distasteful or distilled… and to be frank, I find that life has more appeal without a driver who's asleep behind the wheel…" - Neil Hannon ("Don't Look Down", 1994)

May I ask why the Frank and Walters (otherwise known as "The Sweetest Men In Pop" ) only come ninth on your list? Tut tut. I went to one of their gigs in April and the guy-whose-dad-is-a-priest-or-something-out-of-the-divine-comedy was there, looking extremly short... And talking of famous people I can indeed confirm that Jarvis Coker is a bit of a B$S fan coz me& friends bumped into him in the loos at the Union Chapel gig (after having first accidentally walked in on the mens' loos- it really was an accident an non of the blokes seemed to mind too much....) Anyway, whilst at this said Union Chapel gig my best-friend confided to me that she found Stuart M quite attractive. After almost choking on my drink, I asked why. She revealed that it was in fact his dimples which were so alluring... (Me, I liked the trumpet-blowing-cutie whose name i don't know) Love the up-till-now-secretly-lurking- Yaz PS Ben, Triumphant chorus of "We love you, we do, we love you Ben, we do " x10 Thankx & love from many north london Tigermilk-brandishing Belle &Seb converts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
