Sinister: Sons of Showaddywaddy
Am I right in thinking that another "son of Showaddywaddy"
once played football for Luton Town (and may still do)? Yes, Scott Oakes used to play for the 'Scum' (I'm a Watford fan!) - he now plays for Sheffield Wednesday.

I had decided to turn over a new leaf earlier today. I wasn't going to inflict anymore off-topic ramblings on anyone. But I am so impressed by the speed and efficiency of this answer that I am going to cast caution to the wind and ask a follow-up question...which member of Showaddywaddy was his dad? Also...Popcorn by Hot Butter is indeed the music that will forever be associated with little kids bouncing up and down on trampolines in their pants and vests. I've also rediscovered Fanfare for the Common Man by Emerson Lake and Palmer. It's stirring stuff, perfectly encapsulates mankind's daring and sporting prowess. I've almost remebered that golf music...another vintage keyboard extravaganza, am I correct? Like a more dynamic version of the theme from One Man and his Dog. Did you know that sheepdogs respond very well to instructions given by theremin? It's true. Hardly practical, but that's not the point. Before the remaining seven people unsubscribe, I've had a fantastic idea! Are we all familiar with The Rough Guide to Rock? If so you will have noticed the tragic lack of an entry for Belle and Sebastian. Perhaps we could have another competition, or maybe a collaborative effort, to come up with a potted history of the band and a bit of advice for newcomers to the band. If it's accepted it gets put on the internet version and eventually goes into a new edition of the print version, thereby solving all the author's financial problems. It would be a good way of sharing information, keep things vaguely on topic, and provide a bit of exposure for our favourite sixteen legged groove machine. I don't know enough about the band to have ago myself, but I'm sure there's lots of folk in the know on this list. It's just a thought. What do you reckon? Good idea or bloody stupid idea? Katrina is still winning the B&S quiz with one correct entry out of eight (Mick). Here are some clues: People who wear Star Wars t-shirts invariably eat Monster Munch. University students always eat alphabetti spaghetti to help them learn new words. Religiously inclined lyricists always eat fish on Friday because God insists on it. Reincarnations of Keith Moon need to be able to bang away like a man posessed for hours on end and think they're a Tunnock's Teacake at the same time. I'm afraid the rest are fairly interchangeable. Rice pudding makes your hair a bit curly. Erm...Seymour Stein once confused Worzel Gummidge with Johnny Marr... And that just leaves Bernard Cribbins.... Let's go for a little walk...ba bum ba bum...under the moon of love Were Showaddywaddy brickie rock? Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Bastard! I was about to do it and start my career in journalism to get away from all this computing lark. Oh well, now it's in the open, I am sure Rough Guide would accept a well-written entry. I will no longer sneak around and pretend I'm not doing it: second line of defence is this: that we take up Pete's idea, and produce a collaborative potted history together, with contributions from all who want, if this is possible, and, uniquely for the Rough Guide, make the author "The Sinister List". I bet they'd like that, we'd get free advertising (URL!) and maybe a tiny squidge of funding to do stuff like list badges or something (and I think it is tiny)? To further inhibit my chance at muso stardom, here's the place for those who don't know: http://www.roughguides.com/RG_WWW/rgmusic.html What does anyone else think? I hereby volunteer myself to accept first stabs at a history, amalgamate them, stick them on the WWW page, and then submit it back to you lot to sort out truth from myth (although a little myth helps sometimes too).

The previous quiz clues were downright vicious, but these, now these are some clues a man can sink his teeth into, aye!
People who wear Star Wars t-shirts invariably eat Monster Munch.
The uhh bassist guy Stevie
University students always eat alphabetti spaghetti to help them learn new words.
Isobel
Religiously inclined lyricists always eat fish on Friday because God insists on it.
Stuart M or D or arrghh. Stuart M Stuart M!
Reincarnations of Keith Moon need to be able to bang away like a man posessed for hours on end and think they're a Tunnock's Teacake at the same time.

I'm afraid the rest are fairly interchangeable. Rice pudding makes your hair a bit curly. Erm...Seymour Stein once confused Worzel Gummidge with Johnny Marr... And that just leaves Bernard Cribbins....
And the rest! Here on Bellensebastian's island! Nuts. I thought it would be easier with the new hints. phoo fran ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Two correct answers! Which, combined with Katrina's one correct answer, makes a total of three correct answers! Mick, Isobel and Stuart M's eating habits have all been correctly identified! Another clue: The Star Wars t-shirt was mentioned in a message to the list some time ago. The wearer was at a party in Edinburgh, probably nicking cans of lager and frightening the girls....or was that Keith? Quizmaster Pete, the Bob Holness of indie pop. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
