Okay, I admitting right up front that I am shamelessly ripping this idea off from the Guardian talk boards, or GUT as it is known. There are a couple of reasons for this, firstly because it is fun, today is Friday, and Friday is not made for being serious, for doing work, or for anything other than frittering time away whilst waiting for beer o’clock. And secondly, I would be participating in this on GUT itself, but for the multiple bannings I’ve received under various pseudonyms for sexism, racism, bad language, inappropriate sexual remarks, being derogatory about disabled people, and other generally offensive behaviour. Telling them that I wasn’t being literal was apparently no defence, so here we are.

The idea here is to encourage as many lurkers as possible to come out of the shadows and post a comment, because you can be as involved or as brief as you like, just fill in your answers to the list and say hello.

So, today’s five are:
1. Favourite sandwich.
2. Favourite rock (or indie) beard.
3. Favourite bullshit bingo phrase.
4. Favourite music reviewer’s bingo phrase.
5. Favourite animal that is chiefly a native of Russia (link to a picture appreciated).

And here, to accompany the silliness, are some songs, just for fun:

Squirrel Nut Zippers – Twilight
Paul Weller – Has My Fire Really Gone Out?
Junior Walker & the All-Stars – (I’m a) Roadrunner
Charlie Don’t Shake – Heaps of Dirt
The Delgados – Aye Today
