Ten Best - Stuff we like a lot

We don't watch much in the way of television, it's usually either repeats (or should that be classic episodes of ...) or some awful cheap reality show - who wants to follow Kate Moss's hairdresser and who REALLY cared What Katie Did Next? The best news of the year was Big Brother being axed - the next best thing will be when John and Edward get voted off (it's gotta be soon!) There that gives you an idea! We don't do the soaps either - we actually prefer real life.

Every now and then there are new programmes that come along, which show promise but amount to nought - why hasn't there been a decent (and funny) BBC comedy for years now and why was Heroes so bad? What is the point of CSI Wherever? Why isn't Ghost Whisperer on a decent TV channel here in the UK?



	We found with the last incarnation of the website that this page was really quite popular and we had loads of people contact us talking about various movies, artists and more. Well, that list was two years old and so much more has been going on out there - so we have decied to update and expand the lists to give you a better idea on whether we have something in common. Some might not be top ten, some might have a few extra's sneaked in, but you get the idea (and we couldn't fit all of that text onto the button).

So starting with movies first - in the past couple of years there have been a lot of movies out which looked great in the ads, but didn't really live up to the hype - isn't that always the way. We've almost given up going to the cinema now and usually wait until it comes out on DVD or even on the telly! Some are still there from the original listing, purely because they can't be beaten. There are movies which again didn't make the listing but are just great. Steel Magnolias and Beaches (if you don't cry, you're not human), Second Hand Lions (just brilliant), Saving Grace, Kinky Boots, Songcatcher (look it up on amazon.com), Gladiator, not for the half naked men ... oh okay, it was really.

Now this is a hard one (how many times have we heard that before!) - With such a wide ranging variety of likes from oldies through to new stuff, it's difficult choosing specific albums, so we've cheated a little and listed some of our favourite artists. Well, to start with, we're gay men so we love Abba (not too predictable there eh?) - basically everything they did was brilliant. Steve loves all the old High Energy stuff and remixes where they use imagination and not completely trash a track. Love the new Alexandra Burke album (last years X Factor winner), beats the crap out of Cheryl Coles album. We also like listening to Sarah Brightman, The Saturdays, Annie Lennox (more the earlier solo stuff).

As for other bits and pieces, well our top holiday destinations are : If you hadn't guessed already top of the list is California - San Francisco and Palm Springs mainly but love everywhere we've been (well except maybe LA). This is one State that has everything and we will never tire of it or of the friends we have made there. Spain - Have been to loads of places and even made the most of the likes of Lloret de Mar and Salou (they were last minute bookings so we did plan going there!) - love Barcelona and have fallen for the Valencia region and hope to head out there to live in a few years time (when the £ isn't quite so crap against virtually every other currency). If you saw the lists on the last website .... we're still waiting to win the Euromillions (still top of the list), Steve still wants to swim with Dolphins, we still want to do a World tour although we're happy with the bits we have done so far and we both still want to get to our 50th Anniversary (that'll be in 2038).
