...Yes I am, After two days abandoned by Wumpkinny, who's run off to Canada to give a series of would-be suitors (a distant Parisian cousin off the Krays complete with sovereign rings, a fat Manc in sweaty vest and garish running shorts at the airport, and worst of all, a clearly undersexed conspiracy theorist) the slip. To add insult to injury, she's hidden the marmite and now I'm reduced to a poor shell of a man. And the phone went on the blink last night, so I had to go to the callbox last night and listen to that woman my Dad used to call Tin Knickers telling my call would be answered shortly for half an hour until I gave up, a broken man. But do you want to hear my tales of woe? Of course you don't, and I don't blame you. By some weird telekinetic coincidence I was, like Peter Miller, also wondering whether people go on about how drunk they've been to cover up who they've been snogging. You don't need to be so ashamed, love comes in all forms and in the most unlikely situations. So tell us all, don't be shy. Bug, you should dump him. I'm sorry, I know you said we shouldn't tell you that, but you should. Be strong, as strong as a woman. But never mind that...did you see Kevin Rowland at Reading? Was it as funny as it sounded, because it sounded really, really very funny. He was interviewed in "Uncute" this month and the poor soul clearly doesn't know what day of the week it is. I didn't buy any records in Paris, because every shopkeeper in Paris had gone on holiday. I did go into a bar that had a little toy train going from between the men's and ladies toilets. I wonder if this is so that prospective lovers can pass little billet doux from one cubicle to the other while they poo. I do hope so. And we met someone who knew Thim when he was just a wee bairn in a school blazer. My lips are sealed, but I do accept bribes. Time for my gruel.
