about battered cod roe that my syntax went to pot

I love battered cod for from the chippy! I thought that it was just me!

Kamiso re your comments toCrazygranny - I've never voted Conservative in my life either!

The whole point of the thread (if indeed there is one?) is that you don't have to agree with something; or think that it's Great Art; or Great Literature; or whatever, to enjoy it.

We should all just crack on with gusto doing/ watching/ eating whatever makes us happy, and bugger whatever anybody else thinks! ?

I seem to be quite alone in loving the movie 'Leap Year'. I can't understand why no one I know likes it. But I do.

Howards Way. "But you must have been born in ze water. You swim like a feeeesh".

If you ever get the chance to see Plan 9 from outer space don’t miss it. It’s considered the Citizen Cane of bad films.
To give you an idea: the spaceship was furnished with wicker chairs and velvet curtains ?

There is also a film called Ed Wood - he was the director of Plan 9. It was about the making of Plan 9. Johnny Depp plays him in the film. He was seriously weird. Plan 9 is so bad it's good. Thanks, Meryl Strep for reminding me of the film. Looking forward to watching it again if I can download it from somewhere.

Dear God I cannot believe that anyone would willingly put money in the pocket of that appalling Murdoch by buying his dreadful paper! After using Fox News to prop up Donald Trump (the man who pushed the 'covid hoax' conspiracy theory. Murdoch pushed ahead of everyone to get his vaccine in the UK late last year. That paper promotes all the most loathsome tensions in our society. Don't forget how hard it worked to get us into the dungheap that Brexit landed on us!

You definitely should have put light hearted in the heading FC!

Carry on insulting everyone with different life experience and views and the left wing will never win an election again! The Tories really appreciate you, crazygranny.

Co-op coleslaw is better than average especially on a jacket potato with butter, salt and black pepper and mature grated cheddar.

Corned beef, cheese slice and crisp sandwich on white roll.

Chestnut - Hammer Horror have been my guilty pleasure since I was a young teen and watched them with my dad on Friday nights. Didn't know they were on BritBox. They also show quite a few on the Talking Pictures and Horror channels on Sky. Christopher Lee was so sexy as Dracula

The film 'Raise The Titanic' .

Yes - I KNOW that the ship broke up into two massive chunks that lie separated on the sea bed.
Yes - I KNOW that filling it with a gigantic balloon and then pumping that balloon full of air to refloat it would be an absolute physical impossibility.

BUT when that ship is being towed into New York by the tugboats and all the other boats are hooting in welcome - I STILL CRY MY EYES OUT!

I've got it on DVD and yet I insist on watching it whenever it gets repeated on television. My other half just in why I'm watching it - I tell HIM to go and watch 'Trainspotting', 'Bladerunner' or 'Withnail & I' instead .

Tom Wrigglesworth’s Hang Ups never fails to cheer me up. Check it out on Sounds. Food? Crisps on cucumber sandwiches. Films ...This Happy Breed .

I loved the first Big Brother, before it was a big thing and before it started recruiting the weird, wonderful and wacky. Just normal people, bonding with chickens.

I was renovating at the time and would have it on in the background while working .

@FannyCornforth...That CBB was the best ever! Pete Burns was incredibly vitriolic.

Pete Burns. I just adored that man

I used to go into Probe in Liverpool just to hear his one liners at customers who were buying records he didn't approve of!

On TV, Taskmaster and Whose Line Is It Anyway? Both utter rubbish but so funny!
Food wise, Primula cheese spread in mashed potato, yummy! And Beefy Wotsits, chip butties, Tesco Yum Yums and the occasional Sherbet Dipper!

I am addicted to the property renovation shows on HGTV. I record them then watch when I cant sleep.

I think that we should start to read this thread as a list of Gransnet Approved recommendations.
A bit like Good Housekeeping Approved only better! ?

Ok, here’s my list and what simple pleasures they are:-
A Place in the Sun, and programmes about obsessive cleaners and people who don’t clean, Gogglebox, programmes about hoarders (I just want to go in and sort their house out), Pitch Perfect films and anything similar to them.

On a food front, it has to be peanut butter on toast, bacon butties, Dairy Lea on toast, chip butties, jam doughnuts and when in Crete the very delicious pitta gyros pork ??
