The obnoxious, malicious glee with which I greeted our recent cricketing success over the Aussies is probably very small-minded and mean-spirited. But I don't care. Even slightly. Serves you right, you skitey buggers, as my Grandad might say.

Other discovery of the day: an Italian version of Gene Pitney's 'A Town Without Pity'! I downloaded it all unawares and was quite enchanted. There's something about other-language versions of well-known songs which is really fascinating.
