Bonjour, French pop, eh? Educational. Anyway, if there's anybody out there in the North of England who doesn't want to go to a really indie club then Smile's on every week and it's not very indie. And if you didn't come last week cos you thought you might be a bit intimidated by the global celebrity on the decks, then this week it's back to the usual losers so why not pop along and feel good about yourself. We promise not to play any Field Mice and in fact we have a special three-pronged attack for anyone who requests that kind of nonsense. Julian punches them, Emma pours petrol over them and I throw the match. Quite affective we find. Petula greeted me thus:

Hello John, we meet at last.

I'll forgive you for the lingerie comments and tell you a bit more about those songs. They hail from the (bootleg) Ultra Chicks series: "Filles in the Garage" and "Lolita Ya-Yas". Not only are

Hello to you too, my dear. I hear you're going to cook me a meal? You'd better be good at it. I've got quite high standards you know. Then she forgave me and filled a gap in my pop knowledge: they

full of fantastic pop, but if you own actual copies they make you look really cool as well. Next time you have a party and when the music boys do the inevitable flip through your records, put them straight in front and they'll get really jealous.

Such a nice, kind girl. Very clean. Anyway, I think having these things on tape is much more beneficial than having the originals. Not only can you impress people with you're fantastic pop selections when they come round to your house. You can seamlessly display what hip and groovy friends you have too. And er, smut? Well I did hold big JB's hand in central Manchester last night. We thought we were being subversive but I think we just looked like a pair of poofters. Why do people apologise for no B&S content? It never bothers me. Au Revoir good people. And bad people too.
