Gotta love a man who treasures such treasures as Big Star and old uncle Jack.
Unless he's a Collingwood supporter, of course.
Come to think of it Stan, my hand knitted (knitted by my ex-girlfriend's mother over a summer), Collingwood scarf is almost as treasured.
Gen at Unearthly Blog Arena recently answered the same questions.
