I HAVE A WEAKNESS
No, it is not the fact I have a "thing" for Aussie Beefcakes
(which I do)
nor is it an unknown fact that I absolutely adore Christmas and a certainTV Zombie Show
(this video did make me smile!)

But my REAL weaknesses in this frenetic, cynical modern day world
are
wait for it.........
I ate four yesterday
FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two before I had left Sainsbury's Car Park!
Another I ate on the way back to Trelawnyd
and the last I shared with Rooster Cogburn when I got home
Sharing your last Scotch Egg with a blind rooster does help with the guilt!
What's your weakness???????
answers on a postcard!
Fresh Fruit Yogurt Cups. I ate 3 the other day and they are not the small cups *blush* (and chocolate on occasion)
ReplyDeleteYou should try the Sheffield Egg by PJ Taste - its off the scale! Picey at £2.99 each but worth it! I'll try and get hold of one to send.
ReplyDeleteOlives are mine - when I buy them, I eat nearly all in the car.
on my list Diane!
DeleteToo many to name, but I would like to try a Manchester Scotch Egg. Instead of minced pork around the egg, it has black pudding.
ReplyDeleteOh, and ditto all Hippo's cravings.
DeleteBlack Pudding... Harrrrgh mmmmmm slaver.
DeleteI bloody LOVE black pudding cro... where do I get em?
DeleteJohn, I think we need to drop Tom aka Hippo a 'Care Packet' as the Americans did at a time when Germans were starving. Nylons you and I may exchange with him for favours "with benefits".
ReplyDeleteAs to quantity, John: Try my divine dainty quails eggs encased in sausage meat. Lovingly fried. You'll probably have TWELVE of them - and still won't have made a pig of yourself.
My weakness(es)? On a postcard? Can't do: My handwriting is quite big. Ok, compromise: I like a man who shares his last Scotch egg with a blind rooster.

DeleteI bet you have a load of guilty pleasures!
I wonder if Tom Stephenson's is BUSTY BARMAIDS
I love Aussie Beefcakes too but not scotch eggs !
ReplyDeleteWe have a local scotch egg producer who does black pudding ones. Ooooooo they're yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhere did the diet go, or did I miss the post?
ReplyDeleteStill, can't blame you, I love scotch eggs but they cripple my digestion so sadly don't eat them any more.

DeleteI fell off the waggon
need to climb back on very soon!
Clotted cream ! Cream teas are our favourite when we visit. Why is it we don't have clotted cream in Oz. Is there a secret formula!\?
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is salted peanuts. I could munch them till the cows come home and in supermarkets my right hand seems to move to them automatically. I have to yank it back with my left hand to prevent myself from becoming a wobbly overdosing peanut junkie.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be snuggled up in front of that fire with Daryl. A lady at our local farmers market makes her own scotch eggs and they are divine, she does black pudding ones too!
ReplyDeleteJo xx
Gummy bears. I like to bite their little heads off. It gets my aggression out.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't believe nobody else has said this yet: I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR YOU, JOHN! heheheh
ReplyDelete*brown-nosing here*
Oh, and Twizzlers, too.
DeleteI dont blame you ( about the twizzlers that is!)
DeleteDoes my weakness have to be a food?
ReplyDeleteno gale
Deleteany guilty pleasure will do
aw man... I am in LOVE with scotch eggs at the moment... they are very trendy too, so we're bang on trend!
ReplyDeletefirst time I have EVER been called trendy!
DeleteThey're not even the small ones!
ReplyDeleteno great big bastard ones!
DeleteTry selling a Faggot in the States and you'll get your block knocked off :)
ReplyDeleteBailys. Kept in the fridge at all times though, and swigged straight from the bottle, that is my weakness, or rather, comfort 'food'.
ReplyDeleteBeefcakes - I look too and have about the same 'chance' as you, John.
ReplyDeleteKilling the diet in one fell swoop, are we now?
I just watched the video. Have I told you before that I'm concerned you may be a bit disturbed?
ReplyDeleteAnyway... I have never had a Scotch egg! And, well, Hugh Jackman? Yes, please.
can they actually call faggotts faggots now?
ReplyDeletetee hee
No weaknesses whatsoever..I eat so healthily I don't need treats.
ReplyDeleteHA!.NOT!.

