why is neil hannon fucking alive when hes a vile smug little wanker

anyone see "him" on 'stars in their eyes'? the audience hadn't the first f---ing clue who he was meant to be! On Tue, 31 Mar 1998, Sarah wrote:

i think that admitting to owning a tape of this album would be more controversial than admitting liking the spice girls, but it's 'smash' by 'the offspring'.

"I try to make everyones day a little more surreal" ***Calvin!****

one of my favourite calvin strips of all times, that one (i still do the "i'd like to order a pizza' thing myself.) On Tue, 31 Mar 1998, Alan Prior wrote:

Oh, and Rod; All Saints are better than the Spice Girls.

hmm.. the jury's still out on that one... but the saints wouldn't be here today if it weren't for our pioneering girl power chums.

Film Quote of the day; "if i ever start refering to these as the best days of my life, remind me to kill myself" This is in my school yearbook profile, where it also says i am "intense and glittery". Hmmmmm.

ooh! i know that one, but can't place it for the life of me. heathers? my uni yearbook entry had questions for "in ten years time i would like to be..." and "in ten years time i will probably be..." my answers were "living off the royalties of my wife, sporty spice" and "31. or dead."

[sad songs] boo radleys - lazarus, spaniard

that's interesting, cause i always have 'lazarus' down as a happy song. something about that powerful trumpety fanfare just makes me shiver with niceness. On Wed, 1 Apr 1998, susannah wrote:

[sinister sleaze test] 10) Have you ever 'got off' with a list member? Five points, double if Northy or Begbie, ten points for actual penetrative sex. Fifty if it was up the arse. And you can double that if it was Tag.

which raises all kinds of metaphysical questions. did i spend my teenage years building up a collosal sleaze score? i think we should be told... on a less flippant point, apologies to any offended by my use of racist language. not at all intentional -- i paused before typing it, but definitely not for long enough. believe me, i'm the least racist guy on the planet. 3 days to the spice girls concert... rod.
