Hello Merry Munchkins, This emails content is not 100% B&S, apologies I am weak and un-focused. *Pretty Pretty Please with sugar on top* if anyone feels the need to comment on Rick's post can you mail Rick directly rather than the list. I know it's hard to resist sometimes and you all mean well, but stuff like this tends to get quickly out of control and does no one any favours. Please trust me on this. - Floyd, The Pink - Musical semolina I'm afraid. Best suited for angst-ridden party's when someone's swiped all the Meatloaf/Doors/Cat Stevens CDs. The lyrics give the appearance of being deep & meaningful only when drunk or stoned, scientists have termed this the "Led Zeppelin Syndrome (LZS)" but very little actual research is currently being undertaken on the phenomenon. This is of course just my own poorly considered opinion and I realise that many people like PF immensely, this is fine but I am not one of them. I strongly associate it with a period of my adolesence that I'd much rather forget. - 2001 prt I - Unless we're talking about 8:01pm tonight then no live dates this year is not exactly what we wanted to hear. As someone rightly pointed out this kind of behavior plays straight into the hands of their detractors, I can imagine Swells was rubbing his corpulent scab encrusted hands together with glee when he heard the news. I'm not upset as such as it wasn't totally unexpected but I can feel my faith slipping a bit. In comparison The Stereophonics are touring this year, it is indeed a cruel world we live in. - 2001 prt II - Are we really a mere 5 months away from Intergalactic travel, surreal babies floating in space and lip-reading supercomputers ?, how will B&S survive in such a world ?, will there still be a place for their well crafted pop melodies ?. I certainly hope so. Arthur C. Clarke may well have been responsible for the Communications satellite (though personally I remain unconvinced) and is no longer a suspect kiddie fiddler but I think we've got a good few centuries of normal life left before we have to start dealing with space travel on a semi-regular basis. Despite this I still have a soft spot for Arthur as he was indirectly responsible for providing us with one of televised comedy's shinning moments, I'm of course talking about The Goodies "The Search For Arthur C Clarke" episode. Genius. - London Picnic - Will someone be sending another reminder to the list about this and the planned pre-picnic pub meeting ?. I deleted the emails as initially I was going to be working and unable to attend but that's changed now so can someone refresh my memory regarding times and all that. Cheers. - Will the real Sad Fluffy GHD please stand up - Is he still amongst us ?. Well that's work successfully avoided for a hour. Be good, Craig xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
