Well I won't.
I'm speaking personally, of course, but this fills me with an overwhelming, teeth-grinding boredom, and a desperate sense of futility. I'm not bitter from exclusion, as I've had nothing in the time-frame to qualify, and I don't begrudge anyone whatever satisfaction this stupid circus may afford them. But good grief, how depressing. What a lot of horse-shit. What meaningless tripe. What a colossal waste of time.

I once won an archery prize in year 8 for hitting a bullseye first time. What a happy day....

I made a clean sweep at indoor cricket last season, won the grand final, also won best batsman, best bowler, and best player in the division. I don't have room for a bell on my shelf.
The 'Sweet Lowdowns' album is really great, and has some great swinging little originals in between all the beautiful standards they play. A real gem of an album, considering 3 of the 4 members have full time non-music jobs. Congrats to those guys!

I just realized, shouldn't it be Honda Jazz? Makes more sense.

Guts, you can normally fit more than that into 12 seconds.

Being just a humble punter, Tim Stevens could you please specify what it is about the awards that causes you such angst?
