On the one hand it seems a little arrogant to have a ‘Best of Half-Fast’ section listing my favorite posts. It’s as if I’m saying “Hey, read these posts, they’re really, really good,” and that is something that I’d never actually say. On the other hand these posts are really, really good and if you’re new to Half-Fast then I want you to be able to find them quickly and easily because let’s face it, there’s a pretty good chance that I phoned in the post that’s currently at the top of the home page. I do that a lot. However, I actually put some time and thought into these posts and I hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
