Hello kids,
<<I'll turd that (as they say in Ballykiss-a), my good lady is from a very
well-to-do place just outside of Bognorcyrillegregis full of very nice
wealthy people.>>

Agghh! leave me alone! It was a only a joke. Of course I don't hate sussex.
much. 
I found this on the Chemikal Underground list, which is shite, to be honest,
but occasionally something good comes up. That was where the ''Biscuit
nibbling..''  thing started. They're not as 'ickle and cuddly and soft as us.
Their list's also a fuckin' nail, as I believe the expression goes.

confirmed:  the spikes are pointing inwards.   It's quite difficult to imagine
what would be the use the other way around.>>

Fantastic! So there we are. I'm not entirely sure what they're talking about
(they could be talking about the new Stereolab packaging as far as I know),
but I have a fair idea. So next time someone asks *that* particular question,
I'll send them this, and let them work it out.
     God! It's nice to come home.

            Wasn't Lord Snooty's Christian name Anthony? I could be wrong, of
course. Why the angelic struan would want to write a song about that little
shit is beyond me... 
            Snooty used to treat his 'pals' like pets, and you could see the
anger and jealousy in their eyes, as the twat in the (top) hat pranced about
his castle. 'Your day will come, Snooty', I used to growl, smudging out his
newsprint face, with my thumb. 'You cannot deny the wishes of the people any
longer.' Eventually, of course, his day did come. The stalinesque DC Thompson
& son wiped all image and memory of Tony Snooty from the pages of the Beano.
And replaced him with MC Techno, the right-on invisible flying ragga Animal
Hospital Vet. Or something. Tsk.
     And now I think maybe my anger was misplaced. Can the inheritors of
priviledge really be blamed for their fortune? It must be difficult to meet
true friends when you're a lord- certainly, being called Snooty can't help. As
I turn the pages of the new, glossy comic, I wonder; where do beano stars go
to die? A tear drops onto the page, and sits, intact- a perfect dome on the
page. The new paper won't soak up tears.
