The Five Things thing (from oursin, among others):
Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things. (Assuming that I have a top five, or even any five, of the thing in question.)

Bookshops

[sam-t.livejournal.com]

1. Any second-hand bookshop of reasonable size, discovered unexpectedly
2. The three second-hand bookshops in Robin Hood's Bay (counted together)
3. Barter Books, Alnwick
4. Any bookshop with more than two large floors, preferably in a university town
5. Library booksales (stretching the definition a bit, there)

I'll gack that from you yet, watch my space!

To fix the irreparable invalid markup, replace the hyphen between 'lj' and 'user' with a space. I'm always doing that too.

I'd like your top five snacks :-)

[sam-t.livejournal.com]

Thanks, that'll teach me to post and run away!

(In no particular order, because it depends on the occasion):
Cream crackers with butter, salt and chilli powder
Toast with home-made raspberry jam
Salt and black pepper crisps
Chips with salt
Cornflakes

Top five things people compliment you on!

[sam-t.livejournal.com]

Er, that's actually quite tricky! I'm not very good at compliments.

My eyes
My cooking (when I do manage to cook something properly)
... ?

I'm going to have to think about this!
