Not really - I just wanted to make young Nick (who I have met only once, but it seems like I've known him a lifetime) feel a bit more persecuted. Was Kristen joking about all the votes for Morrissey? Hope so - Johnny Marr was always the better looking, as well as the most talented. Still, Suedehead, Last of the Famous, Interesting Drug - not bad going for a has-been... I had loads to say, but after a bottle or two of Amarone at lunchtime, it's all left me. I have a bit of a problem with Ian's hate list, I must admit - I don't see why they deserve to be lumped together, for a start - is he slagging them to see what people's reactions will be? It seems to me a bit of a miracle that he likes Belle and Sebastian if he is so antipathetic towards a good half of those he slates - and anyway, how come he's so au fait with the Cha Cha Cohen back catalogue ("10. Virtually anyone else on the Chemikal Underground label")? I also have a bit of a soft spot for Bis - and have you seen Manda since the weight went and the tan arrived? Helloo... And can I just say fuck off to anyone who genuinely uses the term "middle class" as an insult. We're stuck with it, bucko. I've just read a story with the words "my egg-laying days are over" in it - maybe I have stumbled on the mysterious lost verse...
