Nick Dastoor, you stole what I was going to say! I can't listen to the beginning of Dickslap without picturing Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper riding along under a blue sky, engines throbbing between their legs. Vroom! As for the rest of what you said, I'm going to be typically wishy-washy and say that it's horses for courses, but I'll probably annoy the crap out of you by waging a JIADS Jihad next time I've had sufficient quantities of gin, which won't be for a while because copious gin consumption can result in colds if it's done in parks in Greenwich, which it was. Speaking of which, hello to all the new people I met at the picnic and an especially warm cuddle to the first timers who overcame extreme shyness and stepped up to say hello and help scare away pigeons by throwing assorted fruits at them. I know I'm, like, the zillionth person to write about the NME thing, but I'll keep it short, promise. I don't give a toss if the bugger doesn't like B&S, but an accusation of intellectual laziness is a bit rich from somebody who is so darned lazy he quotes a chunk of the press conference and claims it was part of his own little chat with Struan. (stand by for the oldest chestnut in the book...) Mr Wells, were we even at the same gig? Iain Radcliffe said:

Lucy, you name makes me think of trees for some reason, are you willowy and sylph-like at all?

I have to admit to being a bit more tits 'n' arse than that but Iain, you can have my undying lurve for saying such a nice thing, as can Arantxa for calling me "a hard-drinking, red-shoed smart lady" Rock on Juicy Lucy -- This communication contains information which is confidential and may also be privileged.
