Dear all, I think in light of the Canadian possé's brushes with Degrassi characters the English fraternity should enlighten on the present activities of the cast of our very own Grange Hill. For instance, Zammo (who was the man who said yes long before that bloke from Delmonte) is a locksmith in central London and his on screen girlfriend Jackie apparently sells flowers on the Embankment. While Doyley props up the bar in the Windmill pub in Hounslow, who I once managed to piss off by putting The Doors "The End" on the Jukebox. I don't even like the Doors it's just that at 16 minutes long, or whatever, it seemed extraordinarily good value. It nearly went down as badly with the regulars as putting REM's "Hairshirt" on every time I went to the Milford Arms in Isleworth. People ended up actually kicking the jukebox as they hankered for Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul or something. Very funny. In fact this could be classified under the sport "townie baiting", which is illegal in some countries. I guess it was lucky old Alistair Scotty wasn't there as if he would have kicked them back for not respecting Stipey's whines and it could have got very messy. Onto more pertinent matters, Looper were indeed a bit flat the other night, though, as mentioned the supporting exotic* narcotic poet and the hour long wait there in pub hours didn't help. I was kind of surprised as they had got some good write ups here, but I also saw Hefner for free that night and they were a bit bloody fantastic. Again. Thanks to Starry and Mr Daffy Moore (whose review of Nalda Said I eagerly anticipate) for the multiple Looper tickets, I was unfortunately unable to sell them to unsuspecting tourists though. Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings (http://www.send.demon.co.uk) * - by exotic I of course mean bollocks p.s. I also played rugby against Roland from Grange Hill as a boy. Those who know rugby and Roland would not be surprised to find out he played prop and there was more than the occasional shout of "Row-laan, Row-laan" in his general direction. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
