A question - with the exception of our own dear Rachel, can anyone name any Tuckers in indiepop? It's just that I work in children's TV, and part of what I do is review all the submissions that come to us begging to be made into television programmes. This afternoon, I got a book called "Tucker Flips", and it's about three wee scotty dogs called Tucker, Murdoch and Duffy. It's obvious to me that Murdoch is guess who, and Duffy is the Artist Formerly Known as Tintin, but I just can't think who Tucker could be. And in the book, he's the best one. So, basically, it seems the author is commenting on the state of the nation's winsome singer-songwriting types, and dissing our Struan - can anyone confirm who the infidel Tucker could be so I can boycott their terrible music? Jim Gilmer, while ruminating with intelligence and sensitivity on beauty obviously forgot about the nightmare that is Daniella Westbrook. <shivers> Erm - how many times can Iris mention her boobies without having to send in a pic? Does it work by proxy - if, say, I were to talk about honey's silky, yielding thighs, would honey have to send in the pictures? Or would I have to scour my illicit photo collection in the hope that a sliver of flesh is visible through the waist-high slit in the ye-ye ballgown honey wore with such grace at Bowlie? Is it possible, do you think, to get withdrawal symptoms after not drinking any alcohol for 96 hours? I drink most days, though not usually very much, but this week I've been virtuous and haven't touched a drop since Sunday. And, since this morning, I've been shaking, throbbing in the temples and feeling woozy. Very strange. Still, one of my colleagues has resigned today, which seems to be cause for a celebration, so I'm hoping a lunchtime pint will cure all my ills. Jesus, that David Moore gets filthier every time! He's evidently seen Martin Robinson in action (but haven't we all?)...Chris Leonard doing a Live Show, that sounds right up my alley, etc. Mark xxx *isn't she great? ******************************************************************* The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
