Oh No! I just got a message from the Glasgow Uni computer people telling me I get too much E-Mail.... So I'll have to go to the digest version.... Does this mean I won't get irrelevant stuff anymore (cos I kinda like that stuff).... And has anyone else from Glasgow uni (i know your on this somewhere) had this problem.... Cheerio, neil ------------------------------------------------- " if you're chasing the morning, if you're sleeping all day..." ------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I thought it was "Belle and Sebastian... on the radio... playing songs to learn and sing..." but hey, what do I know? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Neil - it's probably unlikely to be checking the actual amount of email you're getting, just there'll be a quota on the amount of Disk Space you're allowed to use, so a periodic clearout of your email is probably the solution (I graduated from Edinburgh, so this is just a bit of a guess), if this is the case then going to the digest version then it'll not help much (just a bit by removing headers from each email). I know the standard email accounts at Edinburgh had a quota of 1 Meg per student set. Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

At bloody last. I got the ep. Allow the debate was ages ago, I think my favourite song is Beautiful. Nobody probably wants to know this.

Sinister: Re: On the radio

Oh well. > >Ricky Here I am, just got in this morning to start a day's hard graft as a corporate library assistant (the worrying is that through a strange combination of circumstances and lack of courage this is actually something of a career choice) and I flick though my sinister-digest to find this. I agree that Stuart Murdoch missed a trick when he failed to pen this fantastic alternative. I couldn't stop myself laughing even when serious-looking middle-aged men from Supplies and Transport passed through the library and nodded their morning greeting. I know we've had this thread before, but don't you think it's odd that such a softly-spoken and not very raucous (rock beast Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie excepted) band as Belle And Sebastian should create such confusion with their lyrics? On their theme tune Stuart Murdoch seems to sing his F's like B's. As in: "Bella you are ill, you'd better take a weight up off your mind" and "When I was young you were the only bun in town" which hit a particular note for me since I used to call my only-just-ex- girlfriend 'Bun' on account of her surname being Bunney. What a wittering start to my first posting. I could have made a splash, I could have been a ink polaroid competitor, I could have been a whistle, could have been a clock. Instead I'm just a late entrant to the whole party, who missed out by having lost his ear for a phenomenon when he heard B&S so long ago on the Mark Radcliffe show but didn't look up from his newspaper, merely registering Judy and the Dream of Horses and thinking it a little twee.

Hi there! I was thinking, since the debate level is a bit low again, how about (since this list IS multi-national) having a "gallop pole" about how many people from different countries are on this list! Then we could exchange our travel (+why not musical) experiences from having visited these countries! (i know many of the Englanders have a lot to say about Greece anyway!) Let's go, i am starting off: Nicholas - Athens,Greece - 23 -Mastering in the History and Philosophy of Science.
