– A Dan Carter conversion straight out of Sensing Murder
– I’m listening to CCR lately. If you haven’t heard Ramble Tamble. Have a listen, it’s the most rockin’ song of all time, don’t you know.

Manchester City News – the more I watch this, the more hilarious it becomes. And the more I worry about my lack of humour development since age 12
Sportsfreak on Michael Hussey – they’re right, you know, he’s boring his way into history
Stephen Fry’s Dork Talk – everyone’s fav foppish wordsmith is a Mac guy, and he’s writing a gadget review column for the Guardian. Who would have thought?
Norman Mailer fight – here’s a bizarre scene from his improvisational movie Maidstone where Rip Torn decides to take artistic direction into his own hands. Mailer died this week

Sorry, team – blog motivation is low at the moment. I’ve got a good mind to get my other one going again…

Sebastian Chabal steals a dog’s lunch – magic. Why is the dog called ‘Springboks’ though?
