Couldn't think of anything to put in the subject box, but you know how sometimes you start thinking about a word so much it detaches itself from it's meaning and then just the sound of the word makes you laugh because it's a bit funny? I had that with plums yesterday. So, first of all, howdy to everybody I saw at the picnic (can only remember Erica and Geoff but please don't be offended if I can't remember your name, as I'm generally appalling at that sort of thing, but I do have detailed pictures in my memory of your faces and what type of spectacles you were wearing). Sorry I couldn't stay long but, as it was my sister who suggested we go for a picnic on Primrose Hill, I couldn't forgo Quality Time with her in order to sit around boozing, could I? Besides, she did me a massive favour by holding my hand and helping me through shyness. You probably guessed from the fact that she was wearing DKNY trainers that she is not much of a B&S fan. I did play her SOT&F but she said "The singer sounds like Kermit's little brother Robin". Ouch. Maybe I should have played something that sounds a bit jollier like String Bean Jean, but the damage is done now. Or maybe the damage was done when she bought Wham's greatest hits. In answer to Mr Watson's query, I have never worked at a certain sea-front club in Blackpool. I do go to Blackers regularly when I can find the time in my busy schedule, but I generally play clubs in seedy backstreets. USELESS TRIVIA CORNER Nice to see Soho's Hippy Chick got a mention - I still have a video of them performing it on Top of the Pops somewhere - they wore bright orange tent-dresses with bright blue neck-ties. Their drummer went on to join The Bluetones. I kid you not. RADIO It is my impression that there are a few ex-student radio types out there. It is also my impression that there is sod-all decent radio in London. Anyone fancy starting Sinister FM? That's all folks Juicy Lucy Confucious Say: Walk on sunny side of street, other side wet. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
