We all have a couple of things we like that other people just can’t understand. Things it’s just easier not to mention to prevent the quizzical looks we get which result in pathetic attempts to justify ourselves to someone who now thinks we’re barmy. Brave Kate has no such qualms however and is demanding that we share these things in the normal spirit of camaraderie and acceptance that is the hallmark of her Listography linky. So here are mine (please don’t judge me!):
-
Pasta with ketchup and chips with mayo. Yum. Fact!
-
La Femme Nikita. Not the various films or the recent series with Maggie Q and Shane West but the fantastically cheesy early 90’s series with Peta Wilson where Michael has the brilliant mullety ponytail hairdo.
- I make my tea with skimmed UHT milk and then mainly drink it when its tepid.
- Steeleye Span. Who wouldn’t love songs about the battle of Trafalgar, your husband being deported to America for poaching or a captain going down with his ship. I’ve seen them live and everything.
- Terrible action films of the Van Damme/Schwartzenegger/Segal ilk.
Well, I come out of this quite well, don’t you think? Nothing odd there. They’re all completely normal, right? *pleading eyes*
You can link up yours here if you like. Go on, join me in my shame.

YES to #5. I had a huge crush on Van Damme from my youth. And Segal kills me with his painted on hair and timing as an actor. Good list!

Yey! I’m glad someone else likes them. I find the mindless violence and the cringeworthy one-liners strangely comforting.

love it! x
catparrott says
Thank you for not mocking me 🙂
motherventing says
That’s not so bad. Although… Steeleye Span? Really? Reeeeeeally? My stepdad likes them (this is not a good thing). Everything else: you are forgiven. *mwah*
catparrott says
It’s a weakness, I know. Thank you for your understanding 😉
Paula (QWERTY mum) says
LOVE chips with mayo. Developing a taste for chips with mint sauce too. I blame the choice of handy condiment sachets available at Wetherspoons for my experimentation.
catparrott says
I’m not entirely convinced by the mint sauce idea but I’ll give it a go. Always open to suggestions.

Ooh UHT milk reminds me of my gran! I used to love Arnie movies until he become a governor.
catparrott says
Arnie’s the man. There’s no denying it!
Kate Takes 5 says
UHT milk? Bleugh, I just got sick on my keyboard.
catparrott says
I really prefer it to normal milk, but it has to be specifically the skimmed one from Tescos. No idea why!
indreamworld says
Pasta with ketchup?! Hmm, interesting (some would say you’re cuckoo, but not me, oh no – I’ll settle for interesting instead 🙂 )
catparrott says
Don’t knock it ’til you try it 😉
mishmashmum says
Oh dear, pasta with ketchup actually makes me want to vom! I understand mixing it in a sauce, but on its own?! Ewww! And I’m afraid I’ve never heard of Steeleye Spain! Learn something new every day I guess! X

They’re a folk band from the 70’s. An acquired taste, I think.
