I think what the Queen was referring to when she babbled on about there being �dark forces at work in the land� was the drink known as Aftershock in all its nefarious varieties. Still, it made hooning around to indie music of varying quality a much more carefree experience than it might otherwise have been. I was merely hanging on the coattails of mr phonics and a b�day celebrating mr nicoll, post-drinking session with ms how-I-lie, and all were in fine form. As long as I now get 36 hours sleep and a complete change of blood, I�m sure I�ll be bright-tailed and bushy-eyed for work tomorrow.
