Does anyone have this on tape and is willing to lend it for a day? Blank
tape plus original offered as payment.

TIA
Paul B.

Is it just me or does anyone else keep mis-reading the "r" as an "n" in
her name? Even after the initial double-take I still keep seeing it. I
don't even really know why it happens, I mean it's not as if "Kinsty"
makes any sense.

Another mystery is why she keeps popping up at the start of
arts programmes, only to vanish thereafter. She was "on"
the Syd Barrett program the other night, dressed quite
smartly, standing in front of some London building at
night, as if on the way to the theatre, brightly telling
us what almost everyone knows about Syd, for about 30
seconds. Is it the visible symptom of some life-and-death
struggle with Mark Lawson for mastery of the arts?

Oh, _that_ 'r'. (-:

I don't have that problem, but then again I've known a couple of
Kirsty's IRL which might help.

Hi Paul

Fear not, according to the openuni website the show will be rebroadcast
during the week...... I managed to cach it although I was banished to my
son's room to watch it as it clashes with Corry.

Follow the link below for nice supporting website and further links.

Cheers

Kev

Whereas the Spoonerised version of Jill Dando used to make quite a lot of
sense.

I have a similar problem with Mary J. Bilge. Whoops, there it goes again.

I vaguely remember reading that she owns a production company. Hmm, I
wonder if that company makes arts programmes? I wonder if she gets paid
a fee for appearances in those programmes? Or perhaps "Wark
Productions" is invoiced by "Kirsty Walk Limited", another company from
which its principal shareholder only draws equity? Use your imagination...