John, you naughty naughty man. You simply cannot put hot Aussie men AND Daryl in the same post. I'm feeling overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteI was watching TWD this week. The conversation in my household went like this:
Hubby: What you watching?
Me: TWD
Hubby: What's that?
Me: A show I read about via John. I'm hooked now, babe.
Hubby: Who the bleep-bleep is John?
Me: Just a guy across the pond.
Hubby: WTF?
Me: Don't worry, babe. A blog thing.
Hubby: Those f'ing blogs are going to be the death of me. I'm taking away your laptop.
Me: Touch my laptop and you die. I will start with your feet...
What the flip is scotch egg?
Nitty Gritty Momma
that made me laugh out loud!
Deletechris has that sort of conversation with me all the time!
when I am watching Mr Dixon doing his THANg! cHRIS WILL call down from the bedroom
"I hear you are watching that bloody teenage tv programme again!"
At my age I have buckets of weaknesses.
ReplyDeletewell?
DeleteMy biggest weaknesses are old dogs and fast-food hamburgers. The rest, I'll send on a postcard or two or three or ...
ReplyDeleteyour labs are a sweet weakness xxx
DeleteIsn't giving scotch egg to a rooster a kind of cannibalism?
ReplyDeleteMy weakness? Well bananas and cheese are probably the two most pressing ones, but I do have a weakness for cuddling Border terriers and if I lived nearer to you then that weakness would stretch to cuddling Welsh terriers - I desperately want one.
he only had the coating pat!!!!!
Deleteand you can cuddle my terriers anyday!
I Love Scotch eggs, but I've only had them at the fall Renaissance Fair. There's nowhere else to find them. Maybe I'll have to learn how to make them! At the moment, my biggest weakness is my flock of wild turkeys that come around several times a day. With freezing weather, I have to heat water for the water pans and they are eating more. If the turkeys don't show up when they should I get really nervous. I love the little buggers, all 11 of them!
ReplyDeleteAh my guilty pleasures change all the time....one month it will be snickers bars....then another time cheese....or cake...or crisps....or avocados...or........oh let's face it my guilty pleasure is just stuffing the food in and enjoying it whatever it is!...and Hugh Jackman? oooooh yes please..............
ReplyDeleteI made something called scotch eggs once from an old recipie book of my grans....I doubt it was a real scotch egg but it was good. Like a mini meatloaf with an egg in the centre. Is that what they are?
ReplyDeleteMy guilty pleasure...lays smoky bacon potato chips.
I've never had Scotch eggs but did come across a recipe recently for them, so might try to make some. I think it quite lovely that you shared a morsel with Rooster Cogburn.
ReplyDeleteSome of my weaknesses are secret, so those will not be appearing in the postcard part of my response. Ones not so secret:
petting cats and dogs
bacon
dark chocolate
excellent tea
shortbread
Hmmmm - how much of that Scotch Egg did the Rooster actually eat John?
ReplyDeleteHaha.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say pumpkin roll, blueberry cheesecake ice cream, and crawfish.
But not necessarily in that order. ;o)
Glad you shared with Rooster Cogburn, John. Have a great weekend!
Pork scratchings yum xx
ReplyDeleteOh and black pudding yum yum x
DeleteBacon and pork pies. I have only just started eating meat again. I was a veggie for 10 years but now it's all about the meat.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that medical people always have the worst diet? Do you know something we don't?
ReplyDeleteWeaknesses too many to mention and changeable by the hour. Currently, that fluffy white chick standing next to Cogburn.
Well I'm quite fond of Judge Judy...
ReplyDeleteSalty and crunchy are two of my favorite food groups!
ReplyDeleteI love a scotch egg and the pub around the corner does one in their ploughman's lunch. I've never had a blood pudding one, but that sounds really good. Hard to find in the states, though...

