    It's painfully slow on here today (apart from the 'Ampfield' Thread :wink:)

    However, everyone has an opinion on what their favourite things are in a number of different categories, so I thought I'd start a thread and give people the chance to eulogise about what's closest to their hearts.

    The categoties are as below:

    Favourite book
    Favourite film
    Favourite TV programme
    Favourite band/solo performer
    Favourite actor
    Favourite actress
    Favourite author
    Favourite meal

    You can only have one per category, although as it's my thread, I'm going to cheat
    on one of them as I can't split them apart.

    Book. Nostromo by Joseph Conrad and The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
    Film. Barry Lyndon. Directed by Stanley Kubrick
    TV Programme. Father Ted
    Band. Steely Dan
    Actor. Spencer Tracey
    Actress. Sigourney Weaver
    Author. Joseph Conrad
    Meal. Roast turkey dinner

    Alien is right up there for me, but I think you knew that. I used to take the piss out people who raved about DiCaprio (mainly due to Titanic), but he is actually a very good actor.

    Tough to pinpoint one of each and if you ask me next week I'll probably have a different set of answers:

    Book...Papillion by Henri Charriere(sp)
    Film...The Shining or Get Carter
    Tv Programme...Match of the Day (but only the weekends we win <laugh>)
    Band...Can't decide on one but I'll just say The Prodigy as The Roses have had a few mentions already
    Actor...Jack Nicholson or Michael Caine
    Actress...Helen Mirren
    Author...Bernard Cornwell
    Meal...Sunday Roast (Beef or Lamb)
