Sinister: waiting for the moon to RI:SE

[robin stout]

Hullo,

I almost phoned up RI:SE to ask Richard if b&s have ever considered writing 
a song about snooker, which could be played at the end of the World 
Championships when they show a compilation of all the funny mishaps that 
have occurred, like the time when a pigeon flew onto the baize just when Ian 
Botham was about to hit the ball.

You see, if I'd got a B for music GCSE instead of a C, I would write a song 
like this myself. It's a surefire way to pop stardom. It'd be played on 
telly at least once a year, guaranteed. I'd write a song all about Michaela, 
the beautiful World Championship referee...

I position my cue,
She polishes my balls,
Then I shoot into the hole.

Michaela my dear,
Won't you come round for tea?
I'll give you a bacon roll.

It's a missed opportunity, for sure. Richard's bound to be up for it, too. 
I've often seen him wistfully chalking the ends of his drumsticks, a tear in 
his eye for what might have been. I reckon someone should start an internet 
petition to "Write a song about snooker - do it for Richard!"

Did I ever tell you how great Desperation Made a Fool of Me is? Did anyone 
take part in the I'm A Cuckoo video shoot? Report back, people!
