What can I add to John's deft summary of yesterday's hilltop shenanigans? In years to come it will be looked back upon like Woodstock or the first Pistols' gigs, with half the country claiming to have been among the lucky 52. Memorable moments include: ~ 3 ten year olds making the rest of us look a bit daft at football ~ the triumphant march of The Pastels 7-aside team through the piecemeal defence of both the Black and White teams ~ Katrina and Susannah providing an impromptu gymnastics exhibition ~ the touching concern of many for the whereabouts of the Monday Poem ~ Katrina becoming the official List Mum for her way with a black bin liner in the rubbish-strewn aftermath ~ The landlord of the Spread Eagle threatening to call the cops if we didn't take our cans elsewhere ~ suddenly symphathising with Stuey Murdoch, as the massed ranks of sinisterines failed to remember anything but the first line of any of the songs that Rob B bashed out on his axe ~ 'Steady' Mike returning from a fag run to the offie with a mysteriously-acquired Arvo Part cd ~ 'Unsteady' Elisabeth Z providing a sterling rendition of every Scandinavian Eurovision entry since 1976 (complete with choreography) What a lovely bunch we are. Rumours suggest that the next London bash is already planned for the 25th of this month... I guess we all ought to thank the dear, departed Blue Soda Socialists, David and Katrina for their matchless organisational skills...
