Sinister: dan treacy in gaol?

[David Giordanella]

   Hello friends,

i must've been very naive or lived all these years on a desert island (it's 
actually paris & it's not that uninhabited shall we say) but little did i 
know that this great songwriter dan treacy, leader of the television 
personalities, had been sent to gaol... i always thought that the man had 
been missing since he was last spotted in a launderette a few years ago, and 
i was scared that he'd never to be found ever again... hope that he'll 
recover soon & that he'll tour europe again- why not sing & play "sad mona 
lisa" whilst in paris, what a tremulously poignant song!

on a lighter note, a fortnight ago i visited the "original scottish pub in 
paris" i.e. "the auld alliance" in le marais- paris, & as soon as i set foot 
the smiths were playing on the stereo, it was a whole compilation but sadly, 
when it ended, whereas i hoped for a belle and sebastian to keep the 
pleasure running, the irritating police arrived (the group, not the cops- 
inane joke sorry lolllll)

later on,when i went to the men's urinal, as i was doing what every 
gentleman's supposed to do there- needn't draw a diagram, do i?- an elderly 
american man asked me if i was a doctor...

have you ever spoken to a stranger from one urinal to another, that 's a wee 
weird...

he thought i was one because i had washed my hands beforehand, to which i 
retorted: " i'm only a belle and sebastian fan, which equates to the same 
thing..." a very strange piece of conversation indeed... well then, maybe he 
was only trying to chat me up...

next time i'll show'em my red knickers to a deafening silence...

              à bientôt- davey de paris
