Well, that saved me the trouble of trying to find a "nice" way to say the same thing without appearing to tell people what to do, like a mean fucker. The list appears to be doing the dying fly at the moment, lots of legs waving in the air, but not much substance. My mum wouldn't let me watch Tiswas, except when Tarzan was on. Fat lot of good it did her, I must say. Anyway, I digress. I put the list malaise down to the novelty factor of the Sha-La-La list. I feel like an East German refugee clambering over the fence into the American Embassy compound, only to find it a chaotic quagmire. I'd try and reassure people, but it would be like Nicolae Ceaucescu shushing the multitude from his palace balcony. All I can suggest is to hang on in there baby. I hope the rearguard troops uphold the regiment's name, and the citizens who have defecated to the Sha-La-La Republic remember to come back from time to time. We miss you. remember you're quite welcome to talk about things other than buses on this list, should you get the urge. For instance, you can talk about council house dwellers. I was deeply moved my the far-fetched notion that there is warmth and humanity in council houses, I always thought it was the exclusive right of Margot and Jerry from "The Good Life". On Monday I went to the pictures and it was a feelgood film about council house scum called "My Name is Joey" and it was good and it was in Glasgow and there's a football pitch in it like the one in "Gregory's Girl", an orange one. Yestarday I went to the pictures and it was a feelgood film from Japan called "Hana-Bi" and it was very good, most unusual. Today I'm not going to the pictures. I have noticed that my crystal ball has been on good form lately. Everyone loves the film "Happiness". Have you seen it, Brad? I think you'd like it, it contains some good ideas for what to do with leftover bodily fluids. Well, one good idea. Also, the once mighty Juventus football team have chickened out of playing Turkish superstars Galatassary. I think they should just forfeit the points. Bob Holness seems to have come up with the goods, I knew he wouldn't let me down! Unfortunately I didn't hear "Anything Goes" and I found my address book anyway, but it's nice to know it was on. I'm not in Chile though, my long-lost friend is. Or was. I love Bob Holness. It's a shame his reputation is based almost entirely on the saxophone solo from Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". Excellent poem, Stout Robin. I heard Mercury Rev on the radio, it was very nice and festive, just right for this time of year. Typically, it's not out here yet, so I'm planning to purchase a 3 Cd Tito Puente compilation. It's written in the stars. Afro-Cuban jazz is the tenth type of music I'm hoping to like.

I lust after that Keith Moon biog, I bet there's a picture of his mum, Mrs Moon the Loon, in it, bouncing her bonny wee laddie on her lap. The Ox never really realised that Moon the Loon was gone until he saw Mrs Moon the Loon senior crying at the funeral. I realise that is slightly off-topic, but I'm hoping Keith Watson will take the bait and we can continue our attemopt to transcribe the interview sections of "30 Years of Maximum R&B" in their entirety on the list. I love The WHO. I'd better go now.
