B&S producer Mike Hurst has not only worked with PP Arnold, the First Lady of Immediate, he's also worked with the First Lady of Big Knockers, former top model and forces sweetheart Samantha Fox. I wonder if he told Isobel? Here's the evidence, as supplied by private detective Stiffy Magoo: http://www.zakstarkey.com/sfx.html Hursty also produced The Buggles, thus influencing Trevor Horn and changing the face of pop. So fear not, Robin Stout. Pet Clark cool is just a small part of Hursty's career. I take back what I said about "I Heard It Through The Grapevine". It was really stupid, even by my standards. I've only seen two Hal Hartley films, one was OK, the other was a bit ropey. Brier, I only heard about twenty seconds of "69 Love Songs", so yes, I suppose I was kidding. Sort of. On Saturday we had a fantastic Sinister picnic. Jordi wore his Gentle Waves badge, I wore my bus t-shirt. Maria gave me chocolate, for which I will be eternally grateful. Noisette, no less. Isn't that half of a Cocteau Twins song? Elenita99 is going to London, so get ready. As usual, we talked about YOU. We decided that you were a right bunch of puffs. On Sunday I saw "Billy Elliot". Up yours "Gregory's Girl"! It's nice to see that great band Tompaulin getting a few mentions on the list again. A few weeks ago I mistakenly called them "sad sack of arse bastards". I hope I didn't cause any offence. I was, of course, referring to those insufferable puddings, It's Jo and Danny. Baxendale for Prime Minister!
