My eldest son asked me the other day something I regard as the impossible question...
"What's your favourite song of all time?"
How on earth do you answer that unless you are one of these people who thinks Adele or some cover 'artist' from X Factor is the best singer in the history of time?

Who says the sun doesn't shine on the righteous? Firstly, I managed to play in a cricket match where it stayed dry until the close of play, a game where some wild flaying of the willow in attempt to push our score towards the target of 199 ended on season high score of ...
