*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* I have finally recovered form the "monday high" I seemed to be suffering... I do, however, now posess a possibly unique piece of b&s memorabilia, an "Arab Strap" poster, signed (natch!) by the band, Some of the List Members (including such *superstar* names as honeypaul , keithy, tag, oon and loads, loads more) I also got the signatures of David, Katrina and Mark from Jeepster, Snow Patrol, Looper, some of the rest of the audience, most of the staff at the hall, and...... Isobel's Aunt (Top Autograph fame hunt!) So, In an amazing moment of magnanamous generosisity, I decided I'd give the thing away to a worthy cause... Hence the Competition.... I sat and thought about how to get rid of the poster, and decided to steal an idea from Radio 1. So, The person that comes up with the story (or poem or whatever) containing the most belle and sebastian song titles (and, if you feel like it like, albums/EP's , but there's no pressure) will be the proud owner of my poster. simple really. just in case you're still lost as to the concept,here are the words you've got to work with....

Seconds of Light Just make something up using as many of these words as you can, simple really. Silly Rules bit: 1) Marks will be awarded: one mark/reference. 2) The winner will be the deemed to be the person with the most marks (doh!) 3) In the event of a draw, I'll probably give a couple of "bonus marks" for "artistic intent" or something. 4) No-one that currently sleeping with me can win, but since no-one's currently sleeping with me - that's OK. (see rule 8) 5) The Competition will probably close sometime around the end of September, (the 30th, if you'r pressing me for a date!) but If no-one writes in ten I'll get bored and find some other way to give my poster away..... 6) There is NO RULE 6 7) If I say so, then it's true. (in the context of this competition, at least.) 8) ANYONE CAN ENTER. 9) Just in case you didn't get rule 8. - You're best mates girlfriend's brothers, dogs, mates, owners, son can send me an e-mail, and if it's got the most songs - He wins. No catch, No fuss, no Muss, not just for Listees (but it helps;-)) 10) I'll even pay the Postage..... (International, too! - hey sez - you listening?) 11) This is not the same as Chris' Competition. This one has more rules. And his prize is better. How to Enter :- Send me your stories! (doh!) DON'T SEND THEM TO THE LIST!!!! - unless, of course you think that the list'll be interested. But this kinda thing gets wearing after a while (are we _finally_ out of list songs?) and I'll probably appreciate it more. Calumn "whadda you mean *zany*?"
