  #JukeboxFridayNight #Chance ZZ Top - Viva Las Vegas And how I wish that there were more Than twenty-four hours in the day. But even if there were forty more, I wouldn't sleep a minute away. Oh, there's blackjack and poker and a roulette wheel. A fortune won and lost on every deal. All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upIAcDXxQ_A

  #JukeboxFridayNight #Chance Couldn't start with anything else for this hashtag! Somewhat to my surprise, they'll be back in New Zealand next year! Big Country - Chance Now the skirt hangs so heavy around your head That you never knew you were young Because you played a chance with a lifetime's romance And the price was far too long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eLbI1cdg-A

  #JukeboxFridayNight #ManyColours McFly - Five Colours In Her Hair She's got a lip ring and five colours in her hair Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears Her tattoo's always hidden by her underwear She don't care Everybody wants to know her name I threw a house party and she came Everyone asked me Who the hell is she? That weirdo with five colours in her hair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h76uVRSJ5bc

  #JukeboxFridayNight #TricksOrTreats Last one for now. Almost certain it's been posted already but can't resist. Even had this as my phone ring tone for a while, somewhat to colleagues' concern! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT4FY3NrhGg

  #JukeboxFridayNight #TricksOrTreats Bit of a two-fer.

  #JukeboxFridayNight #TricksOrTreats Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then, when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stared too long, I'd probably break down and cry Woah, oh, oh Sweet child of mine Woah, oh, oh, oh Sweet love of mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w7OgIMMRc4

  #JukeboxFridayNight #TricksOrTreats @smitty@mastodon.nz reminded me of this: Operation Mincemeat - a musical about one of the biggest tricks in the history of warfare. Operation Mincemeat - Making a Man Step two, leave a trail of clues Pack a wallet with receipts so that we can prove That our Bill had a life, a man about town Who splashed his cash then drowned And they will find that he dined at The hottest joints, with the coolest cats The swinging spots with the hotsy-totsy Oh the man lik...

  #JukeboxFridayNight #TricksOrTreats Eddie Money - Magic Well, could it be magic? Or make-believe? Now I got this feeling coming over me If it's not magic that I'm feeling Then I guess it's gotta be love Maybe it's magic, I don't really know But now that I found you, I'll never let go If it's not magic that I'm feeling Baby, then it's gotta be love But it sure feels like magic to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyOTv1fDPyY

  #JukeboxFridayNight #PeaceAndCalm Frank Turner - Ceasefire I'm haunted by a ghost Who hides inside my body Raging, rattling chains Fifteen year old me He judges my decisions He scorns what I've become And the hatred that consumes me Starts and ends with him I know I'm not Everything that you had hoped and imagined that I would be But I did my best And I have seen things that you don't even know that you've never seen We need to find some common ground...

  At Hnry Stadium for first outing for our season tickets at a double header game: Wellington Phoenix women vs Melbourne City and men vs Melbourne Victory. There's a certain refreshing honesty that The Exponents' Why Does Love Always Do This To Me seems to be something of an anthem.

  Finished reading Alix E Harrow's The Everlasting, this year's winning Hugo novel, just a few minutes before joining the Adelaide Critical Mass meeting to discuss it! Really liked it, very cleverly done, although I still think I preferred Robert Jackson Bennett's A Drop Of Corruption.

  Flying to Nelson for Long Weekend geocaching event. Suspect I am about to travel in the smallest aircraft I have ever taken for a scheduled flight (or which I expect to land in)! No allocated seating either!
