Afternoon honkies! It would appear that all-out racial war has broken out on the list. Well, it had to happen. Keith wrote: I've been on this list since it started and almost everyone I've met from it is into some form of black music, be it Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Isaac Hayes, Reggae, Ska or Isaac Hayes. I'm glad you pointed that out, Keith. Isaac Hayes is indeed a genre unto himself, and I could have sworn he'd been the subject of lots of idle discussion lately. He is also one of the few artists willing to show the world that the top of his head is black too. To be quite honest, any kind of racial separatism makes my hair curl up into a huge afro, a bit like Jonathan King used to have, so I reject the concept of balck music and white music or the new asian underground or whatever. Having said that, I was one of the people who swore Rick Astley had to be black really. Recently someone called B&S the whitest music ever made, which I found a bit uncomfortable, but didn't say anything in order to maintain the peace. As for the lists of favourite bands, I think it's probably right to suggest that those with different tastes simply didn't feel the urge to tell everyone about it. These things tend to come out in the long run anyway. And there are plenty of British groups with members from all kinds of "ethnic groupages" in them. Big Country spring to mind, but there are hundreds of others, it's just so normal nobody notices. I could go on and on, but there are more important matters to pursue: Duke said: No horrid gossip on the boy with the honey pot because, frankly, he's just too darn lovely. I certainly wasn't suggesting anyone should indulge in nasty gossip about Paul, just talk about him behind his back. I tried the same thing last year, but nobody would play. I personally love Paul like an eagle (that's secret code for wearing a Nazi uniform) and I am sure he hasn't got any skeletons in the cupboard. Although he probably will have when he gets back, unless he sorted someone out to look after Splat and Pish while he's away.

OH WELL THANK YOU MISTER MILLER! I have not seen Heavenly Creatures! I was notified from chat about your lovely observation, and told the character that you mention is boring, dull, drab, and a psycho. Thank you. At least I'm not sung about in a Space song!!! Doh and you smell of poo. Sarah, calm down, you're frightening me! I only saw about ten minutes of the film, before I could take Ms Winslett no more, and "your" character was neither boring, dull, drab or a psycho. She just sat in a classroom scowling. I thought she was very nice, actually. Not for the first time, someone mentioned the loveliness of Elisabeth from Canada. Eat shit, turkey, I've met her. Not only was she wearing a Saint Etinne t-shirt, she also drank copius amounts of cider, later to fall into a deep and snoreless sleep. I have a sneaking suspicion that she's no stranger to the wonderful world of Brazilian popular music. All in all, a great bloke. You should hear her say "Genevieve". Or "shagging". I'M GOING NOW, TO TRY AND GET RID OF THIS POO SMELL!
