Did I like the skull cap?
Extensive academic research into Sensitive Outsider taught me that the tennis player scratching her bum in that poster was called Samantha, something it’s probably very important to know. I wondered if the curse of HMHB had been bestowed upon Athena, but they do still have some shops, apparently, even though they’re still trading off that picture, bless ‘em.

Hi – regarding Sensitive Outsider – here’s another entry for pedants corner – Saint Martins should I believe read St Martins ( St Martins in the Fields is the reference I think ) and Ten Thousand Maniacs should read 10,000 Maniacs the american band.
I’m getting as pedantic as Raddy Antic
regards

In the verse that starts “Faked my way through Glastonbury”, I remain to be convinced that Nigel is singing “that’s not Enya”. I have always heard it as “that’s not in yet”, which seems to fit (pardon the pun) within the context of the sexual awkwardness that a sensitive outsider might display. Some of my best friends are sensitive outsiders.

Murray,
Hmm, interesting theory. I can’t see it in the acoustic tent at Glastonbury, though, can you?

Speak for yourself, Neil G!
I’ve often displayed sexual awkwardness in the Acoustic Tent. or more accurately The Red Flag bar just down the track.
I’m sure it’s Enya. Isn’t she another muse?

Well if that’s not enya, instead of look that’s not enya, I think.
