Escape to Victory is the annual ritual every Boxing Day and of course it has the one and only johnny wark in the starring role! A fried Egg & Bacon Sarnie is better than Sex!
Food - Pickled Onion Monster Munch. Spaghetti on Toast. Chilli Con Carne Sandwich (Doorstep Bread) Music - Some commercial Hip Hop like 50 Cent. TV/Film - I've always been a bit of a snob my guilty pleasure used to be Neighbours years ago haven't watched it for ages.
Video Killed The Radio Star Barbie Girl Avenues & Alleyways / Delilah (karaoke) Muppet Christmas Carol and Treasure Island Gremlins Love Actually Robin of Sherwood I'll get my several coats...
Wow, that is bad. Dammit though I really like Love Actually too. Nice and Spicy Nik Naks Colchester Utd Flat Cap hat Fraggle rock Turkey Ham Hot water bottles Cava sparkling wine, more than lager. Mambo number 5 Tom Jones Peter Andre Oh and the Jackson 5, When MJ was still black. Sorry
I think my only one for the current time of year is 'I'm a Celebrity...', but in fairness to myself it does always seem to be on, no matter where I go. Rooting for David Haye, despite the obvious perks of the other two, this year.
Despite my love of hard rock and metal, I'm a big Kylie fan.......... Seen her live twice and she's amazing with a show every bit as good as Maiden, Kiss, AC/DC, etc
Music Dexy's Midnight Runners (the original) - Worst singer in the world but some of the soul songs worked for me Arcade Fire - ditto above for singing but the most multi talented musicians as a group I have ever seen Food Hoolahoop Sandwich with Mayo (no I'm not bloody pregnant!) Toad in the Hole covered in Heinz Oxtail Soup Movies Mars Attacks - What was that about but just have to keep watching it. AT AT AT AT AT Sleepers - you'd think a film about boys being buggered in prison and their revenge would be distasteful but what a cast and my favourite actor De Niro TV Delia's Xmas shows - say no more. Sugary, chocolately, creamy and the best darn bloody football owner in the world Air Crash Investigation - sick I know but after seeing a plane crash when I was young I have been intrigued by big birds falling out of the sky. Thing is, I love flying as well, had lessons once.
Woah, woah, woah there fella!!! Whilst I absolutely 100% applaud you highlighting Dexys as a "pleasure" let me tell you in no way should you be feeling "guilty" in the slightest - best band ever in my opinion! And as for Kevin Rowland being the "worst singer in the world" - give over!! He's possibly the greatest soul singer these shores have ever produced, and in terms of song writing the guy is an absolute genius Not sure if you've heard the new album from earlier this summer, if not you really should, it is astonishingly brilliant and Kevin will forever remain my hero
You are too young but IMO the best soul singer this country has produced was Chris Farlowe. Now him in front of Dexys, belting it out along with that trombone influenced brass would have been special. That was probably what I liked about them. Most brass sections were sax or trumpet led, but theirs was a different sound.
Saw Jess Roden a couple of times with the Alan Brown Set, and of course he was replaced by Robert Palmer. British Soul lives on!
