Hi sinister, Greetings from Hong Kong. Yes, a long distance sinister love affair had proved too much to bear and I ended up moving all the way to Hong Kong to live with my beloved. Haha Not really. Got you going though! I actually am in Hong Kong at the moment though, no kidding. Family business and all that. Hong Kong is the land of rude English names for places e.g. a new housing estate being advertised that is called "NOBLAND". Actually that's the only rude one I saw so far. Apart from "Mong Kok". Dear Catastrophe Waitress ================= I don't think I'm going to make myself popular or unpopular here, and say that I think DICKWANK is going to be fantastic I still believe that the following tracks on the album are going to be SUPERB... this is how I GUESS these tracks are going to be like - it's not as if I've HEARD IT ALREADY and all - I mean, it's not been released yet. If She Wants Me - I'm guessing that if you liked "Big John Shaft" you'll like this one, and listening to it is going to make you feel content with the world. Wrapped up in Books - I think I'm gonna check check checkcheckcheck check check check out its melody. Lord Anthony - I think the pint glass noises that was the best bit of the bootleg recording will be gone, but the song is still going to be good. If you find yourself caught in love - I am guessing that this is going to be one of my favourite songs ever. Of course I already KNOW this one coz it was on the peel session the other time. I'm a cuckoo - This I think is going to be a THIN LIZZY tribute song, and sound a bit like The Boys Are Back In Town, which is good in my books. Piazza, New York Catcher - I think this song is going to be a nice little song with just Stuart singing over an acoustic guitar like a folk singer. And I'm going to have no clue about the lyrics because I'll know nothing about baseball and I'm guessing this song has some baseball references in it. THIN LIZZY-OH ========= I think, rather than being just for a sake of a rhyme, this is in fact a reference to Thin Lizzy's version of "Whiskey in the Jar" in which, the lyrics go... Whack for my daddy-oh whack for my daddy-oh There's whiskey in the jar-ro* ... with I'm a cuckoo being (I am guessing to be) a Thin Lizzy tribute and all. It could have been a METALLICA tribute, of course, as METALLICA have also done a version of that song with the same daddy-oh jar-ro trick. But then I'm a cuckoo will have sounded like METALLICA, and thus shit. And the lyrics would probably go I'd rather be in Cai-ro Listening to Metalli-ca-ro but it isn't. Perhaps the reference was a little too subtle this time for some. If how I guess the album is going to be is correct, it's almost going to be like B&S have matured and won't be spending the whole time singing about having being odd in school and having no friends or having wet dreams anymore, but sometimes sing about having loved and hurt and a being better person for it, or choking on cornflakes. And I am going to like it. TIGERMILKING ========= I was going to use... "FIND OUT IF KEN CHU IS SINGLE" ...as the advert for Tigermilking, which would have been a killer! However since I doubt I can make it this time (I would have JUST got back from Hong Kong and all) I might cause a mass chaos when people turn up and my availability is still unknown. Dafyd, who did a better job at advertisting Tigermilking anyway (btw Tigermilking REALLY IS highly recommended despite the probable lack of my DJing skills this time) also said...

...

the night is the same day England play Turkey at football and that kicks off at 6 so if anyone wants to meet us at the Trotwood for post tigermilking footie action then arrive at 6!<<

I guess he meant PRE-tigermilking footie action, however, the idea of POST-TIGERMILKING FOOTIE actually sounds great. We can bring a football and play outside the Betsey at 2 in the morning - we can be like Ronaldo in the Nike adverts! Ooo ooo ooo ahh ooo ahh eee ahhh oooo ... mas que nada. etc.(which incidentally sounds like the latin instrumental version of I don't want to play football) Football ===== Speaking of football the cable TV in Hong Kong is fantastic - it's like the show premiership football live and stuff, and if you missed it you can watch the repeats. In fact, that's pretty much all they show when there's no live football on, I've watched Charlton v Liverpool 3 times now, what a hat-trick. AND, ESPN (channel 7 on cable) have the PUNNIEST sports news program in the world. They even made RUDE puns the other day, paulo di canio slapped Lisbie on the bum, and the presenter later wondered if Paulo di canio's skills is going to RUB OFF to the other players, and the other presenter said .. no BUTTS about it. BOOM BOOM PTISH TWANG BONG. Oh yes and they show bowling. Yours Ooh get me i'm so controversal-ly. Ken x * I don't really know if that's EXACTLY how the lyrics went - I never understood it - what's so whack about getting free whiskey? Did they actually mean to say "DOPE for my daddy-oh"? "SICK for my daddy-oh"? - It took me ages too to work out all these sk8r talk... Or did they mean they're getting his dad some drugs to go with the booze? Or if they meant if his dad had drunk all that whiskey he'd be whacked? Somebody enlighten me please. P.S.: I hope the B&S DVD is going to work on the playstation 2, with interactive games and all. Mmm maybe B&S SMACKDOWN - a bit like that Wu-Tang Clan kung fu game. Killah Belle vs Murdoch Man, Ol' Dirty Bob. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?
