How would I get it to you?
Leave it by an open window to cool. It's how us bears usually get our food. And once I've eaten it I can tell you what a wonderful cook you are to make things better. (Kicks himself for being such a softy)
Okay then.
Love
Bagpuss and other Smallfilms
Bateman's XXX
Dolphins bow-riding
Field guides and the sense of satisfaction I get from identifying something (or indeed anything)
Gannets in flight over the ocean
The poems of A E Housman
Iris De Ment singing Our Town (gets me every time)
Mashed potato with unhealthy amounts of butter
Skinnysnorkelling
Studio Ghibli
Hate
'Art' that requires an explanation before I can appreciate it
Bogofs (I am not going to buy what I don't need and I refuse to pay twice as much as anyone else)
Brocolli (I may have mentioned this elsewhere)
Bullies (but I quite like cads)
Cherry brandy (all other alcoholic beverages are acceptable)
Cigarettes (but I don't mind pipes and have been known to puff on a cigar)
Formula One and other forms of noise pollution
Make-up (particularly when applied with a palate knife)
Motorists who make excessive use of the horn (on the rare occasions I feel compelled to use the thing, by the time I have remembered where to find it the moment has passed)
Rap and associated musical forms

Definitely. Unless it's rap.
Jack Lemon in almost anything.
I saw The Apartment last night at the BFI. Fantastic way to discover a gem that I had somehow previously escaped seeing.

OOo, should have been on my love list. Perhaps not in the top 10 though...
I misread that as Royle Family; thought it seemed a bit harsh. But yes, Royal family, I am with you all the way on that one.
God I hate the Royles.
