RE: Sinister: 10 Roddington Place
The lovely Adrianne wrote: And then there was Rene Arnoux. I'm sorry, how can such a glamorous team as Ferrari go with a driver called Rene ? He's clearly never going to win a thing with a name like that, and for that and that alone I vote Linda's Honeypet should be called Rene or Arnoux or Rene Arnoux or Ferrari or Enzo or Enzo Ferrari or shut up Adrian. Does anyone remember Rene Arnoux's performance on Superstars? He was short and unfit and came in about half an hour after everyone else in the hundred metres dash. Not a patch on Brian Jacks. Where are they now? And wasn't Rene with Renault? Superstars, what a great programme. I wonder how much they got paid? Wriggling synth tunes? Just how wriggling? Higgledy piggledy ne'er do well wriggling or sinuous snakey sexy song snake wriggling? So, our old friend Mister Waronker has moved on to Dreamworks, eh? Now THERE'S a definitive story I would like to read. I can't really imagine McCarthy being a thrill a minute, unless someone makes it all up. Has anyone got that Cherry Red book, every indie pop release of the 80s or something? And has anyone seen the B&S entry in the Virgin Book of Alternative Rock? It's not very good. Perhaps this topic was covered while I was away. In which case, mea extrema culpa. The Smiths are underrated. Their time will come. Thanks for that charming pen portrait of Baronet Roddington on patrol at T in the Park. I am relieved to hear it's only his sister in the purple frightwig, and he won't be breeding just yet. I don't know, Popgob, endless reams of press coverage, and now making records in his bedroom! We certainly are lucky on this list to have our very own Jonathan King. Long may he reign!

a pack of gitanes, allegedly. actually that's why rene always came in last, he smoked too many fags. yeah, he drove a renault for a while, and it always blew up. he did win in one at monza though, beating tambay in a ferrari, but the tifosi forgave him because he was going to drive for them the next year. i think he might even have wona race or two for them, but then he got dumped and went to ligier when they were crap and even jacques laffitre when he was, like, 50, was quicker than him. Brian Jacks? short dumpy geezer, right? Judo man. Not a patch on Jody Scheckter, who won the first international superstars. i always laughed at them in the bike races because they rode like schoolkids, or gringos as we used to call them.

i might make it all up in a week or so, i'll see how my schedule goes. it might be amusing trying to equate a love of the pet shop boys with revolutionary communism.
