Listography – Top 5 Random Things I Like
You know when people go, ‘Oh I’m so RANDOM’ and ‘Isn’t it random?’ etc and you just want to punch them in the face? This is not one of those times. We never, ever punch KateTakes5 in the face. We heart her, and do her Listography bidding. This week, the theme is Top 5 random things I like, and we were WARNED by Kate to not just write ‘I like chocolate’. Or she would punch us in the face.
So with that threat of violence ringing in my ears, here is my Top 5:
The stringy white stringy stuff on satsumas/clementines etc
Before you cry ‘DEMON’ and retch into your sleeves, may I remind you that the stringy white stringy stuff (its actual name) is all part of the orange and really quite tasty? Yes, yes, I know I am the only person you’ll ever meet that will admit to liking the stringy white stringy stuff on satsumas/clementines etc, but it’s not that bad. People who peel it all off are the weirdos. Not me.
The Go Compare ads on TV
They do different ones! With different scenarios! It’s like they tell a little story each time! I liked the space one with aliens, and the 17th century style one with the lady singer. Not too keen on the caveman one, the singing mammoth is just a bit too far-fetched, if you ask me.
The smell of creosote
It reminds me of playing in my nan’s garden when I was little. Hot summer days, warm wooden fences, larking about in the tall grass and throwing apples at my cousins. Good times.
Air raid sirens
Yeah, we don’t hear them every day, do we? But there’s something about that noise that gets my adrenalin pumping. It’s thrilling and fecking terrifying at the same time. And I do a great impression of one when drunk.
Belgium
I’ve never even been, but I love this place, mostly due to the film In Bruges (starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes) which contains lots of swearing and violence and is VERY FUNNY and also made me cry a bit. And proved to me that Colin Farrell can actually act. And makes Belgium look awesome. In a really mundane, bland kind of way…
Approved by the tourist board of Belgium (this may be a lie)
That’s yer lot! Move along now! Go see the other reprobates that joined in on Kate’s lovely blog!
Not only do I also like the stringy white stuff on satsumas, I’ve been known to eat the skin. Yes, the actual peel. Beat that for weirdness!
OK you win. That’s mega weird.
Go compare? Go compare? Jeez missus. Am with you on Belgium though and have never been either xxx (BIG LURVE KISSES
)
I know. It will be stuck in your head now, FOREVER. Soz about that. We should go to Belgium!! Girls’ holiday! Cat will come too and Melksham Mum and Not So Slummy! IT WOULD BE GREAT
x x x x
I’m pretty disappointed that we are not in your list…
.
But Belgium is. Our e-mailadress is Belgian
Gotta love the Belgians! Well, the chocolate.
For sure

Great random likes, can’t agree with many, but hey, that’s the idea! Got the dreaded ‘go compare’ tune stuck in my head now – thanks!!
Mahahaha you’re most welcome. It’s stuck in my head for most of the time, only fair I share it with the wider population in general!
ok pretty random but not THAT random *hurrumph* Never took you as a Go Compare lover though…
No one can be a s random as Reluctant Housedad. He out-randomed us all. What can I say? The ads tickle me. In a really annoying way.
Mmm, the smell of creosote and petrol – that lovely light-headed feeling when you breathe them in deeply (as the brain cells perish…)
I used not to be partial to the stringy white stuff on clementines etc but am eating it these days as I don’t want Little O to be all fussy like me and spend ages peeling it off. And you know what, it isn’t actually so bad after all. You live and learn ;o)
Stringy white stuff… yum. To be fair, I wouldn’t eat a whole pile of it. Or like, a stringy white stuff sandwich. I just don’t peel it all off till there’s none left, like some freaky people do!
You’re a strange woman, but we love you anyway. x
I live to entertain x
Noooooo to the white stringy stuff, that’s so yucky!
But I really love In Bruge! The dialogue is just amazing “you’re an f****** inanimate object!!” and “maybe this is what hell is, dying in f***** Bruge!”. Love it!!
Mahahahaha it is an AWESOME film. In fact, I must see it again.
Mmm..the smell of petrol…
We leave the windows open at the petrol station
Creosote smells lush
as does petrol
FACT
I do loves a good whiff of both.
