I can cope quite nicely indeed with the Thomas' tight Mariachi costume & wonderfully suggestive stage moves (more of this sometime please, Thomas ;) during this incredibly fun video, which I keep trying to watch with my eyes open. It's just... the scene in which you can... umm... umm... (deep breath)... okay... I simply have to get over my phobia of looking so brazenly up the legs of Thomas Dolby's undergarments in this video! i don't even dare to behold what else might be seen there! there I said it! And it doesn't help that I have a love of fabrics & textures... and the material of these particular boxies Thomas is wearing looks so wonderfully soft & luxurious, and lovely to touch... sensual overload for poor Robin!! Oh, and I have so much respect for this man's mind & he is so incredibly brilliant... it's just overwhelming... all of this must be combining to form the "Hot Sauce"shorts scene phobia I have.

In Boca al Lupo.. which is Italian for In the Mouth of the Wolf... Much the same idea.. Thanks for providing us all with such a visual narrative.. I was getting sore feet just reading!!

After Saturday's exercises we were lying 60th out of 63 teams, but after the orienteeering on Sunday we'd clawed our way back to 42nd. I'm quite proud of this, coinsidering our team was formed so late in the day. My feet are much better already, but I tried not to walk about too much today, and I DID manage to cycle in to work. Maurice (ex-Alloyite with whom I'm still in touch) asked me who ran this event. It was an organisation called 'Reivers of Tarset' which is a management training company, based close to the Kielder forest. I understand that historically the original Reivers were a band of brigands who used extortion and blackmail to make a living, and who lived in the area of Tarset which is a couple of miles west of Kielder Water. This was the 12th year of the Challenge. Slarv ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 21:20:04 EDT From: RThurF@aol.com Subject: Re: Alloy: issues...
