Edna Welthorpe, Mrs barked:
D/ Dr Who Sarah Garret Sonner crashlanded into our list of top ten posters the other day. Among other things she mentioned how Tom Baker refers to himself as "the ultimate Dr Who", which is peculiar as we had the misfortune to hear Jon Pertwees Christmas single recently, and he also refers to himself as the ultimate Doctor. They cant both be right. We personally side with Pertwee, not only for his dandyism, but also because his surname suggests he is both pert and twee, a combination we find irresistable.
Right, I've got a theory on this one, known as "the grange hill theory" (bear with me on this). Basically a person's favourite doctor depends on when they were first scared witless by a dalek. Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, being an old trout (and not very tall, by the look of that e-mail), prefers pertwee, although i'm surprised she didn't go for william hartnoll to be honest, whereas us nubile 20-somethings are drawn towards baker (or even davidson). It's a bit like grange hill, my fave characters were gonch and that lot cos they were the same age as me, whereas our edna is almost certainly a tucker fan. edna also mentioned pinefoxlegs, which can be found here, in all their glory: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/atpphotos/onbeach.jpg Dearest Lucy talked about cd:uk, which sounded rather horrid, but i did manage to almost take a picture of the back of her and ally96's heads, which will be scanned at some point. I went to strange fruit oxford last nite, which was nice, if not quite as busy as strange fruit london. I met some nice people, and then semi-ruined it by describing the bloke who is the (if you will) majordomo of the oxford music scene as a "bald fat miserable cnut" to one of his underlings, oh dear... Did anyone else notice that rosetta the cat sent her e-mail from a year in the future? Cats, you can't trust them, one second they're sat fiddling with a piece of wool, the next they're fiddling with the space/time continuum... which reminds me of another theory, but i think we'll save that for another time. xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
