Sinister: Top of the Pops and the last mention of Leicester's finest teddy boy combo.

I hope Belle and Sebastian do get the oppurtunity to grace
the TOTP stage. I don't know what it's like now, so I don't
know if they'd be an antidote to anything or not. Many years
ago TOTP was sort of important, and even if it's shit now, I
for one would jump at the chance of being on it, if only for
the oppurtunity of telling my grandchildren about it. My
Aunty Ann has been dining out for years on the fact that Ted
"3,2,1" Rogers once asked her out. She turned him down.

If anyonne wants to see how the mighty are fallen, check out
the following link. Apparently 23 pages contain the word
Showaddywaddy, and this little gem is one of them. Isn't
that Isobel and Sarah sitting on the floor in the front row? And that
looks suspiciously like Stuart Murdoch in a tangerine frightwig.

The other important reference point for seekers of
Showaddywaddy-isms is the song "A Little Bit of Soap" by De
La Soul, which (if I'm not embarrassingly mistaken) contains
a sample of our new heroes just before the fade out. I
wonder if their lawyers are as good as James Brown's.

So that's why some of the messages come twice! I thought it
was Bill Gates' fault. I'll try my best, but please bear in
mind that I've only just learnt not to send all the messages
to Paul instead of the list.
