So I got in last night to find FunkySeb throwing up in my living room. Fortunately he was on tv at the time, appearing as a "pikey" on The Bill. He was sporting a not-terribly-becoming nose ring, the kind that bulls wear. As to his acting, I cannot comment. Maybe it was *supposed* to seem like a Children's Film Foundation performance. It was quite an interesting evening of television, all told. The Royle Family returned in mighty fashion, and then they used the Tindersticks "Tiny Tears" on The Sopranos. After that we watched a peculiar program about the history of hip hop which seemed to claim that the form was invented by Michael Caine, The Shadows and Deborah Harry. Curioser and curioser. How come nobody talks about Spearmint on this list? I may be mental, but their new LP is the best British record I've heard all year. Martin Gardner said:

I really like the smell of new trousers.

Which is the best chat-up line I've heard since Toby Titwank's performance on Saturday. Some of you may be asking "hey, dr pants, what on earth has happened to the new issue of trousercuts, the magazine for men who dig the latest in postmodern Japanese fiction, but also get off on stories about old men wanking off dogs?". Well, God willing I will finish it today, and if any of you are at Track and Field tonight, I might give you one. Until we meet again Stevie Trousers xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
