L^�Augmentation - 'Soleil' but that's where it stops (according to the radio 1 web site anyway. they also had some very obvious errors in there (male burse anyone?) so...). i do (did?) have a recording of most of the rest of it and can tell you that 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' was at number 3 (behind mogwai and the delgadoes). i'll post the rest of it when either myself or the radio 1 web page guy has transcribed it... ('widdershins' btw john, is old english for 'anti-clockwise') andy um, strange christmas. it was bookended by trips to heathrow, the latter being more successful than the former (when the girlfriend i was surprising arrived 40 minutes earlier than expected and had already left for guildford with some burly police officer). spent most of the rest of it (seemingly) on trains to manchester (staying with two of the nicest people alive, one of whom ended up with my secret santa present that i took to the Sinister Social the night before. what are the chances?), birmingham, ashchurch (for tewkesbury), hemel, brighton and london and in a graveyard lopping the heads off various members of the undead... back to work today to find they've put the price of coffee up by 50% in the machines and that part of beth's christmas present had finally arrived hours after seeing her onto her plane. looks like she won't get to find out who eventually volunteers to help madame cholet pick blackberries until next christmas... == andrew dean (koogydelbbog@yahoo.com) _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
