Lists: Ten things I can't live without

After food, water, oxygen and somewhere to go out of the rain, I give you ten things I can't live without.

1. A coffee maker (or at the very least, a French Press and ground coffee)

2. A decent Hi-Fi (seriously, why do people listen to music on crappy stereos?)

3. My wife and kids (btw. these are not in order of significance)

4. A camera

5. My Mac and teh interwebs (I know this probably makes me sound rather sad, but the net is my main source of media - be that video, audio or text)

6. Monocle and the Saturday newspapers (the best papers - the Guardian and FT weekend editions - come out on Saturday, not Sunday)

7. My iPod

8. New Balance trainers (or Asics, at a push)

9. A spellchecker

10. Helmut Lang cologne

I fear for number 10 becuase Helmut Lang is not really in operation anymore and they stopped producing the cologne in 05.

But fear not a remake of the old Cuiron should be out soon.

Really?

I'm sure I bought my last bottle only last year in Leeds.

I'm screwed then aren't I?

I still have just over half-a-bottle of HL cologne, and just under half-a-bottle of Cuiron. I should be careful.

Rather like RL Explorer, but it's not the same. :o(

A man of impeccable taste!

I've double checked, Cuiron is the only one making a come back and that should be with us very soon.

COLOGNE FACT CHECK!

Jams,

Why thank you squire.

Daniel,

Cuiron is the better of the two, anyway. You know, Fragrance Aficionado Magazine should never have let you go.
