This may interest you, scare you, offend you, make you laugh or make you feel pity for me - tell me what you think. <br /> <br />To start though - a fairly non-offensive post... <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wine</span> - I LOVE it!! <br />What I am drinking at the moment (well, not right now as it is only 9.am and I make it a habit not to pop the cork until at least 10.30am) - I belong to the NZ Wine Society so always have an interesting selection of NZ and overseas wines at hand. <br />The next bottle to be opened will be: <br /><span style="font-style: italic;">2003 Family Block, Crosse Vineyard, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.</span> <br />Apparently it has "grassy, tropical characters complemented by delicious mineral nuances" - stay tuned for my poorly informed, highly biased and generally worthless opinion! <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Women</span> - I LOVE them!! <br />Although HAPPILY married to a very beautiful women I still find time to admire the scenery, and there is no shortage of beautiful women in New Zealand. I used to feel guilty for "people watching" (otherwise known as Perving) until I read something that John Gray wrote in his book "<span style="font-style: italic;">Mars and Venus in the Bedroom</span>". It goes something like this: <br /> <br />"It is important for women to understand that men are first attracted to a woman visually. A man sees a beautiful woman and <span style="font-style: italic;">instinctively</span> wants to look at her body...A woman needs to accept a man's natural visual appreciation of other women" <br /> <br />GO JOHN!! - Tell it like it is Brother!! <br />There is plenty more where that came from - stay tuned... <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Song</span>- Music rocks and NZ music is really coming of age. Thanks to increased air-time Kiwi's appear to be waking up to the fact NZ produces music from people other than just the Finn brothers and Dave Dobbyn - about bloody time!! <br /> <br />My music tastes are diverse to say the least. They change depending on the weather, my mood, my age and whatever my wife wants to listen to :-) <br />My Fav NZ album today is <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">One Drop East</span></span> from <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Salmonella Dub</span></span>. It is an amazing album which I listen to over and over again and if you haven't already listened to it - BUY IT NOW!! (is that subliminal enough for ya?) <br /> <br />I can't talk about music without mentioning how excited I am about the release of U2's latest instalment which hits the shops on Monday - YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!! <br />U2 are my favourite band of all time and I will rave about them more later.. <br /> <br />Well - thats a good start I reckon - Tell me what you think... <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9226086-110080825402110373?l=wwands.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16208542021440499501noreply@blogger.com0
