...BAY LIKE A DONKEY AND CRAWL TO THE CORNER! GO ON, BAY LIKE A DONKEY OR I'LL MAKE YOU MY DOG'S BITCH! I'M THE DADDY NOW! SMELL THE GLOVE... ...Oh! hhahhhhahhaha! Hello Popkids, i didn't see you there. You really shouldn't sneak up on me when i'm reprimanding the staff. Now shoo! No, not you Popkids, the au pair. Go on Melody, shoo! (gosh i sound like Thom Yorke.) Hmm? Cold? No, she can get dressed outside. Now park yourselves on the chaise longue whilst i mix the drinks. Well. What have we been up to lately? I disappear for a few weeks to find my box swollen with digests. And there's nothing worse than a swollen box. I didn't read everything, but the main theme seems to have been German fighter aircraft. To wit, Messerschmitts. I'm not a Messer man meself. I'm more of a Fokker. What else? Well, no B&S tour dates or news, and precious little content. I expected nothing else though. Other heads above the parapet i feel like firing at - "Is anyone going to Scalarama on Saturday?" Yup. Me. Plus various fellow goons and goonesses. -"Is anyone going to the Delgados on Sunday? And are Cousteau any good?" Depends on the state i'm in (does that qualify as content?)after Scalarama. But yes, Cousteau are purdy good from the little i've heard. Although i was under the impression that the support acts were Clearlake and (eek!) The Incredible String Band. Probably more The Incontinent's String Pants these days, as they must be almost as old as Geri Halliwell. "discuss - Comics" - Welllllllll... I never thought much of Manning, Bowen liked a bit of bully, but Carson's the man. It was the way he told them. Fresh thought...Odd the way the old time, self proclaimed 'comics' appeared on 'The Comedians' yet 'Alternative Comedians' appeared in 'The Comic Strip', n'est pas? Non? Putains! final word - sorry to y'all who e-mailed me privately and then not had replies. Got a bit frisky with me delete button. Sinatra style comeback final word - go see Billy Elliot. Not as great as the press are making out but pleasing enough nonetheless. see ya on the other side. a.
