Hello Sinister colleagues Thought I'd post despite the fact that I've not much to say because my inbox has been strangely quiet in recent weeks (oo-er missus). You must all be off gazing at clouds, developing crushes on cute people in bookshops and writing ill-advised poetry about Stuart's cankles. If indeed Stuart has cankles. All this talk of the Pixies was good. They were, and still are, one of my favourite bands. Does nobody remember "Come On Pilgrim" though? Early album that I've got on vinyl somewhere containing the seminal "Caribou". Top drawer stuff and no mistake with a hairy-backed guy on the cover to boot. "Complete B-Sides"?? "The Purple Tapes"?? anyone, or am I just an indie snob nazi elitist? I tell you what; that, um, "spaghetti" post made me wince. Yikes! And on a related note, you can't buy alphabetti spaghetti anywhere anymore. We were talking about it, so I looked last time I did my shopping (5 crates of Carling, 48 tins of Heinz Vegetable Soup, bread, milk)and it was nowhere to be seen. I wouldn't touch the pap myself but still.... I felt a bit sad. Oooh, I knew I had news. I've got a blind date on friday or saturday! I've not had one of these for, *thinks* well, I've never had one, but I talked to her for about an hour last night and we got on really well. Not had the music conversation yet in any detail but she could be a B&S type. Keep your fingers crossed for me please :o) It's either a nice meal on friday night or an all day drinking binge, interspersed with the Nottingham Forest - Sheffield United match on saturday. Nobody can tell me I don't know how to impress the laydeez! Hopeless case, yes I know. If you are doing the cankle poem, here are a list of words that rhyme. Ankle (obviously), Frankel, Hankel, Shankle and Sprankle. There's an amusing thing called a wankel rotary engine too - you can get that in there somewhere I'm sure, resourceful and intelligent people like you. Please send me any examples, I'll stick them on me wall. Take care you carazy kids. Love and shankles Dean XX ps Don't suppose anyone's interested but we were discussing our favourite underwear (on women ya pervs) and that came out on top for me by the proverbial country mile.
