Oh I did ... In general I find Billy Braggs ability to produce 'something
you could mistake for music' roughly equal to Craig Charles' ability to
tell a joke. .. although he was passibly OK in Red Dwarf.

I understand folk singers sometime place a finger over their ear whilst
singing. Perhaps Mr Bragg should try that. I doubt it would improve his
singing, but at least it would stop him twanging that guitar ...

I don't think you could call Billy Bragg a folk singer. His more aptly
titled moniker of "Bard of Barking" is probably more representative of what
he does. Tells stories set to music. he might not be the best singer in the
world, but then it never stop Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix. each to their own I
suppose.

I've been told (*prays this is not true*) that SMG signed up for two
more series but has a clause that if Univeral Pictures produce it she
is not oblidged to do them (as apparently she didn't want to work for
Universal).

So, this could be an ending to make sure she and Univeral have
time to work it out...

i just hope I have been mis-informed.

Anthony Head said this morning on Live & Kicking[1] that Buffy will
definitely be back and that the change of network in the US would not effect
the BBC showing new Buffy (everyone involved was trying not to mention the
rival Sky).  Obviously, this is just his opinion but it adds to the rumour
mill.

Wednesday morning, series creator Joss Whedon (who wrote and directed the finale)
posted to the official WB "Buffy" board dispelling the hoax rumor. "'Buffy' will
be back next season starring Sarah Michelle Gellar ... Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on UPN,"
Whedon wrote. "How will we bring her back? With great difficulty, of course. And
pain and confusion. Will it be cheezy [sic]? I don't think so." Thursday, he
further laid to rest the hoax rumor, and revealed some plans for next season,
in an interview with TV Guide Online. Did you know that Giles is getting a BBC spinoff?

Interesting article, that. So's the one from earlier in the year when
Buffy's Mom [0] died.

Yeah, it was in NTK and everything. Although the URL is coming up 404
now. (Leon also put it in the weekly summary, and stuff.)

hey! you won't catch me performing some stupid historic ceremony, no siree.
however i could be persuaded to drink a lot[1] and demand to walk a 
stretch of road with a bit of orange material round my neck and a little
velvet apron round my waste - now thats a proper tradition! ;-) 

Greg

[1] that wasn't fair as most traditional orange men are christians and
coming from N.I. that generally means they drink very little, if at all.

nah Jonathan, you got it wrong, they were on the other side on CD UK or
some such. they were actually quite entertaining with cat deally, however
you spell it, with them. i think they got moved to prime time, which
probably will be a one season wonder. as for live and kicking it seems
to have gone down the tubes badly, there is some american bloke who
really has a persona that makes you want to ram his head repeatedly into
plate glass until you break through and it also has that tart (i say
that in an accurate way) from the karaoke show with suggs. now i remember
the good old days of live and kicking with sarah green and pete and simon

ahhh halycon days

I thought it was tying a piece of electrical flex around your kneck and
putting an orange in your mouth .. or is that a different tradition?

but I digress ... you've just reminded me of the Ali G episode when he
visited Belfast ...

My bet is that she got sucked through the portal into
the dark side and will get spat back out in 9 months
time or whenever the next series is.  Probably in a
pretty bad mood, angel will be all happy again and
Sunnydale will be back to normal, or as normal as it
gets.  Who knows?
