Football's rubbish, isn't it? Don't even know why people pay it so much attention.

Anyway, to try and temporarily take our minds off of what is a pretty glum time at the moment, I'm bringing back an old classic - Top 5s.

So let's have them:

Films -
TV Shows -
Actors/ Actresses -
Musicians/ Bands -
Comedians -
Holiday Destinations -
Home Cooked Meals -
Takeaway Meals -
Sweets/ Crisps/ Chocolates -
Drinks -
Board Games -
Computer Games -
Sports other than football -

You don't have to pick 5, go bigger or lower.

Feel free to throw in other topics but nothing Tottenham related, don't lower the mood <laugh>

Due to lack of time to reply properly at the minute, I’ll just pick a couple of categories for recommendations.

TV/Series - “Dark” on Netflix. Never seen anything like it before, and it’s well worth a watch.

Travel - Tokyo. What an incredible city, would highly recommend to anyone thinking of heading East. Infact, Japan in general is utterly amazing.

Heading to Budapest in May for cousin’s stag, everyone I know has said it’s a great city.

Someone likes a “drink drink” it seems <laugh>. Henry Weston’s is fantastic though, powerful cider.

Budapest's great...the women are as beautiful as the architecture and dental work is cheap. I went out there to have my impacted wisdom teeth out. Quoted £3.5k over here...the best dentist in Budapest did them for less than £500.

I drink black coffee...but I'm no coffee bore - no sugar or milk, Colombian. After that, it's booze or water. If you like Weston's, Lidl's vintage cider is made by them and is half the price!

Tokyo looks class, Asia in general is on my bucket list, still a few in Europe I wanna do first though.

I’ve said to the lads on the Prem board that I’ve “skim watched” GoT. Could never really get fully into it and often fast forwarded the parts that bored me (which was a fair amount) but I have technically seen all episodes. I was always fighting the Vikings > GoT battle lol.
