One note of dissent: I think Orange Juice's version of In A Nutshell could never be bettered. Or is this too dogmatic?
Perhaps if it were actually recorded in a nutshell, preferably by some squirrels with their cheeks stuffed full of the original contents of said nutshell.

Is it just me, or are some of the bunnies' batteries running a bit low? I know mine are. Still, I've been given a big bunny boost by the belated news that I finally managed to put Choo Choo Mitchell in his proper place by giving him a jolly good thrashing in the exciting Ivor the Engine competition. I don't know how many other people I inadvertently humbled with my encyclope (whoops, spelling problem - irony in action) dic knowledge of children's television, but at any rate it's the taking part that's important. I'm just off for a victory lap around my computer terminal. Trousers, once again I doff my trousers to you and your fiendish competitions. Obviously this one was much more difficult than the first. I've spent half the afternoon reading the backlog of messages and I've forgotten all the things I was going to answer, add to, distort, etc. Whoever was asking about videos - Andy Dean's ever increasing Belle and Sebastian archive contains some stills from the videos, including one of Stuart Murdoch dressed up as Quentin Crisp, and some people painting lines lazily. I think he was intending to put the full things up in Quick Time video form or something. Andy, am I right or am I wrong? In the meantime, anyone who hasn't seen it can get to Andy's site via Paul's site (below) or David and Katrina's fan club site, where Mister Dean is referred to as "a lovely person". I apologise if this subject has been covered in my absence. The videos, not the loveliness. Do you like my new flat? I am now the proud owner of two new flatmates, so I think it is my duty to try and convert them to Belle and Sebastian. I will also try and get them to write messages to the list. From the looks of things we will soon have the entire population of Spain signed up. Once upon a time there were only two of us We have painted the flat very unprofessionally but I like it better like that because it is now a part of us and us a part of it. That doesn't mean to say we won't try and do it better next time, or that professional painters and decorators are all bastards, but.... And we set the step ladders up in a funny U-shape and swapped rollers every now and then. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
