As I said on my other blog:

And the Michael Cole Award* for most boorish behaviour by a visiting celebrity involving a bottle of liquor goes to Johnny Knoxville. In other ARIA Awards news, didn’t Queenslanders Bernard Fanning, The Veronicas and Troy Cassar-Daley do well? I thought it interesting, though, that the two awards based on actual record sales went to industry “outsiders” (i.e. people who don’t fit the image that the music biz likes to present and don’t get played a lot on mainstream radio) - dance act TV Rock featuring Seany B (biggest-selling single) and reborn boy band Human Nature (biggest-selling album)..

* Michael Cole was the star of The Mod Squad who, in a tired and emotional state, swore during the Logies telecast in 1973.

I don't like mucking about when I go to the shops. I'm not one of those people who, on his death bed, will say, "I wish I'd spent more time clothes shopping." OK, so I'm not a fashion plate, but I am efficient. Yesterday, I bought two pairs of shoes in approximately seven minutes. The shoes are basic black work shoes and the two pairs are identical. Why? Because, in the past when I've found something that's comfortable I've never been able to find another pair. In this day and age, you're lucky if you can find the same brand twice.
