Hiya peoples,

I submitted my top ten on Saturday, but already wishing I'd given it a bit more thought. Why did I put Texas in there. Doh!

* I had a crush on Les McKeown when I was 5. One Saturday while mum was at work, my brother scribbled all over my Les wall poster. Dad had to spend the afternoon driving around newsagents trying to buy a magazine with another free poster in it whilst I sat bawling my eyes out on the back seat. Every shop was sold out, so he bought me the single to shut me up!

Favourite Band: What, ever? Or just today? Fave ever = Beach Boys. Fave today = Bloc Party
Least Favourite Band/Artist: That would depend on my mood, which is mostly grumpy. I mostly hate Madonna, but that's 'cos she's an erse, rather than 'cos she's useless, although I heard "La Isla Bonita" on the radio this morning and it really is a shocker. A1 are my all time least fave, but that's 'cos their bodygaurd nutted me at a hotel in Lytham St Anne's when I was steaming and opinionated. I'm gonna get him back for that, y'know. The bastard split my lip.
