Totally non-footie, but, here we go!

I am a Radio 4 addict. They you are - I said it! Anyone else want to `fess up?! (:o)

Yes I feel a weight has been lifted off me. Okay I ma on a roll, what next can I confess to?

I always tape the Grand Prix and just fast forward to the good bits. I have lost the plot of the X-Files and have given up on it all together. And finally I am a Trecker!!!

Wow - that last one was a biggie!(:o)

OK, I`m in love with Dr. Steve Peterson on Emergency Vets! I`d move to Almeda East in Colorado if I could! (:o)

Hmm! Shocked silence eh?! Think we`d better save any more for tomorrow - and anyway, we need a few more on here before we can have a `group hug` - otherwise people would talk! Off up the little wooden hill now - speak to you tomorrow! (:o)

This should be the worst until Gav joins in.....

I was a huge fan of WetWetWets music(not so much the first 'kiddies' album)- pity Marti Pellow tried to top himself or theyd still be making great music.

This in no way reflects my personality....honest ;-)

I get up unfeasibly early on a Sunday to watch 'Blake's 7' and 'Earthworm Jim' - I even pretended to be watching the Adult Channel to disguise my embarrassment when I was 'busted'.

Like the Chris Rea admission Josh, I always loved that 'Joys of Christmas Northern Style' on Auberge. Do you watch the Grand Prix just to hear that little snippet the F1A play 10 mins before the start? Bet you do!

I share your passion for Radio 4. It's brilliant and I listen lots of the time. Superb comedy progs, many of which have been transferred in to TV progs, usually not as good as the radio originals. Responsible for the brilliant I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, (I don't recall you in that Gal), Goodness Gracious Me, After Henry, Radio-active, Whose Line is it Anyway and so many other masterpieces.

Even The Archers has a place in my heart mainly because it's almost exactly the same age as I am. I think Walter Gabriel is still sorely missed ... (-;

Jonno - I've got some "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" on tape - you've sorted my car listening for the next couple of days - if Ciara asks I might even send her a copy for her journey.

Softie - I don't watch G Prix much but I will next time. The man is an incredibly superb guitarist and awesome Live. Next tour is October. Good luck with Nic and the Little one to be.

If it's confession time......I bought 'Howway the Lads' by (I think) the Barry Brothers prior to the 1974 cup final........how sad is that!

I've even still got it (sulk away, tail between legs and sit in the corner for the rest of the day!)

What's that show, Josh? Is it like I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue(which I've also not yet heard)? I'm certainly interested to hear it. :-)

Confessions...hmmmm....my current addiction is a show on some dinky local channel in the afternoons called "Blind Date". They set people up on dates and film them. There's a GOOD reason most of these people can't find dates, lemme tell ya!! Haven't quite decided if this is scaring me off of ever dating again, or making me feel really great about myself cause I'm nowhere near as sad as most of those people! ;-)

I know other people do this now because I heard it on the radio just the other day. Empty a tube of smarties into a bag of crisps, (prawn cocktail flavour), eat the crisps first then the smarties.

Spud - it`s 6.30 am, I`ve just got up on switched on the `puter. Sat down with my first cup of coffee of the day, and nearly choked on it when I saw your posting! 6.35 am now - I`ve been back upstairs to get my glasses and re-read your posting! It`s not quite so shocking now, but what the hell, I`m still chuckling from my first incorrect reading! Blimey, that would really have been a serious revalation! (:o)

Jonno! You like it too! As a lady of leisure (in my dreams!) I have it on most of the day, from the early morning news to the comedy programmes in the evening. If it wasn`t for live football on the television, and the fact that my hubbies a telly addict, I`d probably listen to it in the evening too. Archers? Love it - something very comforting about it`s continuity - mind you, Clarie`s having a bit of a hard time at the moment, isn`t she? Also love the debates - the Moral Maze was fun with slapable Mr. Starky! Any Questions and Any Answers can be a hoot too.

What I hate about Radio 4 is any sort of change! Makes me very grumpy when they mess about with the schedule! (:o)

Jay's lying anyway...she's a fake!!! no self respecting Star Trek fan would call themselves a "Trecker"!!! we're Trekkie's!

I guess my most shocking admission is that I'm addicted to you lot!! oh and I've recently started watching HollyOaks!! ;)))

Mornin` Gav! I know, I`ve blown my image as super-hip-chick-type- Mum, but it`s been such a `cleansing` moment! As for you - I have no problem with you fancying Edgar Davids - but Hollyoaks! Get yourself into therapy quick!(:o)

Mum,

A cleansing experience eh? bit like an enema?.....

I hope you made Yelli do her lines last night "I must not mistake Andy Cole for Sol Campbell" :))

If she's that blind she must have terrible taste in men!!!

-- Anonymous, May 31, 2000

Yep that Cole/Campbell thing really wrankled yesterday! As for her taste in men?????!!!!!........well..........byeeeeeee!!!!!! (:o)

-- Anonymous, May 31, 2000

I could confess to being that blerk who got the Cole tattoo done before he got sold to the Scum...but it'd be a lie.

However, music seems a popular confession so: first album I bought was Haircut 100 - Pelican West, and I still rate is as a quality record.

On the other hand I was well ahead of my time and my 1st single was "Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew - The Show" on 12" USA import. It still kicks it (1985, and I was 11!), but counter this with knowing all the rap lyrics and rapping it a la Doug E Fresh with me mate Rik (no, a different one).

"N-n-n-n-n no we didn't..."

Jonno,
Agree about 'I'm sorry ...' , heard it Saturday and it's brilliant. What are the rules for Mornington Crescent ? If it isn't simply a circular from/to, naming the Underground stations on the way, I'm completely baffled.
