i feel i'm being stereo-typed here!

i live in one of those council estates, 19 floors up in fact with a place in the
skies.

and what's worse, i got called a 'module' in the previous message!!
i mean, even throughout my brushings with menswe at r i wasn't called a 'module'. i
bet this was some fictional thing the press thought up.

my thoughts on the matter? if you haven't lived through it, then don't take the
press word on it.

to bring this into perspective... what's going to be said about us and b&s in five
years? what will they name us? the cardie-wearing-biscuit-nibbling bedroom
phenomenon of the mid/late-nineties? and what gives them the right to say anything
about us when they were probably not here, at this moment and living this the way
we are?

just a thought, you know.

don't shoot the messenger and all that :)

PS: and katrina was a shoegazer you know, and i took to her warmly.
