on the plus side, all this has given me time to think about people with two christian names or two surnames, the freaks. Chris is in good company, just look at this list: Andrew Dean, Michael Roddddddd from Screen Test, Lenny Henry, Jesse James, Ben Elton, Elton John, Rodddddddd Stewart and George Michael. Mitchell Fraser, on the other hand, is a member of a much more exclusive club: Wilkie Collins and, erm, Brad Pitt.

Indeed. I was intrigued to read the "great" Douggie Coupland debate between Ruth "No I'm a boy really" McCurry and Alan "No, really, it's Debbie" Prior. What are the chances of that happening, eh? It makes me all misty-eyed for the days when Petey came on as P Miller/Arantxa Sanchez Viccario. I used to think that was his drag name, and that he had a comely alter ego who looked a little like that Margarita Pracatan woman from Clive James.

I'm surprised to see that we haven't had a mail from Sweden from Tag yet, although perhaps he hasn't got his "plastic pal" with him, that's no excuse though cause Trousers managed to send an anonymous mail from an Internet Saddo Cafe this morning to the list. I think it's about time we received a postcard from Sweden.

I think I know the answer to this little conundrum. Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed an advert for the film "Twilight of the Ice Nymphs" in last Friday's Grauniad. I always hoped that Tag had simply imagineered this film, but it seems like it's fer real. And who should be quoted on the ad? "Deliriously absurd" - Robert McTaggart. I'm not sure who he's describing there, but he obviously spontaneously combusted at the sight of it. At least he died a happy tag. Oh and Miller, this week's poem really did end like that, I just forgot the fullstop. The saddo cafe had a defective keyboard, but other than that I can heartily recommend it.
