linniekin tagged me to tell you my top 10 songs of all time. Here goes, complete with very naughty links for a few of them.

1. And I Think Of You - E Penso A Te - Tanita Tikaram
   Slightly odd that from my favouritre singer songwriter I pick a song she didn’t write herself.
2. Antmusic - Adam & The Ants
3. Born Depressed - Drill Queen
   Playing this Thursday, I may try to be there depending on this and that.
4. Ever Fallen In Love? - Buzzcocks
5. Londinium - Catatonia
   Considering my current job, this is a slightly subversive choice, especially when played with Storm The Palace.
6. Mis-Shapes - Pulp
7. Misterioso - Thelonious Monk
8. My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors - Moxy Früvous
9. Seed Song - Cerys Matthews
   Yes, it’s twee but it’s my favourite song of last year.
10. Tweeter and the Monkey Man - The Traveling Wilburys
    A top ten consisting entirely of Wilburys tracks was a serious possibility.

( That big 'Everything Meme' that everyone's doing this week )

Some definite US-bias in the questions and clearly something is borked with the Socioeconmic section unless everyone taking the test is a lot richer than the the US average.

…Dinosaurs

As tagged by snapesbabe. Post a comment with “top ten” or “top five” and I’ll give you a subject to base your list around.

1. Stegosaurus

   Maybe because we start our names with the same three letters but I’ve always liked Steggy. One of the classic dinos that all the kids know, and one of the most fantastically strange looking creatures to ever walk on land.

   

2. Allosaurus

   A big mean predator, not as unbalanced to look at as T.rex but still big enough and toothy enough to give you nightmares.

3. Brachiosaurus

   Of Lofty as we call him round our way. Not only is it one of the biggest dinos but it’s also unusual in having longer legs at the front than at the back (hence the name).

4. Anklyosaurus

   Walking tank. My default user icon.

5. Deinonychus

   Velociraptor : Deinonychus = Hobbit : Human

You scored as Sgt. Benton. You are Sgt. Benton! Calm, fixed, resolute: for being such a nice person you have a bit of cynicism that you keep hidden. It helps you sort out the good from the bad when you deal with people. Not easily fooled by mere charm or facade, you are, all the same, a simple soul. You long for love but don’t quite comprehend romance. you recognize that a stable home, longterm friendships, and trust and respect are the foundations of a happy life.

So, my attempt at the From The Stacks Winter Reading Challenge came close but just failed, I fell asleep last night with just twenty pages of my last book to go (I would like to assure people that the falling asleep was entirely down to a twelve hour day in the office and nothing to do with Tom Baker’ writing).

And I haven’t written any reviews yet either. But I’m off work most of next week so we’ll see what we get done.

This popped up on my Word Press dashboard today: Web 2.0 or Star Wars. I got 35 out of 43. Not sure which side of my geekery helped the most.

Yesterday was the office Christmas party. A 1940s themed affair (though Jez and Nick missed by a few decades). I had fun but a sixth sense told me to head home fairly early (was the free booze about to run out?), but other people have tales to tell and hangovers to nurse.

Little did the revellers at The Pigalle Club realise that one of their number was a slumming aristrocrat:

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:
The Most Honourable Steve the Deipnosophist of Throcking by Hampton
Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

Yep, I had to look it up as well.
