In my previous entry I promised some action this day. I also mentioned my record collection. As you may have gathered from previous not so subtle hints I’ve been reading Nick Hornby books recently. As you would know if you’ve read High Fidelity (one of my top ten books), making lists is a bit of …

Diversion
I’m at home sick. So rather than come up with anything witty I will re-direct you to Bunny Boilers.com. Arse spankingly funny, in a "there but for the grace of God go I" kind of way. [Courtesy of Ben Hammersley]. Normal service should be resumed tomorrow.

Please feel free to ignore this entry if all you want to hear about is the contents of my music collection. The heroes : Waratahs 34 – Crusaders 31. Take that Templeton. The zeroes : Manly 12 – Wests Tigers 38. Dear, oh dear oh dear.

Losing to North Queensland is bad enough, next thing we know they will be struggling against schoolboy teams. The only reassurance I take from this latest episode …

Some of you may remember my requests for a list of rock songs last year. If you do, congratulations for paying attention. At the time I wondered why Mr Buck was asking me for a list of thirty one tunes. Well, now all is revealed, as I spotted Nick Hornby’s latest book in the shop …
