Love, like, hate or dislike

[Henry P]

all curly ferns. That means the windows aren't insulated enough too, though

[John Ashleigh]

It is strange - I can't wait for the snow.....

[Henry P]

I can live without it

[John Ashleigh]

I think the country is ready for it this year.

[Henry P]

i doubt it, with government cutbacks

[John Ashleigh]

It can't be any worse than the last three years, surely.

[Henry P]

I think it could be. The British aren't very good at protest and politicians know it

[John Ashleigh]

Sandy beaches?

[Henry P]

love- the best I've been on is Tel Aviv in Israel- sandy, warm, sheltered, safe with facilities on hand

[John Ashleigh]

Turkey has nice beaches.

[Henry P]

So has East Yorkshire, but they tend to quite cold

[John Ashleigh]

What about West Wittering, have you been there?

[Henry P]

Where's that?

[John Ashleigh]

I'm not entirely sure. Haha.

I went there as a kid. The beaches have white sand.

[Henry P]

Sussex. I've never been down there

[John Ashleigh]

Have you been to Cornwall?

[Henry P]

Yes. Really lovely and different

[John Ashleigh]

We go every year. I love it.

[Henry P]

where do you go?

[John Ashleigh]

St.Ives usually.

[Henry P]

I've been to Lands End, St Just, St Michael's Mount, Helston and round the Lizard

[John Ashleigh]

I've been to Newquay, Lands End and St.Ives. I've been to a few places in Devon aswell.

[Henry P]

It feels un-English down there and I like it

[John Ashleigh]

The New Forest is another lovely place to visit.

[Henry P]

you live nearby?

[John Ashleigh]

Quite close.

[Henry P]

Hampshire?

[John Ashleigh]

Yep.

It is lovely in the Hampshire countryside.

[Henry P]

North Yorkshire is pretty too, in summer

[John Ashleigh]

I can imagine.

The One Show?

[Henry P]

dislike
Wayne Rooney?

[John Ashleigh]

Dislike.

You?

[Henry P]

dislike intensely
David Cameron?

[John Ashleigh]

I am not sure I have an opinion.

You?

[Henry P]

dislike him more and more- he's after a job in the City after he stops being PM and daren't offend his greedy friends

[John Ashleigh]

Gavin and Stacey?

[Henry P]

dislike, especially James Corden
A Question of Sport?

[John Ashleigh]

Like.

You?

[Henry P]

dislike, because it's rehearsed to make the panels seem knowledgeable, although the gradual disappearance of Matt Dawson's hair has been interesting

[John Ashleigh]

Haha.

Emmerdale?

[Henry P]

hate all soaps
David Attenborough?

[John Ashleigh]

Love.

John Hurt?

[Henry P]

like. A great actor often to be heard making a livin doing voiceovers for adverts now

[John Ashleigh]

His documentaries are quite impressive.

[Henry P]

like the dinosaur series. I think he just reads the commentary

[John Ashleigh]

He was in a series called "Heroes" - he was good in that.

[Henry P]

yes. He was brilliant as the Elephant Man

[John Ashleigh]

Mr. Bean?

[Henry P]

like
Rowan Atkinson?

[John Ashleigh]

Like.

Wikipedia?

[Henry P]

like, but it isn't always accurate. a start, nonetheless

[John Ashleigh]

I find it very useful.

[Henry P]

it is

[John Ashleigh]

Carrot cake?

[Henry P]

like

Sausage and mash?

[Henry P]

downstairs toilets?

[John Ashleigh]

Like.

You?

[Henry P]

like- I read in mine

[John Ashleigh]

A newspaper, perhaps? Haha - how cliche. ;)

[Henry P]

No- books

[John Ashleigh]

The new kindle?

[Henry P]

probably like. Have you got one? I don't know anyone who has, but this is Yorkshire, where reading is for nancies

[John Ashleigh]

I haven't got one - I prefer to read a real book.

[Henry P]

so do I

[John Ashleigh]

Fireworks?

[Henry P]

like, except the bangers and jumping crackers , which are just mischief, but I haven't bought any since the millennium

[John Ashleigh]

I am always amazed by fireworks...

[Henry P]

it's controlled explosions and coloured flames

[John Ashleigh]

They are beautiful.

[Henry P]

True

[John Ashleigh]

But loud.

[Henry P]

Christmas pud?

[John Ashleigh]

Like.

You?

[Henry P]

like if not too black and strong
Xmas pud with cream?

