Kay's catalogue of errors

In 1998 the Trouble teen satellite channel ran a filler programme called Vern'n'Laverne, wherein our Lauren and the then little known Mr Kay bantered for a couple of minutes with a variety of props. Nobody asked for a reunion, but at 4pm there it was, Kay trying far too hard as usual, plus Radcliffe reliving his helicopter trip from this time last year. Nouvelle Vague were in the studio playing well, the Kaisers were on stage with what seemed to be a slightly dull mix. Ricky tried, bless him, and put one in the eye of the Independent writer praising Pete Doherty for such today by successfully crowdsurfing. This evening Colin and Edith have had a varied selection of guests alongside Tom Chaplin swearing - Ian McCulloch refusing to watch himself and so going off to discuss Liverpool with Colin instead, but not before muttering oaths in Edith's direction about Man Utd, a spectacularly ill-kept David Tennant and Leigh Francis - no, not Avid Merrion, the actual Leigh Francis, no more likeable but nearly pleasing. Nobody thought to ask why Interpol's bassist had turned up as an apprentice Nazi.
