	This is definately the PAL version of the Singles File. All of
Australian TV and Video is PAL. Only overseas video buffs ever bother
with NTSC. In fact, Australia has a better TV resolution than the NTSC
system.  It's all much nicer to watch.

	[ Ah, but it also only has a 50Hz scan rate, instead of 60Hz,
	  which means it flickers.  -- |>oug ]

	By the way, the other day I was listening to The Dreaming with
some friends, and looking at the poster of the album cover on my wall.
I was wondering (and had previously wondered) what the cover meant.
Then came the second last song on the Dreaming, and all was made
clear. It is from the song Houdini, how his wife would slip the key to
his fetters and chains into his mouth when she kissed him.

	I just can't stand the way you lot go on about nicking off across
the Atlantic to see KaTe concerts. Arggh! It's so far from Australia to
England. You have made this Australian truly jealous (half your luck you
bastards!). Can't wait for the next album.

	By the way, any other Australians reading this? I cant seem to find
the tWS video anywhere. All that is available here is the Single File and
the Hammersmith video. Does anyone in Oz have a copy?

Anyway, enough said for now, see yas around
