How we (the SW British) have heard that joke so much in the past few hours...can i not se the 'Simpson' scriptwriters having a field day!!! But then...wait? Gore? hmm...maybe clinton is less of a fan of that...but it's another democrat... oh, wait, Bush is in the lead again! or is he? You sodding americans with your confusing electoral system...now it is claimed that servicemen in Korea who are residents of Florida have to return their votes. WHAT'S GOING ON?!! despite this, my new controversial topic has to be the elections. despite the floods in most of our fair country (and apologies to all of you who are onder 15ft of water...), it is safe to say that the Presidential elections are tres nutty. I would rather have Gore, after finding Texas (which is Bush's state) is No1 for executions, polluted city and underinsurance, while it is 47th in state and 50th in medical spending (yee-haw) plus his brutal and unnecessary plans to rape alaska's nature reserves for oil. Comments, texans? i know you've all debated this before, but your news takes a strangled, delayed past to our [rainy] shores... on a lighter note... GENTLE WAVES Much better than last time, i think. Stuie M has done the string arrangements, and they are tres Stuie... JEEPSTER Jeepster's site is slowly decomposing, is it not? In fact, did anyone discover Looper's reason for quitting the label? How much of the xmas album cost will go to the Big Issue? "profits" is such an ambiguous word, since accountants are so good at "cooking with numbers" FLOODS/PETROL CRISIS our Geography class have spotted a wasted opportunity from our dismal government yet again. What if they'd announced "OK, you can choose - reduction in fuel duty or flood defences?" - 2 birds, one stone. In fact, truckers should be entitled to 'red' diesel, and i still fail to see why not. But then, i advocate the use of rail freight (one the bloody privatised rail services get their asses in gear) DROSS i found a Snow Patrol 12" with extra S. Pilot remixes...yippee! Clearlake's website (www.clearlake.uk.com) is grand, if ye havenae heard of them... Select's CD this month has gone all indie on us...PJ Harvey? Snow Patrol? GENTLE WAVES? ALFIE?????????? i mean, lee's a sex god, but his music is soooo not Selectish!! Once again, in true "uh? ah? wuh? puh?" style i put my washable ink on your dear pages, and for this i apologise. Lotsa Love, Niko xxx PS - my arab friend wants Bush to win "otherwise America's VP will be a Jew". How should i respond? I have a bucket of sand and my head ready... PPS - "orange - minge". "silver - bugger it, i cant find a word that rhymes with silver". That good enough? PPPS - i'm really confused about the Chris Geddes thing. is he having the 4 top bidders round, or 4 nights where the top bidders come round, accompanied by three friends? hmmm, i'm scared i paid lots for only one placemat... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
