Sinister: Cal's Crazy Caption Compo

[Claire Timmins]

aw man.

why cant i get to see the photos. im sure there is one of me there but this 
poxy pooter seems to censor anything that would class as enjoyment.

my spies tell me that they used pencil mics on TOTP and had wars with Tom 
Jones, he didnt like their 'style' he said. Paying homage to Shaky isnt bad 
style, just nice. Sorry kids but it aint live these days, they recorded it 
last night. sorry.

congrats to nick dasterdlyoor for including PC's albums sooo cunningly in a 
previous mail. I was going to do that for someone in this mail but im too 
hungover to think right.

Cant believe you idiots mention a sheffield picnic the day before I leave. 
cant you see it was destined for two weeks ago. sigh.

edin. 10th june.
whose going?
mr c?
