Sinister: If there's meat pies on her nipples it must be England
So said Pete... -- Christ, mate - not even the go-go dancers in Wigan wear pasties on their nipples. Meat pies, maybe, but I don't think any of them have sunk as low as pasties yet. Oh, the joy of words that mean different things at different sides of the pond. I suppose my pervious statement (and hence previous post on the subject) deserves some explanation. For those of you not used to going to the pie shop and ordering a pastie on a friday for lunch, a pastie (over here at least) is a sort-of pretender to the throne of the all-conquering meat pie. It's essentially a pastry wrapping around a filling of meat and potato or cheese and onion, and it comes in two main forms, "cornish" or "puff". A Cornish pastie has your average inch-and-a-half thick, solid as a rock pastry round it, and Puff Pasties have kind of more of a filoux (referred to as "puff") pastry. -- This is all very well and good but it only begs the question (well in my mind anyhoo) "What do you call the little things UK go-go dancers wear over their nipples?" I'm not about to go look at any UK stripping sites to find out either, what fun would that be. I think the closest thing we have to puff pasties are spanikopitas, very delicious spinach pies of Greek/Med. origin. This sounds like the UK version of the wrapped savory dish though a la egg rolls, burritos, knishes, ravioli, gyros, etc. So I'm to understand the go-go dancers in Wigan are of low quality over there? Perhaps some Wigan dancers on the list would like to defend themselves...? (I'm not holding my breath) I think I remember in my young non-global mind thinking Big Country were really really strange. "They're Scottish? But...they have a black guy in it!" (I thought only the US and Africa were privy to black populations....this was before I knew about imperialism and the like...or before my mind could handle such a mind-blowing concept as a black person with a Scottish accent) I don't think I even liked them the first time around. Man, I was so stupid then. But weren't we all. Now, bring on the Proclaimers reunion to accompany the apocalypse...

Erm, dunno, really. Tassles? Elastoplast? Could be anything.....

Most of them have beards, underarm hair and whippets. And that's whippets as in the dogs that are closely related to greyhounds rather than the term for the five-second high you get if you snort the gas from a whipped-cream can. Actually I can't remember any places in Wigan that would have go-go dancers. They possibly had some at the Wigan Casino, but that got burnt down when I was still a nipper.

God in heaven help us. I don't even think that the combined musical talents of B&S could save such a dirge as "A Letter From America". As for their version of "King of The Road", well, I don't think I'm going to comment, as it's apparently very hard to type after you've thrown up on your keyboard. Ho-hum. Bit of B&S content for a change - you will all no doubt be glad to know that more than one person in the office has threatened to hang, draw and quarter me this morning if i even contemplate whistling "This Is Just A Modern Rock Song" again. I've tried to persuade them that it really isn't my fault, and that anyway, it's bloody good so there, but they're having none of it. I tell you, it's like the pogroms or something in here. I'm getting victimized for my musical beliefs. Or maybe it's just for the fact that I blatantly can't whistle. Anyhow, I recieved the aforementioned eepee on wednesday with my medium "Study at Stow" teeshirt (it really should have been a large, I think - I now know how a can of baked beans feels - and is it just me, or does anyone else think that light blue is not the best colour in the world when you get sweat patches??) along with Dog on Wheels, and TIJAMRS hasn't really been out of my cd player ever since. Rapidly becoming my fave track. Now how does it go again......pffffft, pffffft, pffffft, pffAAAAAAARGH. I wonder if they have email in casualty?? lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- "Edgar Malroy said, 'A supermarket trolley that believes in God,' and then burst out laughing.
