I don't suppose any of you Robert Plants and Rula Lenskas
out there in pop land have got a tape of this interview have
you? It would make my day.

By the by, I finally obtained the much sought after Ladies
and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space today. So thanks to
all my little helpers out there over the last few months. I
still think it's a daft package. Had the check-out woman
well confused, much to my embarrassment, but gave 'er indoors a good
laugh, so thumbs up to the much maligned Mister Spaceman.

Whilst ploughing through a tedious article about the wonderful work of
A&R men, I stumbled across the information that members of B&S played
football during the In the City knees-up against a team of dirty English
A&R types. Are there any witnesses? Who played? Did they score? Did
Sarah have to take her roller skates of to play?

Archie, I have mislaid your address. What a silly billy!
