Phobias
What gives you the heebie-jeebies?
It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*
Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

The Daily Mail
Everyday, walking to the newstand I can't help but wonder what section of society it will make today's scapegoat - the working class, the mentally ill, immigrants, refugees from war-torn countries. And then wonder what figures it will pull out of its arse to try and justify that. Stuff like counting everyone that came here on holiday as immigrants. Or counting every working member of the country that legally claims child benefit as a benefit scounger.
What's scary about it is that someone might pick it up and take it seriously.

My in laws
(well they will be my in laws eventually) buy the Daily Mail. I like to read it round at there house. It's a like an anger sauna. I get so ferociously wound up over the rancid bile that gets printed as "news" that it leaves me calm and collected when I have to endure GMTV in the morning.

It is good to have a copy in the house.
Three reasons.
First, the TV coverage on Saturday is OK.
Second, you can use it to light a fire.
Third, it is a handy first-aid aid in case of low blood pressure. Three sentences in to any article, and presto! 220/140, pulse 110, sweating, palpitations.
(Oh, and I just *love* the phrase "anger sauna". Genius.)
