Sinister: Blimey!

[oc245d8aff at xxx.net]

Look what I found when checking out the runners and riders
for this year's Booker Prize:

"A network of tunnels, a subterranean world of drives and
pathways, has just been completed beneath the Duke's estate,
but His Grace is far from happy."

Sounds cheerful enough to me this evening. The kids must've
behaved themselves at school today. Extra marks for
mentioning Fife's finest darts player, who's got an
Argentinian wife. I agree wholeheartedly with your eloquent
defence of TOTP. If it were consistently brilliant, the
special moments wouldn't stick in our memories so much, The
Smiths freaking out the entire nation, Nirvana being daft,
Joe Dolce (or was that a recording?), the list could go on
and on, but fortunately my memory's on the blink.

I remember Dexy's being interviewed about that album on The
Tube (I think). Another case of freaking out the entire
nation.

I like the name Top of the Pops. Reminds me of Jimmy
Saville.

They perform live now. Was Duke's New Order quote a
deliberate reference to their insistence on playing live on
TOTP, back in the days when it was considered ridiculous?
That was the song they did wasn't it?

Belle and Sebastian have been described as "exquisite" in a
Spanish magazine. Have I said that before?

Daisy, Daisy...
