Music, sleep, creative endeavours of any kind, laying awake at night wondering what could be making that strange clicking noise, Apple, crossing the line and realising what I've done after it's too late to turn back, cheese, The Brown Household, The Bastard Ranch, herbal tea, the amazing adventures of Ol' Dirty Norgate, scuba masks, Jake, other men with grey hair in their beards, doing The Metal Dance whilst sniffing a bag of coffee, The Hammer Step, DJ's T-Bone and G-Brisket (that's a tasty brisket), the Banjo machine gun, toilet rock, bucket o' soup, people who make regular use of the phrase 'Slap me some skin, Brudda', beat poets, the Semi-Annual Bastard Ranch Rounders Tournament, The Kroeger, woofy-woofy, no-frills conversation, Valentino's, inappropriate dancing, ugly love, takin' it sleazy, late night Sev runs, Skanky Cross, two strips of bacon, The Man-Choir, prison yard harmonica solos, workplace origami, the double-buff, The BSB, people who don't think they're funny but are, in actual fact, hilarious.
