Guilty Pleasures, part 2It's been a while since we last asked this question and CaptainFellatioNelson's confession that he likes "to fart under the duvet, creep in and see how long I can last only on the fart air contained within" reminded us just how good it was last time.
What are the little things you do for fun when nobody else is around?

@happylittletulip ... Ahem?Nothing wrong with social housing, I earn over £27k / year and we don't claim a penny ... however we are in the process of getting social housing. Why? Because under Gordon Brown (now Alistair Darling)'s economy I cannot afford a mortgage (nor want one at ludicrous% APR) and renting privately gives us a) no housing security b) no opportunity to at least pretend to own our own home c) no opportunity for DIY or home improvements. And yes, if the chimney falls through the ceiling, or the toilet blocks up due to the council doing no maintenance for ten years, or the carpet needs replacing because it is now so thin the floorboards are showing through, to be honest for the price of the rent (£300 / mth) plus the £110 / month I contribute to council coffers (plus £650 / month tax/NI) - a total outlay of £1060.00 - I expect it to be fixed. Pronto.
Try living it, happylittletulip, before you criticise it.
