>Who is Fenella the Witch?


At the risk of starting another kid's tv stampede, Fenella the Witch was the
arch villain, the no-goodnik, the bad egg, in the delightful program
'Chorlton and the Wheelies'. This featured the young Bobby MacTaggart riding
around the Manchester suburb on his Chopper bicycle, with his bosom buddy,
Julian riding shotgun. Fenella the witch was played by none other than the
lovely Cerys from Catatonia.

I haven't posted for a while have I? I've been on me hols, luring
international travellers back to my flat to look at my big painting of a
nudey man. The duck-billed twattybus meets with my approval, of course. I
especially like the way that for a few seconds on 'Chicktractor', after
Stevie sings 'She's 5 hours behind', it sounds like Nico has contributed
backing vocals from beyond the grave. I also like the way that 'Simple
Minds' starts off like it is going to turn into Suzanne Vega's 1986 chart
smash 'Left of Centre'.

I am currently preparing my latest exciting competition, so get your
thinking caps on!

Mr Love Pants
