Oh and I don't work for Virgin I'm afraid, I'm afraid I work at a completely non-balooning company in Edinburgh programming computers. But the Air record's still excellent, even if it does mean subsidising balooning events.

Am I correct in thinking that Virgin Records no longer belongs to Mister Beardy Ballon features Branson? Or did I make it up? Anyway, I would like to say that Air are a load of shite, especially when compared to Air Supply, whose "I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you" is the best record in the short but eventful history of Australia. To be honest I haven't heard Air, but I like to put the hedge amongst the pickles.

Caught a look at Paul's photos from the Manchester gig which is cool and brings back memories, and then makes me remember who certain people are and stuff (bit of a haze the Saturday was)

Yes, congratulations Mister Forsyth. It is a very entertaining website, especially the listees bit. Keith is undeniably gorgeous, and David Kitchen is loveliness itself. The band members all seem to have changed a lot since September. Either that or my memory's playing up again. Chris's sidies weren't nearly as prominent, and Stevie didn't look like Ian Dury. Without wishing to bring up an old chestnut, I walked into my local Boots style shop this afternoon to buy a sponge to paint with and they were playing "The Drugs Don't Work" by Sir Dickie Ashcroft and it sounded very good indeed. Lent proceedings an air of epic grandeur that they don't usually have. Without wishing to bring up an old chestnut, I have just become the proud owner of the Nick Drake biography. I haven't read much yet, and what I have read is about the Titanic, but I feel a bit like those kids who used to start crying even before "E.T." had started. It's very sad before the sad bit even gets under way. Regards, Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
