Sinister: on-topic post shocker

[poetryplace2]

Tim 'I am a truck' Hopkins burbled:

>'Appearing 18-Nov-96'. On the back, though, it gets good, saying...

>'Everything that made me want a career in the music business and most of

>Belle & Sebastian play the Borderline on the 11th Nov.'

It's interesting to note that this is actually written by Scott Piering, the
guy who played a major role in the early career of some bunch of losers
called The Smiths (whatever happened to them?), and who is, by all accounts
a totally diamond geezer.

While I'm here, can I pass on a message from Megan 'Da Mink' Lehar, to
everyone who knows her? (Oooh, I felt like I was on Swap Shop as I typed
that.) Well, just to let everyone know she arrived safely on Tuesday,
bringing a heatwave to London with her, and completed a thorough tour of
Bermondsey's wonderful crack houses. She is, as I write, catching the train
to Jockoland to meet the Edinburgh posse. "There can be only one" she told
me as she left for Kings Cross this morning.
