Sing hosannah! There was top comedy on the list today, provided by Jess, whose line "She died in front of her full-length colostomy bag" would ordinarily have been my quote of the week, but for the snippet from the Moose site which Rachael presented, which I sent to everyone in my office and now they think I'm a weirdo. What a shame, then, that the usually reliable Brad spoiled everything by these flagrant words of dispespect to the List's equivalent of a Chelsea Pensioner:

so duke ain't around anymore, huh? i hated that cocky shithead >anyway. glad to see he's fucked off and let us be. always going on >about his jasmine minks and felt this and felt that. good riddance!

Brad, this man fought and died for us in what is now known as the War of the Stone Roses, and this is how you thank him? Wear your P!O!Ppy with pride. Those of you who still want to get their daily duke dose are directed to the Shalala mailing list where him and other veterans talk about the good old days, without the distractions of such low brow trivia as smut, crushes or, apparently, women.

is st-lucy still inspiring lust?

She seems to be. And she wants you to know that neither of you should have bothered cos she only has eyes for the Peter Miller, el Guapo. She said something about wanting to recreate the final scene from Pedro Almodovar's "Matador" with him, and that, even though he clearly isn't a Basque separatist, he can seperate her from her basque any time he wants. She also said some very hurtful things to me about my sudden decrease in list crushes, and so I've enlisted the help of Sergeant Rock Watson. If I could only be tough like him, then I could win... my own...small...battle of the sexes. The Workshy Fop Warrender asked if we all still hated Steven Wells. Not at all. Did anyone see his review of Atari Teenage Riot in NME where he suggested that they sampled the death cries of Belle and Sebastian fans? How nice of him to think of us. I once spent a delightful New Year's Eve in the company of Atari's Alec Empire, there were nine of us in his VW Jetta, hurtling round East Berlin. He's a very nice young man actually, although he did keep asking me the best way to provoke the British when they toured here. Later we went to a club where a young Berliner, possibly high on drugs, kept telling me how he wanted "to lick a voman", while looking intently at my girlfriend. Ah...memories.
