Hello once again,
In regards to selling out:
Remember back when Stuart, the bass player, left the band? ...to pursue his other artistic endeavours...
WOW! Who knew his mates would go on to become the Beatles?
If he would've stayed just a few months more, he would've become a millionaire and gone down in history as one of the fab five.
But instead he just croaked, right at the beginning of it all!
What an amazing story of irony!
That could never happen again.
History doesn't repeat itself like that.
I'd love to tell you all great new stories of the kiddies on my bus, but they're all behaving themselves now... and my job's become quite boring.
But I DO remember ONE thing from my previous job as a Telephone Triage Nurse for Columbia Hospitals:
A little boy called in one morning, weeping heavily and whispering something about his mother being pregnant... At first I thought he was sad at the prospect of having a new sibling steal all his attention. But why would he be calling a hospital? His mom was in the bathtub washing up, and he was in the living room crying and whispering so she wouldn't overhear. It turns out she wasn't pregnant at all. The pubescent boy had taken a bath just before her, and uh... discovered himself. He knew a bit about 'the facts of life' and put 2 and 2 together. Poor kid. I told him "Congratulations, you're going to be a father!" No, I told him not to worry...
And you know what?! It's a true story. But I didn't really hear it on the phone. Actually, that boy was my father! And my brother. And my uncle.
well.
hope that was entertaining.
have fun!

Boys have to be counted as scary too. Like the other day I had to go to the
shop for my mum. I parked my car on my wee village high street and stepped
out to go to the shop. I was wearing a skirt. not a short one, a
below-knee one, very decent and twee etc. I was promptly leered at by 4
rudeboys sitting on the bench outside the shop.
Maybe it should be 'rudeboys are scary'. Actually, 'townies' in general, if
you know what I mean.
Exhibit number 2:
'Scary girls'.
In my A-Level Art class, I just got in and I had my denim jacket on with my
twee B&S-badge turned obediently upside-down. This girl (the one who has a
penchant for 'banging choons!'...the one who frequently says (adopts
pseudo-London, lazy accent, although in Nottingham) 'Nah! Went ahhht this
weekend t' Isis, pulled a bloke, Nah!') promptly came up to me (I was
absorbed in pretty tree pictures,listening to Sinister on my walkman, and
said 'What's Belle and Sebastian?'. Needlesss to say, I just rolled my eyes
in a moment of confidence, and when that passed, I just ran away blushing.
I think someone else said 'Errr they won that Brit thingy didn't they?'.
Scary girls, all of 'em. I mean, who else would enjoy going out and
listening to 'trance' music every night, pulling a minimum of 7
highly-gelled blokes, buying new covers for their mobile phones and bringing
their laptops to school? Only scary girls.
I guess that just turned into a rant generally against 'them', huh? Sorry.
Oh, and sorry for lack of content. I just hate 'em. Them and their lack of
appreciation of twee.
Anyway.
Love, Katy.

I am very confused. Last night at the beach the girlfriend of one of my best
mates started flirting with me. Stuff like randomly putting her arm round
me, saying I was really sweet etc etc. Now I had never really noticed it
before, but she suddenly became very attractive to me. This worries me,
obviously as she is taken. I think. My friend and her may not even be going
out anymore, they never really spend time together or anything. Then today
as we were playing football at the park she came down and started talking to
these other boys she knows. I was quite *jealous*. Why? I am hoping I was
just feeling that way as she was giving me attention last night but not
today. But whenever she does give me attention I don't feel comfortable. Why
must girls be this way? Why must I be this way?
Sorry to bore you with my silly stories, but I'm bored.
Glen

THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL SWINDLE
B&S selling out, oh dear what will you lot think of next. Selling out is
not something you do by becoming popular, or famous, or rich. Selling out
is what happens when you start making music which you don't particularly
like just because it will make you popular, famous and rich. Last time I
checked, songs about being raped (the chalet lines) did not fall into the
category of popular appeal. I don't think we need to worry just yet.
SCARY GIRLS
yep, they scare the hell out of me. They used to scare me by being strange
mysterious creatures floating through the world as if they were on a
different plane of reality than me. I had an inability to talk to them and
they weren't too bothered by that fact. Now they scare me differently
though, They come and talk to me, try to sleep with me, just so much meat.
My girlfriend scares me most of all, I'm not used to being liked so much,
seeing someone smile just 'cos I've walked into the room. Its unsettling,
I think I might have to break it of with her, I don't want to be the focus
of attention, I'm not worthy of it and I'm not responsible enough to be
her dream.
FINISHING UNIVERSITY
Chris Paluch's last mail had stuff in about leaving uni in a few weeks, go
re-read it and then pretend that I wrote it 'cos that's what I would have
said if I was half as elequent as him. (now don't get big headed Chris)
speaking of uni I managed to hand in 30,000 words on friday so no more
coursework for me, ever. Just two exams and then I'm free to be...erm ...
unemployed.
GLASGOW ON SATURDAY
I'll see some of you there if I can get some money from somewhere by then,
believe it or not I'm due a grant check soon (yes they give me some of my
grant with two weeks left at uni and only two exams to do, I've been so
poor for the rest of the year) so If it's cleared in time I'll be there
with some lovely cake or something.
RANDOM LYRICS TO SHOW WHAT A COOL GUY I AM BY BEING INTO COOL MUSIC
I don't need to worry cos I wrote the end myself,
and there's no fame and fortune,
cos love scares them both away.
Damon and Naomi, 'we're not there'
THE DEATH OF HUGH GRANT
Well its been months since anyone told me I look like hugh grant so I
guess it wasn't true and I was right all along, I do look more like shaggy
from scooby doo. Strangely though I've now been told that I look like Ruud
van whatsit who Man U were going to pay 19 million for before his knee
disintegrated. Hey sir alex, my knee's fine, give me the job.
bye,
owen
With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in
a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon
