We've just had a visit from the lavatory inspector. I kid you not. He accused us of leaking inadvertently. Oh well. All of which has made me forget what I was going to say...oh yes, Keith asked if Godzooky appears in Godzilla. Yes, he bloody well does, along with about 200 brothers and sisters, all of which hatch out from their shells in Madison Square Gardens, and you don't need me to tell you the kind of havoc they could wreak out on the streets of New York. Mark Kolmar wrote: It did seem odd to me that a band which invokes such strong feelings of being the odd, sensitive kid in school would not do all-ages shows. ("Belle and Sebastian...playing songs for children") Obviously they have a decent number of fans under 19 or 18. I bet it's got more to do with promotors than the band memebers themselves. It would be a bit difficult for them to vet each venue personally when they're so far away from home. I suspect there's nothing Stuart Murdoch likes more than entertaining rooms full of squealing schoolgirls, so I'm sure he'll be just as upset as the rest of you, and might be persuaded to do an acoustic spot at your school assembley to redress the balance.

That's what my mum would think anyway.

I thought the thing about S sounds was going a bit too far as well, I mean, the same thing happens on the bus. As for saying what things sound like, I don't really have a problem with that, because I don't require 100% originality, which is just as welll, because it doesn't exist, when you think something sounds like nothing on earth it's usuually because you haven't heard what it sounds like. So, at least for me, it's just a bit of fun, and in no way a criticism of the band or anything like that. You've got to pick a pocket or two. McRagtag McRote Scropton is conveniently located, a matter of minutes from East Midlands International Airport. Our very own Little Peter Miller, himself a native of the area, surely spent many happy days there as a youth, playing snakes and ladders, headers and volleys, doctors and nurses and other carefree childhood pursuits. Indeed, East Mid (to its friends) airport played a formative role in my childhood, mainly as the destination of choice for ridiculously long bike rides. Headers and volleys rules. I watched Real Sociedad against Sparta Prague last night, two of my adopted teams. It was good, better than Godzilla. I don't know where Scropton is. Has it got a shop? I think that's it for now, Peter +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
