Paul wrote: Actually there won't be one. This just to say that your list manager will be away for some of this week and next, and expects you all to be good bunnies, not make rude signs to the neighbours, and not feed your little sister to the dog. And keep the house tidy. I'll probably pop in remotely to do any maintenance I can, and because it will cost me I will be less patient... grrr. It's that time of year again. Once again we are faced with a good given opportunity. Paul has gone away, so it's up to us to talk about him behind his back. I'll start: Honey aka Honey is a doctor of astronomy. He studied for mnay years, often under the tutelage of Patrick Moore himself, to earn himself this distinguished title. On his graduation day, he was awarded a certificate and an extremely large and powerful telescope. Paul was happy and relieved because at long last he was able to carry out the secret plan that he had harboured for so many years. He got home, whipped off his mortar board and cloak, revealing only a pair of leopardskin underpants beneath. He somehow managed to haul the enormous telescope upstairs and set it up on its special tripod in his bedroom. He sttled down and waited for the big moment. At last, seven hours later, Paul's dream finally came true! He was able to enjoy the sight of his neighbour, Mrs Matlockbath-Cablecar, wearing only her bloomers and corset as she pranced around her exotically perfumed boudoir. Yesterday I went to the pictures and it was a film and it was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and it says on the poster that it stars Johnny Depp but it doesn't, because I'm sure it is Lawrence out of Denim, so he's not on the dole at all, it's just a trick to get loads of inidie sympathy. Oh, a word of introduction for newcomers: My name's Peter, I've been lurking on the list for about a year now. My favourite music is "Behind Blue Eyes" by The W!H!O!, but not the slow bit at the beginning, just the bit near the end where they really give it some and rock out big time. I used to like Isaac Hayes, but he's sold out, the big turkey.
