Random Listing

I've sometimes wondered about my friends and which artists, which books, which TV programs, which places, which movies have most influenced them. These names have made a difference in their lives and help to paint a picture of who they are. To give an example for me with three names: Watership Down, Cabo Da Roca, Ian Rankin. 1 minute of googling would help you find out what they are. Then the intriguing part - why connected to me?

Here's a random list of names which mean a lot to Dominic. They are in no order. Some are places, some are books, some are TV shows or films, some are artists, some are sporting heroes. I don't know what I'm going to write. Here goes:

Tobermory, This Little Lime-Tree Bower My Prison,  Ian Rankin, Andy Irvine, Journey of Desire, Tintin, Dad's Army, Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek, Marillion, Red Barchetta, Gavin Hastings, Cramond, Aberdour, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, PG Tips, The Local Scoop, Chariots of Fire, Asterix, The Magic Roundabout, Murakami, Saramago, The Name of the Game, Roy Clements, PG Wodehouse, A Shot in the Dark, Under the Summer Stars, The Copper Kettle, The Front Porch Cafe.

That was completely random and I wonder how many you might recognize. You'll certainly ascertain that I'm British in origin and of a certain age! I wonder what your random list would look like.....

Even I your wife don't recognize all of them so I hope there's someone out there who can do better than I can!
