Sinister: digeridoos and toilet attendants. you know, the usual. oh and a plea

[Robert Brennan]

Hey ho!

Nine day weekends are cool especially when you've got
nothing to do except get drunk and finish all those
books you meant to...

The USS Enterprise is off the shores of this little
town right now.  I wondered around town fully
expecting to see Captain Kirk getting thrown out of
Yates' but apparently it's just an aircraft carrier. 
It contains sailors much like British ships except
they're more likely to complain about the lack of
anywhere to get a decent steak.

Another thing that recently happened here is the
opening of a place called Tiger Tiger.  These are
places with a number of different rooms all of which
sell the same overpriced bottled beers.  The discovery
of the night was that they have people who are paid to
hand me paper towels after I have just urinated and
washed my hands.  I wanted to ask him how it felt to
be paid to do the job of a plastic box nailed to a
wall but I guess you gotta start somewheres.  Anyway
it was shite.

The other thing that happened was I went to London. 
While browsing Waterstones in Covent Garden I came
across a new book signing.  I can't remember the name
of the book - something about ancient cultures' use of
resonant sounds in religous ceremonies.  Anyway, by
way of demonstration they had a man called Bear who
played the digeridoo.  He offered to play it at me
with my eyes closed.  Confident of having witnesses in
case he tried anything, I accepted.  It was a peculiar
feeling - sort of like a massage with sound. 
Unfortunately I was unable to come up with anything
particularly descriptive at the time so his demo fell
slightly flat and my mind remained un-expanded.

I've not heard JD yet but I believe Swells speaketh
the truth in all matters B&S so it must be wank.  Oh
look just ignore him.  He'll get bored and go away.

James Thorniley said a lot of unpleasant things about
Starsailor.  GOOD ON YER BOY!

Quick appeal:  Any London listees going to RAH able to
offer a fellow twee human a sofa or floor or nice soft
cushion for the night?  I don't take up much space and
I'm quite easy on the eye in the mornings.  Please
drop me a line off-list.  Or if you know of any all
night club type dos after the gig.  Or if you just
have something nice to say.  Thanks.

Have fun everyone in Glasgow.
