  1. Northern Soul dancing (nope, no idea, except I can't do it)
  2. Mirror glaze cake decorating (like mindfulness - but with icing!)
  3. The Voice/La Belle Voix: France - blind auditions (so so moody)
  4. Sharon Ann Anti-aging (I love her, I believe her)
  5. X Factor/The Voice Australia auditions (just quality)
  6. Women's gymnastics (I'm the most unbendy person ever)
  7. Women's gymnastic epic falls (I'm also menopausal)
  8. Christian the Lion with the Aerosmith song (sometimes you just need a big cat and a big cry - I have to ration this)
  9. Ferries in stormy seas (really, there's something wrong with me)
10. Dr Sandra Lee (if you don't know, I'm not explaining)

KurriKurri · 06/09/2019 18:23

Jimmy Fallon - Kids Theatre is very funny, and I like the school instrument songs, and for some reason I find the 'Come Dance With Us' sketches he does with Jennifer Lawrence really funny.

Sandra Lee obviously, and anything about people extracting sea urchin spines. The Toe Bro is also good but you need a strong stomach for some of it.

Swing Dance competitons and Exhibitions - I love Chanzie and Stephen - she is just the most amazing dancer.

Ice Skating and gymnastics.
.
Dr Phil - especially the really weird guests.

And lots of craft things (knitting and making dolls house furniture/accessories mainly)
And lots of gardening ones on garden design, making the most of small spaces etc.

KurriKurri · 06/09/2019 18:25

Oh and watching the karaoke versions of all my favourite and singing along (I told my DD I did this and she said 'please don't tell me this kind of stuff - I don't need to know how weird you are Grin)

EmptyOrchestra · 06/09/2019 18:34

Beautiful men singing... Today it’s Jonathan Groff.

It’s better than porn.

Outsomnia · 06/09/2019 19:06

Everyone has different tastes, but you can be drawn down a YouTube rabbit hole without even realising it!

For foodies, and those who like looking at how other countries do things differently to us here in UK, I am hooked on wocomoCOOK.

Once you watch one episode, it is addiction after that. Well for me anyway!

IScreamForIceCreams · 06/09/2019 19:11

@Belldan1 De Toppers! You must be based in NL, surely!

Vintagevixen · 06/09/2019 19:13

Dog and cat rescue videos, love it when they're all cleaned up and happy at the end.

Vintagevixen · 06/09/2019 19:15

Ohh and video/audio of rain falling on leaves really helps me relax and sleep.

QueenOfPain · 06/09/2019 23:31

Ohh, another low key fave is Sky Fly Girl (Russian emirates cabin crew), her voice is so gentle and soothing, but she isn’t even trying. She’s just got a lovely warm way about her.

QueenOfPain · 06/09/2019 23:36

@DameXanaduBramble Agreed, it is truly great. Sometimes the only thing that can help me switch my head off for sleep.

And I was about four or five when I first felt it, always triggered by getting my hair plaited or played with, then as I got older it would be random things like talking to a really efficient call centre person on the phone, or certain other noises. Then I discovered what we now call ASMR and all the videos and I am so pleased about it.

It is magical.

HomerDancing · 06/09/2019 23:37
