Wavelength – 2006 August 13th You’re a winner or you’re a sinner

“You’re a winner or you’re a sinner”. Evangelist lay preacher recorded at Piccadilly Circus + “Flak” by David Jackman. This lay preacher was a fixture at Oxford Circus for many years, relentlessly preaching to the crowds through a portable megaphone. His mantra was “You’re a winner or you’re a sinner” along with other rhymes. This recording on a Walkman cassette recorder was made at his later site on Piccadilly Circus. I haven’t seen him at either location for at least one year.

From the Tour of Britain we hear the latest news from the Rapha-Condor-Recycling team and a protestor from Climate Camp who has something to say about energy company E-on’s sponsorship of this year’s Tour.

Hooting Yard : Lugubrious Dismay

Without wishing to generate further controversy over what is, in any case, a pointless and trivial matter, I should add that I have recently completed a lengthy work, at fifteen volumes just one book short of Sabine Baring-Gould’s Lives Of The Saints. It is a comprehensive study, with lots of illustrations and diagrams, of all Dobson’s known and suspected hats. I conclude that not a single one of them was lined with lead.
