Since it's been announced on every mailing list I'm on pretty much it might as well be mentioned here - KARAOKE at the KING OF CORSICA, from 8 30pm, tomorrow, come one come all.

The KoC is on Berwick Street in Soho, Central London.

And some people will be at the Blue Posts on Rupert Street beforehand.

AND anyone bringing a recording device this time will meet the same fate as Graham, i.e. we will cast a witchy spell on them to blur their gender forever.

(Those posters who want their gender blurred forever will have a spell cast on them that turns all their books into Nick Hornby and Martin Amis novels.)

I don't think I'll have the money for this, but I will be at Sussed next week.

If you worshipped me you would find pound notes everywhere

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That wouldn't be much use Mike, as pound notes haven't been legal tender since the early 80s.

I think they're still OK if you take them to the Bank of England. Have you noticed how much less talk you hear of Sir Christopher Wren since they were phased out. And yet curiously, knowledge of Latin has not increased since the coins came in.

― Nick, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Still legal here in Scotland! Mike, you are my God.

I suggest all get in karaoke training now. Sadly, no UK Garage tracks appear to be available.

Christopher Wren was on the old fifty pound note Nick, you must have been SOOOOOO rich as a youngster you merely spent them like pound notes. Or even worse, the cocky poor kids from Peckham of flats played an enourmous scam on you and you thought fifties really were quids, hence bankrupting your family and leading you into malnutrition and hence the skinny Dastoor we know and love today.

Isaac Newton was on the quid.

― Pete, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah. Well have you noticed that people don't talk about Isaac Newton much anymore, then? No, that just doesn't have the ring of authenticity. Well what can explain the lack of interest in Wren? Maybe it's just that I'm not at primary school anymore.

― Nick, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There was plenty of interest in Wren when the tourists on the 15 bus squealed and called St Paul's Cathedral "neat" yesterday evening.

Newton was pictured with a prism on his table, a prism that looked like a Toblerone if you had that kind of sense of humour.

we will cast a witchy spell on them to blur their gender forever.

Watch out kids, their (Sarah's, I presume. = resident ILE witch) spells are shockingly effective, and work retroacticely as well, as my gender was discussed months before Danfest Kareoke. (But they hadn't figured out that I don't mind being gender ambiguous (mmmm Stuart Cable). Either that or they decided I wouldn't really notice having both my books changed).

― Graham, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My favourite Toblerone was the glass ones you weren't allowed to eat but split white light into a spectrum. My dad explained that if you mixed all the colours together you get brown, so by using this magic toblerone they managed to turn white chocolate toblerones into dark chocolate ones. Call me Mike TV.

― Pete, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pete, do you want me to give you some LIUSA posters tonight? If not I'll leave a bunch at work, you see. My mail seems to be down so... either write to the amazingness address or tell me here... ta.

― Sarah, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No LIUSA posters tonight, I have a bag of flyers I want to empty but I've nowhere to put posters until Monday.

― Pete, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sir C.Wren wuz on TV last night: case dismissed

― mark s, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Surely the withdrawal of pound notes had *some* kind of cultural impact? And why haven't the Americans got rid of dollar bills yet? They're stupid and worth even less than a pound.

― Nick, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

dollar dollar bill y'all

what is LIUSA?
