As I sit here between two of my lesser favorite books, contemplating which would be the most enjoyable not to read, I realize that this new word, Nambucca, is one beyond my prior recolections. But whatever it is, it is certainly more interesting than my alternatives. So I wish you chlaps some sincere, if less than sober luck, and I wish it were in my abilities to be there.
Bottoms up to my favorite noisemakers,

I just listened to the XFM session and I very much enjoyed it. Hearing all your London accents always gets me. It reminded me of the last radio session you did with that song about not doing something but saying you did. Where has that gone? And, yes, the XFM session of Buckle Up.. is sick.

I also have just noticed the 'leisure wear' line and it also has made me laugh. Well done.
