  1. Oh Pete - though I love reading about other people, I'm far too scared of exposing the murky depths of my psyche to the world.
    My favourite TV prog is 'Early Doors' and 1 year ago I stopped work - yeah!
    Please don't overdo the pork pies.

  4. Oh another Scotch egg fan! I thought I was the only one. It's weird because for years I was convinced they were horrible - I think the ones they gave us with salads at school put me off.

    Love Homeward Bound too - in fact pretty much anything by S&G
