I know what you mean Phil - I left the ones I didn't know out in previous threads :)

1. Football (i.e. Association Football) or cricket? Football - def! :)
2. Labour or Tory? I hate all forms of politics
3. Red Dwarf or Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy? Red Dwarf rocks!!! :) ( But started to go downhill by series 7)
4. Corn flakes or Shreddies? Give me Crunchy Nut Cornflakes any day
5. Snickers or Marathon? Well, I don't like chocolate with nuts, so :)
6. Will or Gareth? Hmm, I prefer Will beacuse Garath is too 'poppy'. I loved when he sang 'Name of the Game' and 'Til You Come Back To Me' on the show. But at the end I wanted Garath to win Pop Idol - beacuse that's what he is, and Will isn't. If you understand my logic!
7. The Sun or The Times? The Sun is just plain funny ( there's a nice sarcy comment in my article about the Sun if any of you remember :) )
8. Owen or Beckham? Owen for sure.
9. Monty Python's Flying Circus or Fawlty Towers? Fawtly Towers is the best comedy ever IMHO. I could watch the Germans, The Deaf Woman and The Rat episodes every day and not get bored :)
10. Real ale or lager? Don't drink that stuff :)
11. Four weddings or two smoking barrels? Hmm, I enjoyed both, but in different ways
12. Oasis or Blur (I'm showing my age, here) Oasis, but I do like a lot of Blurs stuff