[John Ashleigh]

I prefer custard.

You?

[Henry P]

cream, as the pud is sweet enough
physical labour?

[John Ashleigh]

Like. It keeps my mind off things.

You?

[Henry P]

dislike. It keeps my mind on getting tired and dirty

[John Ashleigh]

I used to do landscaping as a job.

[Henry P]

How was that?

[John Ashleigh]

My dads mate gave me a job for cash in hand when I was younger. I only stuck at it for about a year.

[Henry P]

what did it involve?

[John Ashleigh]

Putting fences up and building sheds and decking mainly.

[Henry P]

You sound handy. I'm crap at DIY

[John Ashleigh]

I used to work for my Dad as a painter also.

[Henry P]

I can do painting, but I'm scared of climbing ladders

[John Ashleigh]

As long as someone is at the bottom of the ladder and they block it with their foot, then I am comfortable on a ladder.

[Henry P]

You need someone to make it stable

[John Ashleigh]

Yes - and a metal ladder. Wooden ladders are known for slipping from the bottom.

[Henry P]

I get dizzy on a stepladder

[John Ashleigh]

That's called Vertigo, isn't it?

[Henry P]

I think so

[John Ashleigh]

I had that feeling once. It is horrible.

Gammon?

[Henry P]

like- try it boiled in Coke
the period between Xmas and New Year?

[John Ashleigh]

Like.

You?

[Henry P]

like
acoustic guitar?

[John Ashleigh]

Love!

You?

[Henry P]

love
the violin?

[John Ashleigh]

Like - especially Irish music.

You?

[Henry P]

I dislike the iddly diddly style of folk music, but like it in classical music

[John Ashleigh]

I am completely the opposite. I love 'iddly diddly' folk music. :)

[Henry P]

It all sounds the same to me

[John Ashleigh]

Do you like Blues music?

[Henry P]

yes, especially the crackly old acoustic songs. Do you?

[John Ashleigh]

I love the blues.

[Henry P]

Today's lazy posturing "R & B" artists should be ashamed of their rubbish

[John Ashleigh]

Indeed. :)

Mastermind?

[Henry P]

dislike because there's no prize, except the presenter's pay

[John Ashleigh]

Quite interesting, though.

[Henry P]

the second round is

[John Ashleigh]

Horror films?

[Henry P]

like if not very grisly. Many modern American ones are just vile

[John Ashleigh]

The more blood the better. Have you seen the 'Saw' films?

[Henry P]

No. I bet you have

[John Ashleigh]

I have seen them all and they're worth watching, Henry. :)

[Henry P]

What do you think about when they're over?

[John Ashleigh]

I just get on with life - films do not really effect me in that way. Obviously scary films play on your mind as you're trying to sleep....

[Henry P]

So what is the attraction- the adrenalin-buzz of fear, even though you know the horror is unreal?

[John Ashleigh]

I like to be scared because it grounds me. It makes me feel alive.

[Henry P]

I'm afraid I don't share your emotion, John

[John Ashleigh]

Walking barefoot?

[Henry P]

like if the floor is warm enough
sleeping with your socks on?

[John Ashleigh]

Dislike.

You?

[Henry P]

dislike, unless it's very cold

[John Ashleigh]

Christmas jingles?

[Henry P]

What do you mean?

[John Ashleigh]

All the Christmas songs they play on the radio.

[Henry P]

I don't mind, but there are many more good ones you never hear on the radio

[John Ashleigh]

Bob Dylan made a Christmas album...

[Henry P]

so he did. I saw a video of one song. Is he Jewish again or still Christian? By the way, listen to Sufjan Stevens' Christmas album- very pretty

[John Ashleigh]

I'll take a listen tomorrow...

Apples?

[saeity]

Like
you?

[John Ashleigh]

Like.

Peach?

[Henry P]

like
fish cakes?

[Shanalorm]

You could poison me to death with those

[Henry P]

I like them

[John Ashleigh]

So do I.

[Henry P]

frosty days?

[Shanalorm]

like, but not too often

[John Ashleigh]

I think frost is very beautiful.

[Henry P]

if it's sunny

[John Ashleigh]

Fifth Gear?

[Henry P]

like- you actually learn about cars, unlike Top Gear which is a self-serving comedy show

[John Ashleigh]

I still prefer Top Gear.

[Henry P]

ties?

[John Ashleigh]

I like them on the right occasion.
