Man?  What kind of talk is that? you big bloody hippy.  The word is
dude (no it isn't).

Hurray.  That's a much better word.

Not-quite-indie ethos.  Yeah, that is one way of putting it.  Smile
can be beautiful, drunken anarchy, but with attitude and immaculate
taste (mostly, there are exceptions - My Life Story being one of
them).

No, the word isn't lucky.

Did you do fall asleep?  You drunken, mad, beautiful fool.
Pete-Wiggs-a-likes, hahahaha.  Apparently said guy saw Pete Wiggs in
London and tapped him on the shoulder, Pete turned round and said
'fuckin' ell' cos he thought he'd met his doppelganger.  But he never
got confused with Mick Hucknall in Pizza Hut as someone very dear to
me did rather bizarrely (OK, it was me).

This is one of those strange coincidences that happens in life from
time to time, which brings me to good news, bad news time (as the
Krankies used to say on Crackerjack).  The bad news is 'Smile'
probably won't be happening on 27th December (awwwww....), the good
news is that the much-mooted After Show party, and Smile may well be
connected in some way (woohoo!).  Naaa, I've said too much.  It's
being worked on and you, the kids, will be the first to know.

By the way, I don't work for 'Smile', I just do their press, haha.

Love and kisses,

Incidentally, which of you said you had to be bored to go to
Manchester at 3 in the morning?  Pah.
