Field Theory: Great game of netball or…,
Hi Hadyn, maybe the greatest game of netball ever - gold medal match, scores tied, extra time, seesawing fortunes, big crowd. But i think 'netball' without the hashtag gave a better and more interesting twitter feed of the match.

Busytown: I believe in miracles,
A really really wonderful post. And the Frankenstein reference was very fitting given Alaska's proximity to the Arctic.

There's a brilliant book to be written by a McCain campaign insider. I live in hope.

Island Life: We have ways of making you torque,
Thanks David. I've always wanted to know what the words meant. This was the song that introduced me to stereo when I heard it on a Honolulu FM station in the late 70s. I still love it after all these years. It's a magnificent tune. I used to make the lyrics up - going fast, fast, fast on the autobahn. Buffalo Daughter do a nice faithful version on a Japanese CD compilation to Kraftwerk called Radioactivity.

Field Theory: The Home Straight,
