Best of 2008. No arguments.

My cultural highlights of the year were probably the Saw Doctors at Cambridge, Roger Waters at the O2, Kylie (aw, bless) at the O2, Simon Day at Cambridge, Happy Go Lucky, Iron Man, Juno, There Will Be Blood, all of the great medal-winning performances at the Olympics, Ebbsfleet United winning at Wembley, England beating Croatia, Holland at the European Championships, the Wimbledon final, the end of the last Grand Prix of the season, Essex beating Kent to win the FP Trophy final at Lord’s, Cricinfo’s County Championship Fantasy Cricket, Gavin and Stacey, Outnumbered, The Apprentice, Little Dorrit (except the rubbish ending), Danny Baker on 6-0-6, Kermode and Mayo on Five Live, the TWTD Naked Football podcast, Stephen Fry’s podcasts, PhotoshopDisasters.com, b3ta, Lifehacker.com, The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics Project, The Internet Now In Handy Book Form!, Word magazine, Christian Wolmar’s Fire and Steam, John O’Farrell’s An Utterly Impartial History of Britain – Or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots In Charge, Half Man Half Biscuit’s CSI:Ambleside, Sigur Rós’s Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust and the fantastic The Promise single from Girls Aloud. Make of that what you will. Alex has just reminded me how brilliant Wall-E was too, but Dawn will never convince me that either Sex and the City or Mamma Mia! were any good, sorry.

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
