Yip, I use last.fm for the stats - it keeps track of my itunes listening, so I can logon each month and get really disturbed at just how much Harry Nilsson I actually listen to.
Re: vinyl - MP3, like everyone else, I consider my collection chocka of unique and beautiful snowflakes. I was thinking about getting one of
these, and flogging it back on TradeMe once I was done. -
Had a quick go @ the weekend - apart from not recognising the Beatles, it seems... OK. I still reckon I can make better play lists though.
I listen to my Ipod @ work and on the bus etc, and play more CDs and vinyl @ home - I like having the time to listen to whole albums. I do last.fm too: http://www.last.fm/user/richirvine73.
BTW - has anyone found a workabel way to rip vinyl to MP3?

Hadyn, that Covenrty kit is by Admiral - I think they're British, they do a load of football kits and the England cricket team until recently.
And it's deep chocolate brown...

This is going to turn into crappy uniform Friday, isn't it? Here's two football shockers from Celtic and Arsenal.
Here's one that's widely labelled sh*t, but I reckon is actually pretty classy - Coventry away (hope those links work - I have troule with the PAS code also).
And WHAT is going on at Canterbury, I reckon their designer should be drug tested, pronto.

Jose was outside having a smoke and Jules was in the kitchen getting a hotdog.
There's good blog post in missing vital sports moments. I missed Mike Tyson biting Holyfield 'cos I was in the loo, for example. Hearing the excitement going on down the hall I almost had a nasty accident trying to... rush things.
And (apologies Hadyn), the level of excitement generated over HALF TIME is a good example of why I find most US sport utterly baffling. NOTHING sporting can be made better by adding the gang from Friends.

Are you in a vindictive mood this afternoon RI?
I'm a Spurs fan, it's spelt M-A-S-O-C-H-I-S-T-I-C.

Holy crap - that TOFFS site has an 82 All Whites shirt!
This one is still the bizzo, though.
1. The Bobby Moore special for some weekend beatboy action.
I really like the away version of that - I did a version of it for one of me indoor football teams...

Makes me want to cry.
That's not even the worst - remember this? (I had one of these, ashamedly).
The new ones are truely crap. I went on holiday to the UK a coupla years ago, fully intending to buy a new spurs shirt, but when I actually got my mitts on one, they seemed woeful and low-quality. Didn't bother in the end. I'd like to get a nice retro one, like a 81 or a 91.

You've missed the most iconic NZ uniform of them all - the black singlet.
Uniforms have been slowly ruined by sponsors and marketing budgets - if you've got a whole lot of cash to spend with Nike or Adidas for a new shirt, the execs are going to want their moneys' worth, right? That Otago one is a case in point.
English Football suffers terribly in this. take my team (and Leg Break's), Tottenham. Compare this to this.

I hate Kevin Roberts for getting involved with the All Blacks, and saying most New Zealanders (he's from the North of England) would rather win the Tri-Nations than the World Cup.
Muppet.
He's fun to take the piss out of, though.
