Hello friends, i must've been very naive or lived all these years on a desert island (it's actually paris & it's not that uninhabited shall we say) but little did i know that this great songwriter dan treacy, leader of the television personalities, had been sent to gaol... i always thought that the man had been missing since he was last spotted in a launderette a few years ago, and i was scared that he'd never to be found ever again... hope that he'll recover soon & that he'll tour europe again- why not sing & play "sad mona lisa" whilst in paris, what a tremulously poignant song! on a lighter note, a fortnight ago i visited the "original scottish pub in paris" i.e. "the auld alliance" in le marais- paris, & as soon as i set foot the smiths were playing on the stereo, it was a whole compilation but sadly, when it ended, whereas i hoped for a belle and sebastian to keep the pleasure running, the irritating police arrived (the group, not the cops- inane joke sorry lolllll) later on,when i went to the men's urinal, as i was doing what every gentleman's supposed to do there- needn't draw a diagram, do i?- an elderly american man asked me if i was a doctor... have you ever spoken to a stranger from one urinal to another, that 's a wee weird... he thought i was one because i had washed my hands beforehand, to which i retorted: " i'm only a belle and sebastian fan, which equates to the same thing..." a very strange piece of conversation indeed... well then, maybe he was only trying to chat me up... next time i'll show'em my red knickers to a deafening silence... à bientôt- davey de paris +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
