Sinister: chicks, sucking and rock

[Tim Hopkins]

Hello chums, and welcome to the working week. I know it won't thrill 
you, I hope it don't kill you. 

I have a very important spelling test in just seven months time and I 
haven't started revising yet. Ulp!

Anyway, on to business.

Ah yes, I have heard of the famous Leamington Spa chick kicking, 
which happens every spring to celebrate fertility and stuff like 
that. 

The first person to fully dismember a cute little easter chick wins, 
and is crowned world champion chick kicker, and gets to go on a tour 
of West Midlands beauty spots (Dudley and Walsall)in an open-topped 
hen wagon. It's truly beautiful. 

I remember the upstairs front window of my school bus splatting a 
crow once, right in front of where I was sitting. That kind of thing 
twists a boy. 

Incidentally, if you're looking for fine tourist resorts, I hear 
Hartlepool and Scunthorpe are nice this time of year. I can also 
recommend finding yourself in Alfspiddle, but that joke may simply be 
too Two Ronnies for words. 

[Mark], I love your square brackets. Can I borrow them?

Blowie Sucks? Which chalet is *that* happening in?

Enough of such smuttery and low talk. This afternoon, ladies and 
gentlemen I have proof of what we all suspected all along. The Duke 
of Harringay is a Goth. Tag knows it:

And the Duke of Darkness himself admits it:

Can I still have a copy of your limited edition literature, Dukester? 
Or have I clotted my boppybook? Rotted my poppybook?

The Lord of the Manner went on:

Errr...listening to the Pastels? Sucking on the Pastels?

Yeah. Beck courts imperfection by deliberately leaving out anything 
resembling a worthwhile tune from his records. It's a fascinating 
cultural phenomenon. The best part of any Beck record is the locked 
groove towards the end where some guy goes 'click, click, click' 
forever.

Shan't. If I'd wanted to listen to a bunch of hopeless hippies 
playing arse space rock I'd  have been listening to Pink Floyd all 
these years. Or The Verve, who I saw five or six years ago and who 
played arse space rock. It was horrible. I hate rock music and I 
trusted a hippy.  

Once. Huh. Never again.

Give me B*witched anytime, over the overwrought meanderings of sweat 
stained Serious Young Men. Or old men, for that matter.

Opposing all Rock 'n' Roll,
