Overrated books? Well I'm glad to see Netherland didn't make it onto this list.

The True History of the Kelly Gang
Not sure how Peter Carey got overlooked. Also a few other favourites…

Manstion?
Surely more of a manquiry.

I always preferred Arthur, probably because he was an Andersen. I hate those Andersons.

I'm just impressed she can lay an egg with her mouth

Teadoust has a good point. I'll go to watch a football match even if my team isn't that good, so who am I to cast judgement? Likewise, my wife will watch New Moon, even though she'll readily admit the books are poorly written but weirdly captivating, in a mindlessly entertaining sort of way. I saw Twilight and really…

Because you will keep saying to yourself just one more match, until you realise it's 6am and you have to be at work in 3 hours. And then you'll do exactly the same thing the following night. You can also spend hours in the transfer market or just fine tuning your tactics. It sounds terrible on paper, but in practice…

Husker Du
Not a song, admittedly, but in Norwegian (and probably Swedish as well) this means: Do you remember?

Ah Kylie, God bless her. Never bought the single because I was always more of an album man myself. This, and Vanessa Paradis's Joe Le Taxi, were a fine introduction to French.

Football Manager
If you're into football (soccer) this game will eat months out of your life…. And it's worth every minute, until your team doesn't get that promotion/qualify for Europe etc… Then it hurts like nothing else. No game has ever captivated me like Football Manager.

A good egg

Not necessarily the best of the decade, but I loved these from the first time I heard them and they've got staying power:

For what it's worth
I like the list, but don't think these would look too out of place either:

Are we going to have a list for the best songs of the decade? I would like that.

Kleenex
Haven't seen the advert, but shouldn't it be pitching itself to the adolescent masturbation market?

My cousin got niece-three-times-removed'd. He is half Greek though…

IRA bombs
'When the IRA was bombing all over England, people just kind of figured out that it wasn't actually that risky, and they went through their daily lives.'

To quote the immortal Wooderson from Dazed and Confused: 'That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.'
