So how are you?
I asked a colleague at work today how she was on a scale from 1 to 10? In order to define the scale I added, "where 1 is the Smiths and 10 is Bon Jovi!" This idea quite amused me and led to some thought about other ways of defining bad-to-good scales.
Where 1 is Marvin the Paranoid Android and 10 is Zaphod Beeblebrox
Where 1 is Semolina and 10 is Black Forest Gateaux
Where 1 is a Tank Top and 10 is a Hoody
Where 1 is Bognor Regis and 10 is Hawaii
Anyway, I need some more ideas including some that would connect with young people!

I'm sorry, but there appears to be some confusion
are you saying that bognor regis is 10 better than hawaii?
Cos using the Smiths scale that would be the result

Bognor should TOTALLY be a 10 - it rocks!

Oh yeah, just noticed I'd changed tack half way through. The Smiths and the Zaphod ones related to their outlook. The Smiths ROCK but "Heaven knows I'm miserable now!" is not the most up-beat sentiment.
But then the other were just bad to good generally although I've clearly misunderstood Bognor Regis :-)

I love the smiths, semolina and tanks tops ... maybe I should holiday in Bognor regis? :)

Clearly these are far too subjective and I've messed up on this one! Are there any universal 'bads' and universal 'goods'?

Bognor who?
