Incidentally, I had to post this letter cause MILLER cheated himself by posting a letter to the list *about* the fact that I cheated. And incidentally, it wasn't a :-) MILLER, it was a ;-) - a *wink*, that's right, I once winked at a pastels gig.
ooh, saucy! at any rate, Keith should be suspended for occasionally posting sensible, nice, HELPFUL messages. Kelly, I'm no good for you. Don't let that photo fool you. I'm not as adorable as I might seem. I hang around in public lavatories, drink ham shandies and I think Arab Strap are better than Belle and Sebastian because they accurately reflect my lifestyle. ;-). And the missus won't let me marry you anyway ;-). In case you didn't get that, I'll just repeat it one more time ;-). Okay? Enough of this foolishness. ;-). I'd just like to say, don't be put off The Trial by all that nonsense about it being a metaphor for life. Not a jot of it. It is in fact top comedy, not unlike Frank Spencer or Fawlty Towers. I won't pretend it's an easy read, but it is funny, a really good book, none of that poncey shite. In fact I think I'll read it again. you never know, I might finish the other two as well ;-) Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

top notch. The Trial is indeed a grand read. Take a copy wherever you go and chuckles on buses and trains the world over will be yours forever... guaranteed. Actually our school drama teacher wrote last years production based loosely around The Trial. It certainly made as much sense, and was, if possible, even funnier. Especially the bit where K lined up in a 'Usual Suspects' type scene and was identified by Vanessa doing her blind woman routine. A riot, no less. Actually it had almost bugger all to do with The Trial except the lead character was called K and it had some theme about struggle and fate and all sorts of stuff i didn't understand. It was really more about film noir. Nick, who wrote it, nicked all these lines from old movies. it was hilarious. Josef K are the best band ever to take their name from a Kafka book. I bet Stuart Murdoch loves Josef K... well he's into Postcard so he must. What a sign of class. keep the faith, the duke. PS did all the copies of my postcard count in my total? -- i'm not brave, i'm not special, i'm not any of those things. ------------------------------- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

so how about a strand based on the best band names taken from books (a suggestion made in palpable desperation for something interesting to talk about) but then, i'd forgotten: nobody takes any notice of my mails (sulk) (an isolated) espadrille ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'm always impressed that you post first thing in the morning, whereas everybody else on the list takes until about 2.00 to wake up. C. On Thu, 7 May 1998, A.M. Horne wrote:

well i've got a thesis to write by the end of june (and i ought to be writing it now). but the downside of being up so early is that there are no late nights for me.

how about 'rollerskate skinny' - from the great 'catcher in the rye' that has to be my favourite. it's how holden describes his sister phoebe. ah yes, the picnic - it was one of the best afternoons i've had all year, despite my utterly disastrous football attempts. i won't bore you with details that you've heard already though, just to say hi to everyone i met - you're all lovely people, you know. i don't think i'll be able to make the next one :( 'cos of exams and all - let's have more later on in the summer though. ah well, things to do rob x
