P.S "Bunking off though you're a toff" = playing truant even though your posh
But let us stress that it doesn¹t mean playing truant even though you're Posh. No, no, and thrice no. Even though I bet she did bunk off when she was at school... Wonder if Becks used to skive an all? Maybe in a secret previous existence they met behind the bike sheds for a quick drag, snog and grope. Or not. And some have been talking about the absence of Isobel on the current album, and casting around for whether that's a good or a bad thing... Personally, I'd go for a thumbs up about her absence, particularly because for me she ruined that album about the folding of hands, but heh, maybe that's just me. And those Gentle Waves records were h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e. Oh yes they were. I wanted to boak when I heard them (shivers at the memory). Which of course is why when a copy of her new solo effort arrived (oddly enough in the same mail shot as the record about the waitress) it was treated with not a little distaste and disdain. Once again, I had a review all ready to go, and let me tell you it wasn¹t pretty. It was full of hate and bile and frothing madness... but then something astounding happened. The record turned out to be really rather splendid! And it still is... Like a rather fetching soft-pop album beamed in from the late '60s or early '70s, flouncing on memories of the incomparably exquisite Wendy and Bonnie. Yum.
