I'm not gonna lie, this is, literally, just a list of all the songs from which my hidden lyrics have been taken in all my blogs since I...

The 2022 Perth bookie car park scrum meant an unfeasibly early time to rock up, some 2 hours before pitch in and 3 1/2 hours before the...

Stress, stress, stress. New areas, decent pick. Too many potential options. Too many chances to get it wrong. 1/2 furlong marker? Well,...

Yes, yes, yes. I know, I know, I know. I have absolutely used this Cure lyrical reference before and will no doubt use it again but a)...
