Sinister: 10 Roddington Place

[PJMiller]

Poundcake: Up until about three days ago I wouls have had no idea what this
was. But now I know that it's madeira cake. Dangerously tasty stuff,
available with slick production and great packaging throughout Central
Europe on the Mildred label, straight outta Germany, I believe. Well worth
investigation. Alternatively, bake your own cake in your bedroom!

List crishes: Mine's Elisabeth. And Andreas. Elisabeth told us some stuff
about the Zombies. If you're in need of something to read, here's the story
of Zombie Heaven:

It is a passionless discourse, but informative. At this point I would
normally claim that I prefer Argent to the Zombies, but I've never heard
them. But I have heard Colin Blunstone's version of "Say You Don't Mind" by
my favourite racing driver, Denny Laine. Which is blissful in the extreme.
Shame I haven't got it either. Come to think of it, I haven't got any
Zombies. I've got a crush on Andreas because of his nice summer wishes for
us all. The same to you, Andreas. We hope to have you back soon, refreshed
and reinvigorated.

But I have got some Kinks. On tape. Even hardened Viet-Kong veterans such as
myself are reduced to blubbering wrecks by the beautiful song "Do You
Remember Walter?". It's far too sad for human consumption. As is "Thirteen"
by Big Star, not really a twee tale about young love, at least not if you
believe what you're told. As I always do.

Roddd, you made me laugh today. I can't remeber why now, but it was funny.

I like to think that "Knock on Wood " was a sly reference to Brother Eddie
Floyd, who will be performing here soon. Unfortunately he's special guest
vocalist with the Blues Brothers band, so I don't think I'll be going. Then
again, it might be my only chance to be in the same room as one of the stars
of my favourite film ever, "Wattstax". It's a tricky one. I digress.

One last point: A couple of weeks ago our W*rld C*p fun was spoilt by a few
outbursts of unsightly nationalism. You may remember that I was actively
anti-nationalist, but I didn't go into the reasons in any depth. I think now
is the time to reveal all. You see, I don't have any strong national
identity, I'm a mixture. I'm the fruit of an illicit encounter between a
Croatian potato leper and the French agriculture minister, making me half
French-half Croatian. There, I'm glad I got that off my chest.
