Expert blogging tip #435: If you don’t have anything worth saying, just create a random top 10 list. If you really are running low on inspiration, make it a top five list that only has four items in it.

3. A U2 Album

4. A Coat

4. A U2 album
but I am a Christian!
5. A plane ticket to New Zealand
but I wish I could!

Cheesepal.
Thanks Liz, I’ve never bought anything on your list either.
Michael, when the venerable Professor finally publishes a book, I will be first in line to get a signed copy. As for the spelling mistake, … oops, I was clearly too focussed on working out whether “fullness” had one or two ‘l’s
