1. Baths 2. Ballads, love songs, soft rock, all that kind of drippy stuff 3. Musicals, with a few exceptions 4. Chick lit 5. Roller coasters 6. Running 7. Reality TV 8. Facebook 9. Being read aloud to 10. Christmas
I replaced #9 because I don't really think all that many people like McDonalds anymore, and I suddenly remembered that I really don't like being read aloud to.

Agree jimm about ocean swimming! There are THINGS in there. And then when you get out, you get all covered with wet sand.

Bloody phillistines. Surfing is a more than spiritual experience, as can be ice cold beer - though I have not indulged for some days in the latter and some months in the former. I do agree with Jimm on the others..

I love swimming in the sea but am quite picky where I do it. Won't swim here because it's too cold and water companies keep dumping sewage.
Have swum in some lovely places with clear warmish water in Mexico and Brazil.

I do like a bit of body boarding in the surf though. Not the same as unsupported swimming.

I love vegemite, sushi, ocean swimming and naps. Had a nap today, most refreshing.
I didn't put down Nazis etc because I thought list was things other people like and no sane people do. But yes, some of us live in insane places.
11. crowded places 12. gender reveal parties - even though I've never been to one.
