i hope isobel's ok. i have changed my opinion from annoyed to sympathetic, as quite frankly i would probably collapse in a heap if i had to tour america too. it's been a week or so since i posted, i guess. i've been... recovering. an unpleasant character called mavis turned up in brighton last friday - i caught his name, and the words 'ian sent me to teach you a lesson', as he crashed through my bedroom window whirling a mace. the lesson wasn't as fun as the last one. in fact he gave me quite a run for my money, but once i got out my electric screwdriver he wasn't nearly so cocky. still, i'm beginning to respect ian a little more. he's still a mentalist, but perhaps keeping nuns in your laundry cupboard isn't the worse thing you can do. i went to That london on sunday to check the opposition out for myself. obviously i didn't actually TALK to ian, just spied on him from behind a tube of pringles. other than that it was the usual pub fun and fab gossip - shouts out to my homegirls liz and maddie, and all the lovely london massive :) speaking of meet-ups, i believe luscious liz has already jogged memories about the next dirty weekend in brighton: it will indeed be on SATURDAY 25TH MAY - more sordid details to follow. luv archel - coming to you with all the depth and glitter of a soiled dime xxx ps. parkerisms are contagious ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.
