Guilty pleasures...

No not the title of a dodgy 1980's Alistair Campbell article for 'Hustler', but a list of things I know are wrong, but can't help enjoying anyway.

Prompted to start this list after I cracked at the weekend and started reading (and worse enjoying) 'The Dogs of War' by the caring, sensitive, liberal that is Frederick Forsyth. For those who haven't read it, its a formulaic, pro-imperialist, border-line racist account of a British mining company's attempt to overthrow an African dictator. It's also unputdownable!!!

In my defence I had literally nothing else to read, it was bank holiday Monday and I had the choice of 'The Dogs of War' a couple of old Mills and Boons and a Barbara Cartland (all second hand) in the camping-site shop at Hendre Mynach.

So here's my top 5 list of guilty pleasures - post yours in the comments section!

No 1: The BeeGees - at full blast with the car window firmly wound up.

No 2: Oh its not just Frederick Forsyth, have to admit I've even enjoyed the 'odd' Jeffrey Archer (is there any other sort?)

No 3: Brown Sauce....on anything and everything.

No 4: McDonalds, Burger King et al - fast food in general really. Bad for the environment, usually non-union, everything that's wrong with today's homogenised, consumerist world - but great for placating the little 'uns, and an extremely effective hangover cure.

No 5: Er that's it...run out of imagination and honesty now!
