Sinister: "like a little condom"

[Miss Cressida Jane Darwin]

i just remembered a couple of things i don't *think* other 
people mentioned about RAH!. 

struan gently chiding stevie for only turning up a couple 
of minutes after they were due onstage. (surely i wasn't 
the only one wondering if he had got lost backstage in a 
spinal tap style?) struan responding to screamed requests 
of "stars of track and field" with the quip "we've got an 
athletics team up there." stevie insisting he was "alright 
on the deep ones… i like it on the deep ones .. know what I 
mean" just before "the wrong girl". struan's comparing 
richard's high-tech glass surroundings to a "little 
condom". 

despite the acoustics, it was a great gig. so, a special 
vote of thanks has to go to mark cassarotto for selling his 
spare standing ticket to me.

apologies for not making it to either picnic, but it was 
great to meet so many lovely people at both friday and 
saturday gigs. those turning up at strange fruit could have 
been treated to my uncanny impression of caroline aherne at 
an awards ceremony. apparently struan was watching us 
dance. i imagine that was with a look of abject terror. 
still, lets all be thankful that stevie hadn't mentioned at 
that point that he wanted babies. it could have been *much* 
worse.
