Well, it's the last Thursday blog of 2005, and I've clearly run out of ideas. Enjoy this cobbled-together collection of bullet points, enjoy the last few days of 2005, and have a cracking New Year's Eve. I shall return in the New Year with a few new ideas (not radically different from what I'm doing now)...
Five of the best MSN names:
"Never argue with an idiot.
They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience"
"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.
If you can fake that, you've got it made."
"Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example"
"If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?"
"To the world you are just one person, but to one person you may be the world"
Best TV:
Doctor Who
Five of the best singles:
The Go! Team - 'Everyone's A VIP To Someone'
Hot Hot Heat - 'Middle Of Nowhere'
Gorillaz - 'Dare'
Doves - 'Black And White Town'
Maxïmo Park - 'The Coast Is Always Changing'
Best to keep quiet:
Katrina & The Waves
Five of the best lyrics:
"I am a dark horse/But I keep it to myself" - My Computer - 'Life'
"Blood runs through your veins/That's where our similarity ends" Editors - 'Blood'
"We're the stars of CCTV/Can't you see the camera loves me?" Hard-Fi - 'Stars Of CCTV'
"I am not an acrobat/I cannot perform these tricks for you" Maxïmo Park - 'Acrobat'
"Thank you for waiting/While I stopped creating/It's long overdue/So here's something new" Osymyso - 'Something New'

Five of the best albums:
The Go! Team - "Thunder, Lightning, Strike"
Maxïmo Park - "A Certain Trigger"

...and several more albums that I wanted to put in the list above:

Hard-Fi - "Stars of CCTV" (released in 2004)
Franz Ferdinand - "You Could Have It So Much Better"
Gorillaz - "Demon Days"
Hot Hot Heat - "Elevator"
The Bravery - "The Bravery"

Fire extinguishers & air fresheners
Five bands I should like but don't:
Queen
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
The Arctic Monkeys
The Darkness
And finally...
"I used to be an atheist. Now I recognise I'm God."
