Believe me, I know!

But rest assured, I like lots of proper artists too. It's not all manufacted bubblegum pop all of the time. My collection includes people like PJ Harvey, Laura Marling, The Beatles, David Bowie, and Kate Bush so I hope it balances the naff stuff out.

My CD collection includes Westlife, 5ive, S club 7, Abba, Ricky Martin and Take That. It's embarrassing as they are sat next to stuff like Sepultura, Nirvana, Korn, Metallica. How can a girl into Heavy Metal and grunge listen to naff 90's pop.

Personally, I wouldn't have publicly shared that information

I'm a 40 year old bloke and will occasionally find myself watching and enjoying "In the Night Garden" on my own without my kids.

Beat that!

After reading through this thread, I went straight to Amazon to look at Teasmades!

I want some Lego too. I am 62

I quite like and admire Cliff Richard and always have.

I'm generally pretty comfortable just doing my own thing, and I'm a pretty out and proud geek/nerd type.

I'm a life-long gamer, still love games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Monkey Island. I love anything sci-fi/fantasy, pretty average Trekkie, haven't seen them all and I prefer the Picard era to the Kirk era (however, saying that I do love the JJ Abrams reboot, and really enjoyed DS9), I also love Star Wars, even to a degree.....Episode 1. Although I hated Jar Jar as much as anyone else. I was a great Buffy/Angel fan, and also Stargate SG1.

I'm a huge Potterite, and have read the books too many times. I'm also a massive Lostie, and unlike many absolutely loved the story from beginning to end.

I suppose the only thing I was ever majorly ribbed for by my friends was that I used to love Pokemon (the TV cartoon, not the game so much). I was a mid-late teen at the time so it wasn't really aimed at me, but I thought it was funny as hell and absolutely loved the bad guys, Team Rocket, which was my main reason for watching it.

I'm sure there's more but can't think right now, haha

I have some Take That and Boyzone on my ipod. Everyone who knows me knows I like camp bad 70s music but somehow that's cooler than 90s boybands.

My 17 year old collects the Lego minifigs as well as buys big Lego sets for xmas and his bday and is totally out on FB and everywhere about his Lego obsession. They're called TFOLs and AFOLs apparently (Teenage/Adult Fan of Lego). I think. He builds some amazing things and puts em on Flickr and Tumblr. There is a whole adult Lego community out there, for those of you who are worried...

Ooh, I like you a lot! I love Star Trek, Buffy/Angel, Harry Potter, and enjoyed Lost from beginning to end too. And Pokemon - hell yes, Team Rocket were awesome bad guys, and I was older than the target audience too when that show was on but would watch it if I was flicking through the channels and it came on.

Wish I had a mate like you in real life who was into all those things.

Being caught unawares by package deliveries when I am trying to have a wank. Why do expected deliveries always arrive when I am having a wank?

Maybe 25 times a day is a bit excessive...

You tell me. Although I'm heavily into 80's jazz funk/soul and new romantic I also like some rock, particularly Kiss and Rush.

And Ace Frehley was just awesome, particularly on his solo album. Spaceman, you rock.

Neil Peart drum solo. Unbelievable hand and foot co-ordination.

My sons and I like nothing better than to settle down and watch the stupendous Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction with Will Riker from Star Trek.

Production values are like UK TV in the 60s. It's fabulous.

I have also always loved the song "Can you feel the love tonight" by Elton John and even have it on my phone. That song, Lion King and DB/DBZ effectively raised me.
I love the Lion King as well, I went to see it last year in 3D. I also signed the register at my wedding 2 years ago to "CYFTLT"

I've thought of some more:

I enjoy the Twilight films
I still blubber at sap like Ghost and Beaches
The Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz make me cry buckets also
I love watching videos of TV bloopers on Youtube, and Stupid Gameshow Answers
I talk to my cats
I think some of the classic fairy tales are genuinely terrifying, especially Hansel and Gretel (and love them for it)
Shirley Temple movies and those ridiculous Esther Williams swimming musicals delight me

I still like S Club 7, Steps, Liberty X and Westlife. I quite like One Direction as well.

I still read the Babysitters Club Books.

I watch Jeremy Kyle, Maury, Judge Judy and Blue Peter when I get the chance. I also love all those hospital programmes.

I like to write poetry and stories.

I collect porcelain dolls and teddy bears.

I find colouring in very therapeutic and I like lego too.
