High Fidelity is the best book I've read in ages. It's scary how
true to life it is. If nothing else it'll teach you never to end
up like Rob Flemming.

Am I blind? We were a yard away from Chris during the matinee show (my
girlfriend insists - she is madly in love) and saw nothing untoward...he
did look a bit pasty, though.
Did anyone see Nick Hornby's essay on LLPJ on some American website a while
back? Very good, a kind of state of the nation thing. By the way, if any of
you are Hornby fans, bad news: the new novel's crap! It'll be a lovely
film, though.

Lots of love,

This is the weirdest email Paul has sent...
Want a night out with Stuart David (sort of)? Have access to acres of 70s
US cop videos? Stuart is DESPERATELY looking for videos of "Columbo" for
a spoken word gig he is doing in Glasgow very very soon - he needs a video
within the next 2-3 days. This is NOT a B&S sock-related dream. Or a
list manager pisstake. He wants the stuff at the end where Columbo croaks
his denouement of the devillish misdemeanour. Videos of Wings of Desire
will sadly not do, which I bet you arty lot have by the truckload.
He's promised that if anyone can come up with the goods they will get an
hour's free chat with him on IRC - if I were you I'd worry what WWW sites
he will take you to.
If anyone has one, or indeed the whole Columbo collection could they email
ME as fast as their little legs can carry them? I guess it'll probably
have to be UK because quite seriously he needs them pronto.
Honestly I am not taking the mickey. Unless he is.
Oh, and while we're at it, this is a World Appeal for a karaoke tape of
"When A Child Is Born" by our favourite Johnny. Chris Leonard is too shy
to ask, but really he needs one so that he can embarrass his family on UK
TV all the way back to the Shelleys.

Hi,
I still have Cd's by Hootie, Crash Test Dummies and Rembrandts and
vynils by Bucks Fizz and Shaking Stevens. They helped make my musical
tastes what they are today. Currently in my room at uni we are having a
Jason Donovan revival, does anybody else feel this way inclined?
Thank you for not disgusting the wildlife.

I can't understand!!!
Why, in heaven, it's wrong to appreciate beautiful, incredible breasts like
K.Winslet's?
Is it possible that if someone says that he likes girl with big breasts (or
big bottoms) or something like that, he must apologize and is froghtened to
appear like a "Lad"?
I think that it's a typical english-american issue!
Here in Italy (as well as in other "mediterranean" countries) if you like a
woman's body it's really normal and you aren't afraid to say it.
Probably it's the fact that "POLITICALLY-CORRECT" IS THE MOST ABUSED
ENGLISH PHRASE?
I don't know, but, in my "humble" opinion,,it would be really strange if
people weren't attracted from the main aspects of the body of the opposite
sex (or even the same one, as long as you like it).
Breasts, bottoms, eyes and legs, muscles and so on were made by nature to
please and attract other people!!!
Isn't it POLITICALLY CORRECT?
Sorry, but I had to say it!
Love, Francesco.
"...and when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
and I think about death
and neither one particularly appeals to me...."
S.P.M.
P.S.
I DO agree!!! Kate Winslet is simply fantastic and a really good actress
(seen her in "HAMLET"?),
and I'm saying it not oly for her breasts.

We are you know. It seems like I can't step out my front door without
tripping over stray sinisterines. (incidentally, "sinisterine" reminds me
of "listerine", especially the dragon with haliotosis and Leslie Phillips'
voice).
Just last night I was out at the Poetry Library on the Southbank, filling
in my borrowing form. "I know that name" says the girl behind the desk.
"um, I work for the Poetry Society" says I, a little sheepishly. "No, no,
you're from the Belle and Sebastian mailing list, aren't you???!!!!" Our
celebrity knows no bounds...

Funny you should mention it, as I've just got the ink polaroids back from
the developers. It was a terrific night, and in fact we plan to hold a
similar event on the first Friday of every month. Come and join us!!
Here's a polaroid from the cafe..

On the left Katrina is trying to persuade James that "rek" is a real word.
>In the background David and Susannah are plunging the corkscrew into
another bottle of wine.
Later that evening I had the latest in my series of list-dreams. I dreamt
that I was sharing a bed with Tag, and as he tossed and turned in his
sleep, his lily-white legs were glinting in the moonlight.
I'm sure it was a dream. Wasn't it? WASN'T IT??
