I can see a D*A*I*S*Y age post coming, although I still need to do the promised Brian Wilson thing.<BR/><BR/>Cheer up Spin, I never made it that far.

It was nothing like the Boat Race. On one occasion I couldn't remember if I was myself or my cat. On another I thought I could sense what everyone in the world was thinking.

I have been searching for floral shirts and shuffly drums and curtain fringes!<BR/><BR/>Yes, FN, but battering very quietly, so as not to disturb me.<BR/><BR/>I didn't like Terry Christian, P, until I realised he was the authentic voice of the proletariat against Amanda de Cabernet Sauvignon. And his alpha male antler fights with Lamarr were very funny.<BR/><BR/>The Neds, eh?

I think I was the only person in the whole of the UK who actually liked Terry Christian. But then I also liked Ned's Atomic Dustbin at the time, so my opinion probably doesn't count.patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-44992854853999646142007-10-05T16:54:00.000+01:002007-10-05T16:54:00.000+01:00all a matter of politics and patronage. that's why...all a matter of politics and patronage. that's why it's a good thing i took you under my wing.

I've had to get youtubing - a luxury I know you are not allowed - to see if I should still be annoyed at my De La Soul tape being nicked by some penny-pinching student.
