Sinister: Big city, bright lights, cool, cool people

[Mark Casarotto]

Oh fuck it, I haven't done any work today anyway...

	[Mark Casarotto]  Becky, is the Bournemouth bit to see an ailing
relative or something? I suppose bits of it are quite nice, but for real
kicks for chicks, get yourself to Royal Leamington Spa, Jewel of the West
Midlands (and it has JaMeS in it). Or Hull.

	[Mark Casarotto]  Bound to be, my friend, bound to be. And if you're
after somewhere to satay, there's a chain of Mongolian barbecue restaurants,
who used to do all you can eat for 9 quid or something.

	Boom, and indeed, boom.

	[Mark Casarotto]  Yes, I noticed that, too. Perhaps they're the
impromptu set in the Queen Vic that David promised in the Bowie details. Or
perhaps that's where Bowie himself is playing - I didn't see his name in the
line up either. Rock on, Starman!

	[Mark Casarotto]  I've got the vid Kevan, you can watch it in the
chalet if you like, um, when the girls are asleep...

	Katrina chipped in:

	[Mark Casarotto]  Fuck. Fucky fuck. If anyone can bring a mobile
key-cutting service I'll give them my spare Gentle Waves badge.

	[Mark Casarotto]  I have a bigger problem with songs that have been
taped with me which have jumps and skips in them thanks to the
well-lovedness of the original vinyl, which leads to embarrassing premature
commencement of the chorus and a rather bizarre interpretation of the words.
Hate My Way by Throwing Muses is about 20 seconds longer in real life than
on my tape, but cos I fell in love with it in crackly form, I kind of prefer
the jumps nowadays :)

	[Mark Casarotto] <snip> (sorry Steve :)) National Lampoon's Animal
House. This is an unarguable fact, like those big numbers you get on
calculators which help you calculate the mass of the universe or something
(did you know that 90% of the matter in the universe is unnaccounted for? I
have a few pet theories as to what it could be, but I'll shut up, I think).
How Tom Hulce hasn't got an Oscar on his mantlepiece for his sensitive
portrayal of - oh bollocks, I can't remember his fraternity name - well,
anyway, it's a travesty.

	Which reminds me - has anyone on this list actually been a frat boy?
What's it like? What was your name? What did you have to do for initiation?
Did you spy on nudie girls through dorm windows? Tell me more!

	God, I do go on, don't I...

	But seriously,
	Mark xxx