Cheryl, really? Good lord. I knew the Americans were into World Domination and all that terribly boring stuff but I never knew they held liver and onions rolled up into balls in such venemous regard.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I have been away a long time. Is it now politically incorrect to walk into a local butcher and ask for a bag of faggots?
Can I still walk into Bird's the Confectioners on the High Street and buy a Jammy Tart?
Next you'll be telling me that Robertson's have had to bin their Gollywog.
Lovely post - as always. I know what you mean about sharing easing the guilt. Once I left two TimTams in the packet because then at least I could say I didn't eat them ALL.
ReplyDeleteMy weaknesses, like Libby, change all the time, but I do obsess about certain things at any one time. At the moment it's;
Food: smoked salmon and strawberries (a punnet a day)
movies: re-runs of 'Tour of Duty' (mmm, Zeke, come to me) and old 'Voyager' episodes
activities: as always, a split between gardening, creating paintings, and blogging!
PS. scotch eggs aren't that hard to make!
ReplyDeleteYour weakness IS your thing - for Australians or otherwise - Christ, what do you see in that effing meathead??!!
ReplyDeleteI could give you a list!
DeleteThis YANK who is iin California has a weakness fro cadbury Chocolate bars... not american ones made by Hershey... but the ones made in Great Britain. Yummy
ReplyDeleteWhats a scotch egg? It looks like a muffin.
Milk or white chocolate is my weakness. I haven't had a scotch egg in years.
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
I think the word "scrag end" has been banned too!
ReplyDeleteTurtle Cheesecake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Scallops, big, fat, juicy scallops. And wine. And little children that have a case of the belly laughs, I swear you aren't human if that doesn't make you at least smile.
And wine. And fresh tomatoes....and wine. Did I say wine?
My wonderful English sister-in-law sends me all butter shortbread fingers, baked in Scotland. I eat the entire packet. Thank God she lives far, far away. I love Twizzlers, too, but she doesn't know that.
ReplyDeleteWell someone needs to tell her!
DeleteStaffordshire Bull Terriers and cheese!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I have too many weaknesses to fit on a postcard. This bleeding heart liberal falls for every runt of every litter, for every hard luck story, and every sweet smile and kind word thrown her way. Dark chocolate and lemon meringue pie and those delightful British cookies with the raspberry center and chocolate coating. And a mellow glass of bourbon. Laughing children, good music, and corny jokes. Life. Wine. Love. Grandchildren fighting to sit on my lap. My cats, and animals, in general. And as the King of Siam said... etcetera, etcetera, etctera.
ReplyDelete65 comments so far! Arent' we all sinners! But I figured that you could not be in too much trouble as long as you can still count on one hand how many of a certain something you ate. Once you loose count the real trouble starts ...
ReplyDeleteI would tell you what I sinned on today, but I lost count.

It is cheese...definitely cheese. Sharp and/or smelly.
ReplyDeleteVanilla icecream with Bailey's poured over it.
ReplyDeleteWhat IS that thing beside Cogburn? It looks like the bird from the Snoopy cartoon.
ReplyDeleteHeda, i believe that is Phyllis Diller. I forget the proper name for those kind of hens, the minute John called her Phyllis Diller, the part of my brain that may have remembered the proper name, latched onto Phyllis.
Deletewell remembered Megan!
Deletethat is indeed Phyllis Diller!
she looks a lot better now does she not?
she is a frizzle cross!
Just eaten four smoked saveloys and I meant to stop at two (and I had a giggle at one bursting out of one end of its skin as I snuck it out of the fridge...) Is Phyllis Diller posing? She has a certain je ne sais quoi.
ReplyDeleteJelly Babies ! boys of course 'cos you get more ! (I feel a quirky comment coming on here !
