Hmmmmm I really can't comment on Wigan's range of exotic dancers, but I'm sure they're adding to the local economy by bringing in tourists from far & wide to marvel at their creative use of pastries and other meaty smallgoods. No doubt Channel 5 is working on a documentary about this phenomenon as we speak. Sadly I too have fallen into the "Medium Study at Stow T-Shirt" trap. I don't feel too much of a victim as it fits OK and I can wear it without fear of social ridicule ... but I still think that I should've gone for a large to allow for a bit of future expansion. I'm not going to buy a new one though so I think I'll start going to the gym again instead. I spotted a fellow Stow t-shirt wearer in Tottenham Crt Tube station on Saturday arvo but where to surprised to offer any congratulations or words of encouragement. So if you were that mystery B&S fan then "Well done Sir". Whistle while you work ? - errr maybe not. Cheerio, Craig xcx

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.

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

...

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)

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.

...

Now, bring on the Proclaimers reunion to accompany the apocalypse...

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??
