If the ball does begin to roll, I'd like to point out that what I wrote was intended to encourage others to at least join in. Some of what I scribbled down was completer cobblers, meant to provoke corrections or feverish defences of some aspect or other of Belle and Sebastian's music. Other things that I wrote I would be willing to defend to the ends of the indie earth. Let's just say that Mike Oldfield really shouldn't be there. If nobody else wants to play, I'd like the oppurtunity to rewrite it properly, hopefully following the suggestions of you lot, and then we could send it in as a joint effort. The 25 quid could either go to David and Katrina's computer appeal ot to hire a private mouse detective to look for Duke's missing cat. But I would definitely encourage others to have a go first. Somebody (probably called Paul) could either mix and match parts, or we could send in a load of ideas and let the professionals do as they see fit. Whatever happens I think it would be a shame to let this oppurtunity pass by. I shall sustain a huge beamer if we actually pull it off, so to speak. Does anyone (Katrina?) actually know the dates of their formation and so on? Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
