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
Top Ten Tuesday revisited: Whisky
Top Ten Tuesday: Musicals
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
The Facebook Top 25 songs meme: it’s not quite a top ten, but it’ll do
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.
Top Ten Tuesday: Songs we used to sing at campfires in Cubs & Scouts

Top Ten Tuesday: Pubs in London
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.
Top Ten Tuesday: Things I’ve performed in front of a crowd
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,
Top Ten Tuesday: Whisky
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
