JOHNNY BALLS Well done, David Moore for posting that article. Quite the most revealing thing Ive read since Johnny Balls Reveals His Balls an, erm, educational pamphlet I once read. The review in the Indy made it sound as if the gig was almost empty. I dont suppose Stuart would mind, though - it means less tidying up afterwards. I WONT PLAY ANOTHER HEAVYWEIGHT, I WONT PLAY ANOTHER BIG JOHN SHAFT Mr Moore also asked;
Another question, to anyone who has seen the film "Tory Spelling": is there anything in it >that would have inspired Sru-Anne to think of an acupuncture theme for the soundtrack >album cover?
Not that I can remember. However, I have been listening to my copy of Big John Shaft, which has been officially endorsed by Jeepster as a bit ropey, and the lyrics do make more sense in context. Itll work well as the last song on the album. I wont have a go at listing the lyrics here, because a lot of them are drowned in talk and dancing, but it wont be long now anyway, will it? <<KEN CHU IS NEARLY A CULT>> Yeah. Just one letter out, har har! FORESKIN <<ps. What do Ailsa Watson and Rumplestiltskin have in common?>> I once read that Rumplestiltskin actually means Wrinkled Foreskin in olde english. So when he story was written it was a bit of a joke that he was ugly and smelly and looked like a wrinkled foreskin. Not that this has anything to do with Ailsa, of course, let me hasten to add. BERTIE BASSETT We spent our lunchtime talking about Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts. I went out and bought a box. Heres my definitive ranking: 1. The pink or blue aniseed ones, that look like little sequined hat boxes 2. The pink or yellow coconut ones, that look a bit like an octopuses eyes 3. The chocolate layered ones 4. The regular layered ones 5. The liquorice torpedoes, or comfits - they look like grannys medicine 6. The black and white ones, that look like Felix the Cats fingers 7. Bertie sodding Basset I ate a whole box of them and now i feel ill.
