How do we know that Geoff and Grant aren't really Peregrine Underfoot? Was that the name?

more the fact that I received a link on a mailout to a message board where the biggin' up of 'an usher clone' was not much appreciated. that it mentioned the company i work for just increased my curiosity. followed a few links and hey presto, here i am.

A thread about "Thimble Penis" or whatever they are called has become so overtaken by employees of the band's record company who have absolutely nothing of interest to say to the outside world. Don't you people have office e-mail systems to clog up ?

Who is Geoff? - and why is he 'ace'? - does he/she hand around with Snoopy and the Red Baron (2 of the finest WWI shoot gunner pilots of the biplane).

If they were around today they'd be in charge of jets.

I haven't P, will I have to order it from Hamazon?

I'm still coming to terms with the fact that you like The Rolled out Stoats. Believe me, it was hard to digestive. 'I am unable to get, du du, any more satisfactory produce la la la, la la du du bang bang shoot'.

Their collective age is higher than the eldest warlock in Lord of the Rims. 2.3 to the power 5. Which you think would make them slow down a little, no way, they're like bats out of hades on a machine to sing live in every bar and run-down cat house this side of Grimsby.

Saying that, although I don't know the name of the song, their last new song was quite good. And Mick Dagger sounded good because it didn't sound like he was making love when he was recording his parts.

Is Terry Nutkins still on the drums? - if so, surely there's a case that an exo-skeleton is on the loose?

Something for you to ponder whilst you enjoy your latte P.

His combination of Huntsmanlike irreverant wit and Rocket Micklike C.D. distribution is a winning combo.

I think snoopy's descendants have clearly been left in charge of some flying contraptions with guns and bombs attached. Rumours of Clunk and Muttleys involvement is thus far, uncorroborated.

Surely they have CD stores in that little town of yours, H, don't they?

My taste for Rolled Oats is not of recent vintage, H. Their last good record was released in the early 1970's. Surely they're not to be blamed for getting older?

Yes, I believe Barley Potts still bangs the drums. What I find hard to deal with is that Rod Upstart's former bandmate is part of the group now.

Who is this Geoff Hank? - its like the Usual Suspension Belts this now, which admittedly is very unusual.

Did you enjoy Man U taking a real beating last night?

P, our coastal village contains the following: 3 newsagents selling crisps and papers 1 extremely small tea shop (about 3 chairs come outside in the summer to entice the local) 1 fish and chip shop (who have notably turned to boxes to house their goods instead of the traditional newsprint - fools) 2 Chinese takeaways (both poor) 1 Indian takeaway (not bad, not bad at all) 2 Pizza takeaways (one of which is brilliant) 1 Joke shop 1 Cake shop 1 Chemist 4 Hairdressing salons (that's '4'!) 1 Train station (approx. 2 trains depart daily to the city) A great many smaller fishing vessels Several places to keep horses and such A cave where a warlock is rumoured to live

Unfortunately, we do not have: A video shop A record shop A cinema A decent taxidermist A night club Any fancy dress hiring facility A runway

So hopefully now you can appreciate how difficult it is for me to acquire goods.

I would never hold it against the Stoats for ageing, in fact, I quite like it. My only reservation is thus; they are a poor man's Beatniks, a tag they have never shaken off. Even with the advent of one, Yoke of Eggo.

So you do have a third-rate taxidermist, then?

Where do you rent your DVD's, which I believe you have described doing, H?

I never cared for the Fab Four, as I believe they were known, but surely that hoary rivalry can be forgotten.

Of course it can Pat, but I see McCartney is desperately referencing all the old gear as 'McCartwheel and Lennon'! - nice one Paul.

I think P McC has a bad press, he's quite a good egg (not that I know him). Just because he recorded the Frog Song doesn't make him an outright whimp. He couldn't have penned a more masculine ditty in my world.

We hire our movies from a rival town that has a supermarket and a few decent arcades. Although I do bang on about films it isn't that commonplace. I tend to rabbit on about a few choice efforts which may give out the incorrect messages, that we hire 50 a week. We don't. Once every other weekend is likely, although we did do the double this last week with One Hour Photography and Daniel Darkwind. One good, the other bad.

I spent as much of my time writing music. And I'm still writing that book, although it isn't full of gags.

Yes. :evil4:

Glad to hear you're still working on the book, H.

PM may be a good egg, but he grates on me. Not that I would care to spend any time with MJ.

Also glad to hear you're not really limited to that one row of shops. Next time you're in the mall see if they have Interpol.

That one row of shops is an excellent description of our available options.

'The mall'!? ... I'm afraid I haven't the time to drive into the centre of London.

I've heard Amazon supply a good product.

Nop!

I think I've become hard boiled in a torrent of patter which was aimed at provoking the BMG battles of yester-year.

I will leave it now, as I don't think anybody truly knows ... and really, is re-incarnation so bad?

Well, then, H, Amazon it is!!

I've had nothing but good experiences with them!

Wouldn't London be The Mall, rather than the mall?

yes, but i thought lower case would keep you guessing.

and then i couldn't decide which i meant.

a fluke, if you will.

Capitals are so ugly, when used incorrectly.

never Mind.

I'll check these mortals out, I know of a few record shops I can get to without too much walking ... what do you suggest, given I'm fond of New Order? - have they something like Throw Me a Bone?
