Jim's favourite things

As you have heard from Jo, Jim's favourite indian dish was chicken tikka dry fry.

His favourite song was One by U2. I remember us crooning it together whilst crusing slowly down Broad Street with the windows down. Jim dryly pointed out at the end of the strip that I had baby seats in the back of the car and I was driving a Renault Megane Scenic.

"Accept it mate.", he said, "You are middle-aged now and this is no longer cool". Given that I was only 29 at the time, I did not take this well!

Anyway - great song - amazing it only ever got to number 7 in the UK charts. Was of course covered recently by Mary J Blige on her Breakthrough album and sung at the Grammys.

If you know of any more of James' favourite things, why not add them as a comment to this post? Cheers, D.
