Hello Friends, I'm a bit shocked that any list of great song writers with the initials SM failed to mention my hero Stephen McRobbie. When you talk about GREAT songwriters though it has to be married couples every time really. Greenwich & Barry, Goffin & King, Ike & Tina Turner, Nancy & Lee, Leiber & Stroller, Chip & Evie, Bacharach & David.....the list is endless. The Pastels have obviously cottoned on to this and the immanent nuptials of Stephen and Katrina and Aggi and the other one bodes well for the next LP. Stuart and Isobel should get married really. I wonder if Isobel would call herself Murdoch or Campbell-Murdoch or just stick with Campbell? There are so many things you just can't take for granted in the 21st century. Like England getting knocked-out by the Germans. I'm sure I was meant to be writing a gloating mail this morning? See what happens when you join the Euro. I watched Walkabout right to the end last night. Not cos Jenny Agutter spends most of the film in the buff - which is what my favourite magazine TV Quick said - but because I wanted to know where it was all filmed. According to the closing titles it was filmed entirely on location in Australia. So that was helpful. I nearly had to chin an old woman in a Little Chef at the weekend too. She was smoking in the no smoking area and I've got a foul temper. Fortunately for her she moved to the smoking area. It's been quite an exciting weekend all-in-all though. I'm not sorry by the way, Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
