Does malt vinegar go off? I thought it was wine that's already gone off? But my beans tasted funny and I'm sure it's from the vinegar in put on my chips. It's been in the sun. I hate working late. I aleays end up eating crap. And then it tasted funny. Not fair. I think working late's made me melancholy too. There was a drama on Radio 4 set on a farm in Gascogny, and the old farmer wouldn't buy a tractor - he still did all his ploughing with cows. As they trudged from the field he said, softly, 'nearly done'. Ostensibly it was to the cows, but the weariness in his voice let you know he was also talking to himself. I got a lump in my throat. Just before this drama they were talking about diaries and Judy Bloom (as in Le Pastie) came up, and in the next breath they used the phrase 'sinister dramas'. We're everywhere! I lost my IRC virginity yesterday with my first visit to #sinister, thanks to Ken's directions. Thanks so much to everyone who was in there for being so nice to such a useless newbie. It was *grate* and I'll soon be back. /me changes channel on the radio (Vel, that piece of paper I wrote your email address on has been taken by the evil pixies, so please send it me off-list. Pleeeease. Ta.) Adrian Glurp - I thought they wanked till they got what they wanted too. 'Spose 'whined' makes more sense though. And Astrid, by the time they made that song the drugs had obviously ceased to work for The Verve. Try their earlier stuff though, like The Verve EP or Storm in Heaven. A long way from twee, but still rather good. Finally, thanks to Cabbage for taking on the next picynic. I shall endevour to be there. Enjoy yourselves Love, PeetSketchSteve "Some bloke in a cardigan..." Oh yeah, nearly forgot... The subject line. I've just got some tix to see the Cowboy Junkies at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in Oct.
