Hi everyone!

what's Sarapoly?
Saropoly: catalogue number 50 in the great Sarah records discography... Saropoly was a board game in which you pretended to be a record company mogul dashing around a 'virtual' city of Bristol (ie a folded out drawn map thingie) collecting all the items essential to make a loverly Sarah 7" single in a plastic bag. How quaint. It was a lot of fun actually, but only, i suspect, if you got the jokes. I guess if you played it now you'd be going 'huh?' a lot. And not laughing. But we laughed because we played it in the sun and we are old. ha ha. i too had two copies but one became a prize in the first Tangents bumper competition and was won by, um, someone in America who wanted to play it with her sister and parents. How quaint. It didn't mention Belle & Sebastian, but i feel that a Belleopoly would be a rather spiffing idea as part of the promo doo-dah thingy ideas. Play as one of the members of the band as you traverse Glasgow, splashing along, through George Square, trying to dodge the raindrops, like Billy the Whizz. Ahem. And trying to get your shopping done, and trying to avoid NME journalists. If you play as Chris you have the extra added burden of trying to find a copy of Tigermilk to replace the one you gave away. You could try and find Elvis (and tell Scully to come home if you see him while you're at it), cook some brocolli, do all the things that Pop Stars do. Or not. keep the faith chums, the duke PS: Prize to the first person to spot my artfully slotted in Pop reference. -- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ Tangents On-Paper: PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@mail.zynet.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
