Things The Minister Has Learned In 2010 (Part 1)

1.  There was a reason why I liked fig rolls 25 years ago: they taste really nice.

2.  There was, however, also a reason why I stopped eating fig rolls 25 years ago.......

3.  Christmas songs sound so much better a week after all that Christmas bollocks is done - viz. Death Cab For Cutie's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).

4.  Sir James Paul McCartney is a bastard.  He plays TWO BASS NOTES AT THE SAME TIME on far too many songs.  Fuck that shit: I'm trying to learn bass precisely to avoid having to be musical - viz. John Beverley.

5.  Holy fuck: there is a better version of What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted than Jimmy Ruffin's - viz. Baby Washington:

About

The Minister is a middle-aged, middle-class, extra-large male living in the ‘Northern Home Counties’/East of England. When he has no option or excuse to do otherwise the Minister practices the dark art of the law.

The Minister prefers to write in black ink (utilising blue ink only when in a bad mood) and thinks very poorly of anyone who uses Arial font.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Minister is neither ordained nor a politician. Allegations to the contrary will be referred to the Ministry for Justice.
