The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance

Thursday, 23rd January 1998

Well it's a bit of a pisser that you didn't get the earlier message, but that's the information jollygooddonkeytrack for you; as fast as it is, it's slower than you think. And I think loads, me.

Hah! Richard Branson met with The Pube on a transatlantic flight to JFK on Monday night to talk about Ginger Productions doing Virgin Radio. Chris said he only wanted to do the breakfast show, but NoelEdmonds-features told him they were perfectly happy with Russ and Jonno. Evans and Branson were reported to have returned separately. And now Radcliffe and the boy Lard are taking over - huzzah! Wonder how long THAT'll take to get old....

I'm pleased because next month both Blur and They Might Be Giants are releasing new albums. What tidbit of emergent charivari has pleased you recently?

That pianist joke doesn't work so well when it's not written down. If you try to tell it you suddenly remember how bad you are at telling jokes, you realise the punchline won't be funny and about halfway through you wish you hadn't started telling it in the first place. Well, not you, me. Bugger.

May we remind you that refreshments are available throughout the flight. On behalf of the captain, we sincerely hope that you do enjoy your holiday and look forward to seeing you again soon.
