Sinister: fleas, markets and trousers

[Mark Hester]

Gary Maher: not just 'you americans' but 'we brits' refer to those 
biza...sorry bazaar thingies as flea markets.  But does anyone know why?  
I've certainly never come away from one itching.  I heard once that the 
fleas that infest humans are all descended from the deer flea.  Which does 
call into question the habits of our ancestors.  See, it could have been far 
worse, Ken, your father might have suspected that you had illicit carnal 
relations with Bambi.

Liz: I, too saw those trousers in Parks Road, but in my case curiosity got 
the better of me and I *did* actually don them in the hopes that they were a 
portal to another universe.  I was not disappointed.  This new universe was 
identical to the one we inhabit in every respect, with one small exception, 
nobody but nobody drew on the faces of wet, sleeping picnickers.

For those coming to the Oxford picnic....the University Parks are utterly 
devoid of umbrellas!  The next record-breaking attempt will have to wait 
until the next Greenwich one I'm afraid.

Now, who took those pictures......?!

Mark.
