(TV) mail of the week and new Eagles horror

["Raymond" <ray@wavewalker.freeserve.co.uk>]

totally ! good man Martin ! hilarious and spot on in every respect!

imagine the shock recently when this month's Uncut mag fell through my
letterbox and there on the cover was a pic of our fine, titanium- nosed
,super-moustacheod pals Henley and co- even worse inside there was a (count
'em and weep) 12 page spread- unfeckinbelievable for a so-called cutting
edge mag i know (and yes my letter of protest has already been mailed )-
however on reading their "story" the full horror of the band was
revealed..... yes folks the Eagles can make even a tale of sex,drugs and
rock and roll soporifically tedious and boring

and of course their bass player is not even cute.......

btw Martin i'd get a copyright going on that card idea toot suite

later   R.

ps Steve Rovner for president ! help the man out replacing his collection -
i know i'll be doing the best i can !
