Sinister: more rubbish

So did I...this presumably means that we'll have to put up with 
overpriced holiday camp swill, or that I've wasted my money on a 
chalet cos I'll just end up sleeping on the side of the road back 
from Rye each night, drool dripping from my mouth and binding 
together the sandy soil into an ungodly alcoholic mud. Maybe.

"Before the Romans came to Rye or out to Severn strode, the rolling 
English drunkard made the rolling English road". Do they mean me? 
Errr...dunno. Do I get a Poetry Society grant for that little 
recital, Trousers?

Sly...any teetotallers coming into the country who fancy bringing me 
one of those lovely big dutyfree plastic botles of gin they sell at 
airports?

Well, since you ask my opinion, I would strongly recommend none 
whatsoever, seeing as he's nothing more than a clever-clever 
smartarse with no ear for a tune and an unerring eye for self-
congratulation. If you want a Momus record, I'd recommend the 
shortest one.

HoneyPaul, who will smack my bottom sometime soon (*please*), asked:

>Tim, do you like Camel?

A question to which there are many answers:

1. Yeah, but I prefer Capstan Full Strength
2. Only if I'm well oiled
3. Only if he's well oiled
4. You calling me a hippy?
5. Ah, you mean the King of Combat? Well yeah, but I prefer the Pup, 
it's tweeer.

And so on.

I'd talk filthy reggae/ska, but it'd be naughty. Here goes. I can 
heartily recommend Lee Perry's 'Roast Duck' / 'Take Back Your Duck' 
pairing, more or less the entire repertoire of The Versatiles (their 
'Push It In' is a stormer) and Prince Buster. I like his dirty cover 
versions best - 'Big Five' (which is 'Rainy Night In Georgia') and 
'Wreck A Pum Pum' (which is 'Little Drummer Boy'). All of the above 
artistes also made politically conscious records which you could play 
round The Duke's house without being reprimanded.
King of the whole pack, though, is a little known version of 
'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head', by Keith and the Impact 
Allstars, which is too rude for words, and certainly too rude to be 
discussed in this forum. Come to think of it, that particular record 
may stray from the rude into the downright disgusting. Hm.

'Dr. Dick' is also a copper-bottomed classic, too. 

Let me feel it now
