No, no, not like that. I mean we don't want to know if you shagged the bishop or his/her wife. I admit I once confessed on these very boards to peeing on a church, but even that might push the envelope (and the church has been closed since: go figure). No, far more seemly things. Just the terribly unchic, if you get my meaning.
For example, I admit that I drink instant coffee. I even take some away with me when I stay with people. I mean I'm a coffee snob like the best of you, but you know, at three o'clock in the morning when you just want a figgin' hot caffeine fix who cares what it tastes like?
Well, I mean I wouldn't go for powdered caterers' blends, and in fact only allow myself the most expensive brand, which I won't name because it wouldn't do to advertise on the Ship ... but still, it's not the sort of think I'd confess in august circles ... ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)
Surely you have some dark secret? Your favourite food is roast guinea pig, or you subscribe to Breitbart or whatever ....
Keep it clean, of course. This is heaven. The angels and baby jesus weep in broiken harmony if they hear your sexual peccadiloes here. I don't even want to know if you go commando and all. No wobbly bits in here.

I mix Marmite™ with margarine and a bit of cheese spread. Just the thing with morning tea!
I have been known to eat an entire bag of crunchy cheese sticks in one sitting.

IIRC guinea pig is a delicacy in one of the Andean countries. I've been tempted from time to time to make a sort of galantine from a boned and stuffed one, perhaps wrapped in vine leaves. Has anyone tried it?
I once boned and stuffed a rabbit, wrapped it in pancetta and then vine leaves and cooked it on the bbq. Delicious, but the boning was not a task I'd like to repeat, much more difficult than a chicken or duck as the bones were so small and went in contrary directions.

I am an avid reader and enjoy 'literary' books, both fiction and nonfiction. I also confess to reading a lot of the Cozy Mystery series of books as well, though , especially those with quilting or knitting content.

Cheese and marmite improved cheese on toast but marmite, sliced tomato with cheese on top makes an epic toastie.

My dirty secret: I pretend to care about (American) college football as much as,my Dear Spouse does. I pay enough attention to the game to make appropriate noises of e,citement or dismay...7when DS says, " Did you see that play? Incredible!" I nod my head vigorously even though I've actually been Facebooking or menu planning orwatching birds outside the window. I also feign interest in the football fortunes of my own alma mater, when it's all I can do to remember the coach's name.

I agree with you on all counts, Boogie. Even as a very young child I loved my stuffed toy dogs but had virtually no interest in dolls.
That's not a "dirty little secret" -- anyone who knows me realizes that's the way I am.

I don't like children either, including adolescents.
Neither did C.S. Lewis, though he believed it was a fault in himself, not in the children, like someone who is tone deaf and can't appreciate music.
I once had a meal with Douglas Gresham (name dropping? you betcha!) who said it certainly wasn't obvious in his childhood relationship with his step-father.

Marmite is not a dirty little secret. Liking it is the sign of one's affiliation with all that is evil and rotten.
The creation, use and promotion of marmite is the unforgivable sin mentioned in the bible.

At great personal risk, clearly, I'm going to have to confess I don't like dogs. I hate their wet noses, like they're running constantly. I hate not knowing if one is all bark or is actually a vicious bastard. I hate the way they jump at me when I'm on the bike. I cannot imagine taking a plastic bag of shit back with me from a walk, or having to de-turd the garden before using it for human activities. I hate the way it's acceptable to post 'if you don't love dogs I can't be your friend' memes on Facebook. But most of all I hate the way they want to lick your face, and the way their owners let them. ![[Projectile]](graemlins/puke2.gif)

Cats are my pet peeve (even though most are not really pets). If they're really pets, keep them in your house. If they need their "freedom," and you insist on letting them wander all over the neighborhood, then they're not pets.
They decimate the populations of native birds and small animals.
And they poop in my yard, especially around any flowers I try to plant! I have to keep my dog in my yard or on a leash (which I would do whether or not it was required). She has to wear a license for identification and to show she's been immunized for rabies (which I would do whether or not it was required). But cats can just wander wherever they want, kill whatever they wish (and often leave the remains for me to find in my yard), and leave me to "de-turd the garden before using it for human activities."
Sorry, this is getting pretty Hellish for Heaven.

C.S. Lewis said that he didn't like very young children; he appeared to like them after the age of six or so. If he hadn't liked children, I don't think he could have written the Narnia books.

I like Pot Noodles, a nasty habit I developed as a teenager coming home from school.
I don't 'get' most modern art. A recent visit to the Tate Modern left me almost entirely cold, and wondering if the world had gone mad. The sandwich in the cafe was nice...
I occasionally binge on trash magazines: Heat, Reveal, etc. I'm so old now I hardly recognize half of the 'celebrities', and I hate the culture that generates the famous-for-being-famous non-entities that populate TV these days. But yet I remain fascinated by their failed plastic surgeries, weight-loss battles and breeding patterns.
Karl's post reminds me that while I'd probably give my life for my dog, I wouldn't let him lick my face. Not that he wants to, thank heaven. The only thing he puts near his mouth is what he thinks is food; and his eating technique involves snatching viciously and quickly in the hope that what ends up in there is actually edible. So long as he can either sick it up or poo it later, he doesn't care much if it isn't. Legacy of being a skin-and-bone rescue, I suppose.

