Top ten for 2005

December 12, 2005

Dear Sir,

Here are my top ten PLP moves of the year (some may stretch back a bit):

10. Prince Andrew?s ?300 houses in 30 years? comment ? well, at least they realised that it didn?t require a correction.

9. Berkeley refurbishment ? At the rate this is going, Boston?s Big Dig numbers are coming into focus.

8. The new Bus Terminal ? Havana Central Depot.

7. Cricket?s $11 million gift ? Michael Sims, Shaun Goater, David Bascome, Peter Bromby, Patrick Singleton, Teresa Perozzi ... here?s $50 ... split it!

6. New Customs forms ? Are you carrying firearms, ammo, pornography, endangered species, radioactive material? These are real questions on that form.

5. Independence ? Hey, Alex, we?ll give you North Rock and you can be the King.

4. Tony Brannon e-mail - ?Oh, c**p, where did that damn thing go ...?

3. Burch Talk Show ? Howard Stern ain?t got nothing on Davey.

2. Gina Spence ? The fear of a strong woman will overcome the intellect of weak men.

1. Colonel Burch?s ?House n***ers? comment ? The face of the PLP shows itself ... polarise and conquer ...

Remember the yard dogs
