Sinister: When I am king, dilly dilly, you can be queen

When I was just a little boy, I had a motorbike sticker album. I used 
to spend all my pocket money on motorbike stickers, fascinated by 
the sight of all these men in rubber suits, pulling their throttles and 
whizzing away. Once, I accidentally stuck one sticker in upside 
down. I thought this was very funny, because the man was riding his 
bike, but, like, upside down! So, I stuck in all the other stickers I had 
upside down too! After a day or two, the sight of upside down 
motorcyclists somehow didn't seem that funny anymore and I 
realised I had made a terrible mistake. So I gave up collecting 
stickers and threw the album in the loft to join my Johnny Ball 
Chemistry Set and Beginner's Magic - 100 Easy Tricks. Easy, my 
arse. There's a moral in this I think. No, actually I just think I'm 
stupid.

I missed Steve Lurpak last night. But that's no loss really, I can 
never listen to him without being distracted by the thought of his 
funnily shaped head. I looks like it's made out of cardboard. 
Whatever he's saying all I can hear is "Hi I'm Steve Lamacq, I've 
got a cardboard head". It's terrible, really.

Er, bye
