Another year is nearly over and once more I am compelled to trawl the depths of my memory and bring you this year's list - things I've liked, loved, wanted to do icky and unmentionable things to. The rules: the 2005 list is entirely unrelated to 0-word reviews (hey - my house, my rules, 'kay?); items contained on the 2005 list were not necessarily 'new' in 2005, I just happened across them for the first time this year.
