Huh. Didn't she just play a thinly-veiled version of Anna Nicole Smith on one of those "procedural" shows? That was the first I'd heard of her in a long time... she'd just had a kid, I think.

You also have to read it from the bottom upwards... Joe (formerly jmbc back in the late 90s early 2000s) "Tell Guy I don't know about legendary, but we are one and the same. Now retreated into a world of bluegrass flatpicking... and reading the cricket while I practice my scales. Living near Islington so curious about your gig. I checked out myspace but there are several Sam Lyons... until we know which is you it's a little unfair to dismiss your musical prowess."?Andy Metcalfe in the TMS inbox Well I'm more than a little coy now I know that a living legend is curious Andy, but I'm the Sam Patrick Lyon one... 1813 - 91-1 Chris Gayle continues to examine Strauss's cut technique, but the opener can't get one away and it's a maiden. 1810 - 91-1 Strauss kicks off the over with another flick off his pads for three - you can't bowl there Corey. But Collymore looks more threatening against Vaughan, who almost gets himself in trouble with one that zips over the stumps, stumbling and slipping a bit in a 'You've Been Framed' fashion, before recovering his balance and offering Colly a winning smile. Isn't that nice. 1807 - 88-1 Bit of a surprise from Daren Ganga, who turns to Chris Gayle's off spin to break the partnership. Nothing too worrying for Strauss and Vaughan, who pinch three from the over to bring up their 50 partnership. "Is this "Andy Metcalfe" (the gig enquirer) the legendary Andy Metcalfe who played bass with Robyn Hitchcock, The Soft Boys and doubtless many others? If so, I think you might be out of your league musically, Sam."?Guy, Leighton Buzzard in the TMS inbox "I'd like to hear about the woman who was arrested on the date - did Dave H have to put up bail? Did he just sit there in the restaurant after she was taken away? How could you style that one out?"?Mark, Walthamstow in the TMS inbox 1804 - 85-1 Strauss notches a couple with a tuck behind square, before a thick outside edge falls short of Devon Smith at second slip. Further agony for Collymore off the last ball, Vaughan flashing at a wide one but, again, the edge falls short of the slip cordon. "I once hopped off a tube at Earl's Court as the doors were closing to chat up a dishy guy on the platform. We went on a date the next day... But turned out he wasn't a cricket fan."?Helen Abbott in the TMS inbox 1759 - 82-1 Powell, in his 10th consecutive over, keeps the ball wide of Andrew Strauss's off-stump as the opener looks for the two runs that will bring him his half century. And he does it with a punched three through the covers, and the relief is written all over his face. Let's hope that's only the start. Powell finishes the over with another jaffa past Vaughan's outside edge - the trouble being that the occasional jaffa is surrounded by a lot of dross from the tourists. "Met my girl at a whisky tasting - she was there with her husband. We're still together, happily, after 10 years."?Mike, Vilnius in the TMS inbox 1754 - 79-1 Some suspicion among my colleagues in the office here that we might just get play all the way up to 1900 BST, with the weather looking better than it has all week at the Riverside. Maiden over from Collymore. "Are you avoiding telling us about your gig? Where exactly/what do you play/name of band if applicable etc. You mentioned it, so I think we deserve the details..."?Andy Metcalfe in the TMS inbox Joe Cushley Hack and luvvie.

Why thank you good sir. Alas there were no Laotian trannys or strip club visits; instead I spent Helen Hunt's birthday driving away from the shithole that is San Francisco and back to my tony enclave in San Jose. And just like me, Helen Hunt is getting a bit long in the tooth. If you're looking for a similar yet younger version of her, might I suggest Megyn Price? She was (is?) on that comedy "Rules of Engagement", where she plays Patrick Warburton's wife. I swear she has the same voice as Ms. Hunt, and is very pleasant on the eyes.

Jones There are some great places to go, but getting anywhere "on foot" sucks. The sidewalks are disgusting and every two feet there's a junkie/crackhead/mentally impaired street person asking for money. It's just sad that in order to enjoy the heart of one of the greatest cities in the world you have to insulate yourself from the outdoors. - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2007 23:34:03 -0000 (GMT) From: "Melissa Higuchi" Subject: Re: And an almost-belated happy birthday to... >> -John "San Francisco is a shithole?????" Jones yes, downtown SF is a weird mix of shiny and grimy. I can see both the big shiny mall and panhandlers from the window at work. When we were looking for places Paul looked at one in the Tenderloin (not recommended). He decided against it not so much just because he saw someone smoking crack nearby but because it was 10am on a Sunday and they were just settling in on the sidewalk their camp chairs with their portable tv. Mostly the panhandlers don't bother me but I've seen them hound people and follow them down the block. melissa ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #241 ********************************
