Sinister: Troutfishing in Chorlton Cum Hardy

[Tag]

Jeez,

What's going on?  I'm now getting as many digests as I was getting
mails two weeks ago.  Don't you people ever sleep?

Yes!  Yes!  Richard Brautigan rules!  Go and read 'Tokyo-Montana
Express' and then tell me I'm wrong.

Repeated?  I only said it once.  Are you calling me boring?  I'm a
pale and interesting redhead, so go tell that to your so called
Plastic Population.

Please stop reading the so-called funny pages in the music press
because they make you sound like Steve Lamacq.

He's really blown it now, hasn't he?

Northy's world is a strange and troubled one.

You know you can push your luck too far, Sonny.

It's a euphemism for felching.  It's obvious.

Ah, Guy Chadwick.  Who can forget his lyrical insights 'I slip through
sand just like water and sand', 'it feels like summer, gosh my skin's
so itchy' (that one was about Hiroshima, believe it or not), 'and now
I know why I love my wife'.  What a poet, what an artist, what a
prick.

Talking of poets, did anyone read about Jim Morisson being a habitual
bed wetter - I haven't laughed so much since the 'Come to Daddy'
video.

Peter Miller is in his late twenties.

I gather that the Duke was too busy 'nibbling on Stuart Murdoch's
vegetable burrito'.  For the benefit of our American friends, this is
also a euphemism.

Love to all,
Trout Sebastian McTaggart
