News from the House of Skelton

17 April 2006 Rob Buckley TMINE 4 Comments

Charlie Skelton (of Space Cadets, London News Review, Once More, with Feeling, etc) has dropped me a line to say hello and to let everyone know about his latest projects and some of his current favourite links:

Hi Rob…

…I thought you might be interested in:

i) thepooters.com, which is a ‘Pooterpedia’™ that Alan and I are putting together.

ii) one of the funniest things I’ve ever read on the web is: www.sneezefetishforum.org/forums – I’ll blog about it when I have the time. Between sneezes. (See if you can find the post about the German guy who’s put films of his girlfriend sneezing on YouTube.)

iii) I’m about to show L* S* [Charlie’s spoof food critic: I’ve removed the name to preserve the mystery] to the Observer Food Monthly, to see what Nicola Jeal thinks. Once I’ve posted up a thing about how you should use the spinach water and throw away the spinach.

Happy Easter,

Charlie

Charlie was also very flattered by one of this blog’s regular readers including Once More, with Feeling in her top seven list of books. To preserve some sense of mystery and a regular readership, I won’t say who it was yet. Keep reading and maybe I’ll reveal all.

PS: If you’re interested in what happened between London News Review and Paul Carr there’s a detailed explanation by Sean Walsh available for all to see. And then sue for libel.
