    Nice list – very well structured, and the design is excellent. The bracketed sections in the ‘drinking’ list were particularly helpful. Where did you get the idea for such an excellent list?

    I like the new Killers album a lot on the first few listens – more than I was expecting. I will have to wait a bit to see if it has lasting appeal though!

quote of the moment

“In fact, it may be discovered that the true veins of wealth are purple - and not in Rock, but in Flesh - perhaps even that the final outcome and consummation of all wealth is in the producing as many as possible full-breathed, bright-eyed, and happy-hearted human creatures. Our modern wealth, I think, has rather a tendency the other way".

John Ruskin

Unto This Last, 1860
