Andrew O’Neill: Rocker and part time union card-carrying transvestite Andrew O’Neill turned up at a benefit gig in King’s Cross recently that Dancing Dave, Housemate James & I went to.  Good mix of one-liners, non-sequitirs, and generally pretty sharp material.  Will definitely go check him out again I think — maybe wouldn’t put him at number 1 in a top ten, but it’s alphabetical, so get off my case (OK, so I’m clearly covering here for the fact I can’t remember a thing the guy said other than I found …

Having super powers is just the best thing ever.  Well, it would be, I guess.  I’m told that I possess the actual super power of being able to innately introduce complication to journeys, and I’ve always suspected I’ve got some kind of time dilation field following me around…  but for the sake of this week’s Top Ten I figured I’d list 10 super powers which I’d like to have.

1. It’s a real shame that torsopants.com didn’t pull through and got absorbed into it’s much ruder mothership, tshirthell.com.  I mean, they still make funny shirts, but one feels ever so slightly nervous wearing them in public.
2. This one’s a bit of an in-joke for viewers of the awesome, awesome American sit-com, 30 Rock.  On the back it bears the claim “Not polluting rivers …

Though the aftermath from Saturday night has me shaking slightly at the idea of doing a beer top ten, it’s as good a topic to tackle as any…  It’s an extremely tough call, as always, and I can’t wait to read the email protests of “Wait a minute, what about [X]??”.

Little Creatures Pale Ale: 5.2% fruity, zesty pale ale, brewed at one of my favourite places in the world: Fremantle, Western Australia.  Added to this, the brewery’s one of my favourite places in the world to chill out, and I’ve …