Not sure whether that follows, but you could be right.
I tend to suspect that he wrote them for himself, and for the select minority of untypical children who were like he was as a child, and that he was surprised by their popularity.

I have been known to hide a candy bar from Mr Image so I do not have to share, and then eat it while he is out of the house.
I also often bring the car home without stopping at the gas station so Mr Image will fill it up.
PS I do love Mr Image but I really like certain candy bars, and I do not like filling the car for the simple reason the pump hurts my hand and the door to the station I find hard to open.

Funny that Marmite should keep showing up here. I have been publicly scolded by the estimable Piglet for saying that my ideal breakfast consists of Marmite on Aberdeen butteries (or rowies, if you prefer), so I suppose it isn't a dirty little secret any more. But I do recommend it.
Another one. I've been told that mental calculations are good for keeping the last few working brain cells alive. I have found ample time for this during the less inspiring sermons lately.

I'm already relying on Jesus' words that everything bar the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be forgiven a man, and trust that there will be a corner of heaven where dogs are friendly, have dry noses, not lick, will play fetch for a few minutes, then go away and be someone else's problem, just for kitten and me.

This is a real Dirty Little Secret in Ship circles, but choral music leaves me cold. I have sat through many a choir concert either reading, or (in more recent years) playing games on my phone, if either of these activities can be done without annoying or distracting others. Or just dozing off, as once during a performance of the Messiah that all my musical friends were wildly excited about it college. I sat at the end of the pew where everyone had piled their coats, and only woke up whenever a particular high, shrill note was hit.
As for the not-liking-children thing -- I don't really get babies and toddlers. I liked my OWN kids when they were that age, and tolerated the children of my friends during the same period, but I do not get the oohing and aahing over babies. My classroom is near the front office at work and every so often I can hear someone come in and a bunch of high-pitched squealing erupt and people come from all over the corridor to ogle the thing that's just been brought in. When this happens I always say to my students, "Someone's just come in with either a baby or a puppy ... I hope it's a puppy."

On the dogs thing, at the risk of digging a deeper hole, part of the problem for me is that I don't get this cute thing with dogs. I see so many pictures of "my beautiful boy" or "this gorgeous girl" and I just see a flat face and slobber. But I've always been badly grossed out by (even typing this I'm inwardly going "ick, ick, ick!") - urgh - [i]saliva[/]i - even human. Never mind canine.
They just aren't cute. No, not even puppies.
I'll happily play fetch with a dog for half an hour. But it's all that goes with them, as aforementioned, that I couldn't be doing with.

Oh leave the lad alone. I'd be much more concerned about someone being into hip-hop.
Never understood how the otherwise musically wise John Peel found anything to like about that.

Be concerned, be very concerned. Liking hip-hop is not dirty.
In seriousness, I do think the average age is a factor in the Ship's General aversion. And proof that the Ship doesn't list to port in everything.

Because hip-hop has every quality of any other pop music category. You. Yes, you, are likely not versed in the many variations.
I hate country music. However, having reluctantly heard quite a lot, there are artists who have tranceded that and I like. Well, at least a song or two. (my Dirty Little Secret)More importantly, even that which I still do not care for, I better understand why some might.
I still say most of it is dreadful, but acknowledge that it is possible for some of it to be listenable.

No, but it's a bit like fish innit? I've tried quite a few and hated all of them, so knowing that I loathe 100% of the types I've ever tried, I'm not inclined to run around trying all the rest in the unlikely event that there's one that bucks the trend.
Ditto Rap and any other music likely to be played far too loud on a car stereo (Karl's First Law of Car Stereos - 'The volume of music on a car stereo is in inverse proportion to its quality')
Country? Take it or leave it, prefer to do the latter, prefer it to the chart shite they insist on playing loudly at places like bowling alleys.

BT retreats, somewhat abashed, but resolute in his dislike of country music.

Actually, it isn't. I hate fish as well, but it is the basic quality, the underlying taste that I hate.
If you think this is why you hate hip-hop, the you do not know hip-hop. The varying styles do not have the same underlying quality, so much as a superficial relationship.
Just as there is a big difference between the Big Bopper and Nine Inch Nails, so to amongst hip-hop artists.
That said, like what you like. My point is that dislike is often more from ignorance than familiarity.
Enough of this tangent, though.I am contemplating a hip-hop thread, but I fear it will just be me and, perhaps Og, King of Bashan.

I reply to trolls on facebook threads. Although I like to reply to them not in kind, but rather with respect and reason. They never reply back, though.
I know it's a waste of time, but it does feel like it injects some dignity into a thread that's just full of people tossing insults at each other. I suppose I could claim it as holy folly?

I am hooked on J.D Robb's In Death series. They are junk reading, the writing is slick, the sex scenes repetitive (besides I don't think sex is a spectator sport), and the characters are predictable, but everytime a new one comes into the library I borrow it.
I am not so far gone as to pay good money for them though.
