You are here.
Back in 2009 when I used to write much more frequently than I do now I had a “series” of what you’d probably now call “listicles”, detailing various of my Top Ten things. It’s a nice easy excuse/format to get a post together, and in some cases makes for some useful Googlejuice*. One of them…
A recent discussion on Facebook with an old chum of mine from Australia saw him asking me what my favourite musicals are – so the downside of being asked a question like that is I can’t help but feel compelled to come up with a considered answer. In 1989 or thereabouts I was introduced to…
This came across Facebook in a note entitled “25 Songs You Can’t Live Without”, and I figured there was no point in writing it up when there was a perfect opportunity to score a free blog post out of it. So, here it it: Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to write down…
Yes, I know today’s Friday. This may be in part inspired by my recent-ish reunions with former Torrens Park Cub Pack alumni Ben Glazier, Jeremy Cochran, and via t’internet, Alex Brooks. Or maybe it’s the product of a mind desperately searching for stuff to make lists of. In any case – here’s a list of…
Possibly the finest Top Ten I’ve ever assembled. It’s bewilderingly good.
This is largely inspired by last night’s gig, Ade Edmonson & The Bad Shepherds – I turned to The Puzzler and said “How far do you reckon that distance is between me & Ade?”, and he said “About 50 feet?”. And almost instantly I came up with this list. And technically it was before midnight, so it’s still a Tuesday list. Alphabetical order, sort of.
With the 40th anniversary of Monty Python’s Flying Circus happening this week, and prompted by having spotted another similar list, I thought maybe I’d apply my brain power to the topic of which are my favourite Python sketches (thereby resulting in a far superior list). By “sketch”, I’ve sort of included pieces from the movies,…
An attempt at a list of my top ten pubs. In London, I mean. I think it was closer to twelve. Unless you count the other 20 or so listed at the bottom. Oh boy, this is tricky.
What? Where’d this idea come from? Oh well… here goes anyway… I guess it’s worth stating that it’s the top ten from my perspective – if any audiences thought differently they’re more than welcome to keep it to themselves. So, in no particular order, but definitely the top 10: Don’t Worry, Be Happy – Flinders…
When I say “whisky” (for anyone not 100% clear on this), I mean Single Malt Scotch Whisky – not Bourbon, or Irish whiskey, or blended whiskey, or any of the other things that go by a similar name. Whisky is something which has brought me many new experiences ever since first tasting it in around…
