List
Inspired by an absent friend, here's a list of things I used to not like but that I do like now (in no particular order).
1. Vegetables.
I love them now, both for their taste and goodness.
2. Running.
I used to do it every now and then but never got into it, but recently I've 'seen the light' and really enjoy it (when I go, which is rarely nowadays).
3. Girls.
Ok, I'm talking a long time ago when I was a little boy in primary school and I used to scrunch up my face and go "YUK!" when my mum asked if I had a girlfriend.
4. The news.
In particular 'Newsnight'. Admittedly I watch mainly for the arguments between Paxman and the politicians, but I also enjoy the 'Brass Eye' style the BBC have adopted recently, as well as the way the bod in the studio interviews the bod out on location: it's a weird conceit to adopt to describe what's going on, and it's utterly ridiculous! The bloody newsy losers!!
5. Football.
I used to HATE football, and I still DETEST everything associated with it... except for 'Match of the day'. I enjoy seeing all the goals, especially those scored by Terry Henry (the Arsenal) and Mickey Rooney (Man U) because they're excellent. I also enjoy the post-match analysis offered by the old-timers in the studio.
6. Beer.
I was never much of a drinker, even during my university years. I tried a few times, but I just felt poorly so tended to stick to R-Whites. However, what with having a stressful job and being miserable and cross most of the time, I've taken to having the odd Guinness every now and then/every night. It's ok though: Guinness is good for you.
7. Spinach.
Man, why didn't I love this when I was a kid - it's lush!! (It's a vegetable isn't it, so it should be under '1' I suppose, but it's so delicious it deserves its own listing).
8. Doing nothing.
Ah, how I wish I had all that time to do nothing with like I used to.
9. Getting up early.
Not stupid early, but before 10am. I used to sleep till 1pm but now I struggle to get past 9am and actually it's quite good at that time of day, especially Saturdays because 'Dick and Dom' is on.
10. Computers.
I used to be all 'boring, rubbish, huh' with computers, but now I'm all 'cool, easy, nice'. White Apple ones in particular. Oh, and they put bread on my table.
