The indisputable Top Cat had a number of close friends who got to call him 'TC' (providing it was with dignity), but WHAT WAS THE NAME OF HIS BEATNIK PAL (you know, the one who wore a beret and shades)?
Answers by next Monday, please.
What a fiendish lot you Poetry Society types are! I headed straight for my copy of The Golden Age of Children's Television by Geoff Tibbals, with foreword by Johnny Morris, and there is a list of all the characters...but no indication of which is which!!! Monday you say? That sets me up for an interesting weekend of rumination. I know that the violinist was called Laszlo Laszlo. Will that do? Eeny meeny miney mo.... Peter PS: Belle and Sebastian are part of an exciting promotion in my local branch of Gong records. There's a big blow-up of the cover. If you buy a copy you go into a draw to win all the other cds in the promotion (shit ones) and B&S again. I know that's not very interesting, but I feel it's my duty to keep you all abreast of B&S developments in this pop backwater. I think Duke was right about "dance" records. I would love to follow his advice and get a pile of drum and bass records, but it's only used for adverts here. I did see Roni Size and his chums' prize winning epic, but I didn't have enough money at the time. Some bugger swiped it from under my nose, so now I'm just biding my time, waiting to pounce. If you think dance music is bad where you live, try the Spanish version, known inexplicably as "cod", as in the fish. I wonder if anyone's going to leap to its defence? Carlos? New boy Rafa? No? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
