Not going to bore you with every track, but a couple of gin and tonics in and I'm in a mood of The Go-Betweens and Lloyd Cole and Stereophonics and The Waterboys and then later probably some Simply Red, Roxy Music and then a period of Mazzy Star when the gin properly kicks in with its apparently depressive traits.

And if all goes well, there will be a boogie with Duran Duran at some point

So some years ago this crystal fish took a dive off the shelf it was sitting on when Fat Freddy's Drop, Bohannon was playing at level 11 with much vibration of the house, on the living room stereo, breaking its tail, you can see the repair there, and there was some unhappiness from @gabba.

I don't know, something about precious dust catchers, family heirlooms.

Now I'm only allowed to play Bohannon at level 7 and only in my man cave.

Tonight the family decided we are trying the new Taco / Burger place that has opened up nearby. I got a message on Facebook Messenger asking me what I wanted to order while, indulging in .

On the menu, and I shit you not, there is a $27 burger. Homemade Beef Pattie, Cheese, Braised Beef, Corn Chips, Onions, Coriander, Green Sauce and Side of Consomme dip.

FOR 27 FREAKIN AOTEAROA DOLLARS

I have ordered it just to see what a takeaway $27 burger looks like.
