Sorry I've been away, boys and girls, but I'm currently on the run. You might remember that last time I was here, I threatened to spill the beans on the mysterious cabal that is Sha La La. I shoulda known they wouldn't let me get away with it.... When I got home that night I was horrified to discover the severed head of a My Little Pony in my bed. The next day I received a threatening letter, composed with individual letters cut out of old copies of Bunty magazine. And then the men in the black anoraks started appearing... So I'll make this quick. As Mr Miller helpfully informed you the other day, this Friday at 7.30pm is the Sinister Xmas party at the Poetry Cafe on Betterton Street in Covent Garden, London. Everyone is welcome. It's gonna be a fiver to get in, which is a bit more than usual, but there will be plentiful food provided. Contrary to Petula Pumpkin-Wumpkin's suggestion, this will not consist of beans on toast, but will be a grand affair arranged by my friend Edward the Italian Chef. As if this wasn't enticing enough, I can reveal that we will have a guest of honour.... The other day I received a message from a certain student of Bangor University, confirming that he would attend. Yes, Richard North himself will there. The very thought of the young knight Northy finally meeting his Jedi Master, Tag, gets me all a-quiver. It will surely match the moment Keith met Roddddd at Shepherd's Bush for poignancy.
