Dear sinister, Some terribly exciting things happened in the past couple of days. First of all on Wednesday, I saw a Helicopter taking off from the middle of Oxford Street - it was the London Emergency Medical Helicopter, no less, that I've once seen on an exciting TV show called "Situation Critical", during which it had played an important role of turning the tide in all kinds of losing life-or-death situations. I didn't find out what the emergency was that day though, but I think it involved a bus. Second of all yesterday, I was in a situation where I could have saved a desperate man from missing his plane, by lending him £12.50. You see he needed to take a coach from Victoria Station to Gatwick Airport in London, unfortunately I didn't have any money on me. The poor man, he didn't even realise that the plane ticket in his hand was fake, and that the London Underground platform he was on takes him to the total opposite direction to Victoria. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that he was a con-man... Third of all last night, there was a John Peel session, with Belle and Sebastian on it. At first I thought B&S have taken on a totally new direction in their music, by playing drum and bass, but then I realised that it was actually one of the shit records that Mr Peel put on. Later on my heart was put at rest when my beloved B&S played one of their classic Bossa Nova tunes, and I was a relieved man, thank God our heroes are still as bonkers as ever. There were a couple of archetypal Stuart tracks to keep the punters happy though, including one apparently to be from the now obligatory "I don't love you anymore Isobel ner ner ner" genre called "you don't upset me"(?). Fourth of all recently, I have acquired a work e-mail address!! About time too, and my beloved List mummies have given me private tuitions to speed me through the nursery school. I'm a big kid now! So you should all write me to this e-mail address during the day-time to keep me from working. However crush votes should still go to pykachu100@hotmail.com! Fifth of all a few days ago, thank you very much for giving me a crush vote, whoever kind soul who sent me one the last time! You should reveal yourself. Sixth of all now, it's almost finish work time! So I'll be off for karaoke, then.
