Sinister: The truth about St.Etienne

St.Etienne are not, as has been reported on this list, a band or a football
team.  The real St.Etienne was an Andalucian monk from South Manchester who
was belatedly cannonised when it was discovered that he had built the first
animal shelter - which later became known as Fox Base Alpha.  His real name
was Charlie.

A co-worker of mine mistakenly - through stupidity rather than abstrusity -
referred to B&S as Sebastian & Geoff, which defies all logical explanation,
although it would make an interesting name for a tribute band.  Speaking of
which, does anyone know of any B&S tribute bands in existence?

Did anyone see the marvellously pretending to be pissed Arab Strap on the Jo
Wiley show?  That guy could kill a karaoke competition with one verse.

Love and more love.

Neil
