Fellow matadors, Massive great tension headache (after 10 days solid coffee, food and bouze, don't limit yourselves straight away to peaches, bran and a chickpea and black-eyed bean curry, kids) is preventing me from working at the moment, so I'm starting my back-in-England sinister letter to you all. Phew! (who is Ric Flair, then?) I still have three digests to read, but unless I forget I'll get through them all before pressing send. Amy, I'm tallish, mousey and what people politely term "thinning on top". Unless they're Tim Hopkins, in which case "hopeless bald cunt" is more likely. I am loaded, though, you were right on that one, after making 300% on my stake at Venice Casino last week. I am rock! Roulette is classy, though there's something to be said for incomprehensible machines paying out dozens and dozens of coins even though you can't work out why on earth you've won. I even arrived home to find a cheque from Bananalotto (www.bananalotto.co.uk) <http://www.bananalotto.co.uk)> . Anyway, I'm not going back in a casino ever again, as that's my luck used up. Though if Ooon is ever stuck for something to do in SW London, I could be tempted to show her how the experts *really* do it. Magnetic Fields - another massive sinister posse for the Shepherd's Bush Empire, then? I'm afraid I have to disagree with my learned friend who suggested 69 Love Songs was the weediest LP yet - I have studied at the Michael Jones Night School of Indie (Intermediate level), and apart from a couple of astonishing slices of naïf-pop like 100,000 Fireflies, Mr Merritt's oeuvre has got far stronger and more interesting in recent years. In any case, they were the fuckin' nail at the QEH, so I suggest you all get off your pampered, over-upholstered indie arses and get your tickets sorted pronto. I have The Sims. Naturally, my families are Belle and Sebastian. Isobel has fallen in love with Beanz (sic). Though they haven't shagged yet. I even got the patch that takes away the fuzzing when they're nude. It's not at all like Big Brother. But I didn't realise you could add your own MP3s! Fantastic stuff! I have also just ordered "International Cricket Captain 2000" over the interweb. Does this make me the saddest sinisterine? Kevin's post (honestly, it has no connection to being sad) was chuffin' tops, mate - nice to see some solid scientific reasoning on the list, compared to the subjective, judgmental waffle we usually put up with :-) Nik, you're dead right about the News of the World and their culpable homicide (or whatever our judicial system calls it). Apart from frightening nazi-esque resonances, the sight of these ignorant, bullying FASCIST scum baying for blood and abusing their own children's innocence (let's seem them work out that moral quandary, then) by using them as flagpoles for their own vicious bigoted agendae. By definition, these sex offenders, irredeemable though some may be, have done their time, and the law says that they should be allowed to continue their everyday lives without fear or prejudice.. But perhaps I'm being fascistic myself, denying freedom of the press? Nah. See you kids at whatever picnic wins the battle of the picnics, BG Mark xxx ******************************************************************* HIT Entertainment PLC 5th Floor, Maple House 141-150 Tottenham Court Road LONDON, W1P 9LL Tel: +44 (20)7 554 2500 Fax: +44 (20)7 388 9321 The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
