Hello again you lot. Martin Connelly has been encouraging alcoholism by sharing tips on how to conceal your drink in your anorak. Similarly, but encouraging failure in exams, during lessons you can do what I used to and make your school jumper work for the way it pains you to put it on every morning, by passing the wire from one side of the headphones to your personal stereo under your jumper sleeve. All you have to do now is pull your sleeve down over your hand, rest your head in your hand and hold the earpiece up to your ear. You can even look at the teacher as if you're paying attention to what they're saying while you're doing this for the ultimate in innocent composures. I can't get over the sheer SATISFACTION of referring to anything to do with sch**l in the past tense. Marcus can't get to a computer at the moment, so I'm afraid you'll have to settle for hearing about the London oh-dear-where-HAS-the-summer-gone picnic from me instead. I'm sorry it has to be this way but no one said life was going to be fair, did they? So, the picnic: At the "a pain to climb if you're unfit but heavenly once you're there" top of Primrose Hill, as per usual, BUT meeting at Chalk Farm station beforehand. Read all about it with the aid of this nifty little link: http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/cgi-bin/mboard/belle/thread.cgi?399,0 I'll still be doing all sorts of cooling down things with ice cubes to prevent myself melting in this cursed (with an accent on the e so it's pronounced, thank you) heat at that time, so I won't be able to make it. I have, however, been persuaded to enter the "We're Belle & Sebastian fans, you see, so we simply must have chalets and pubs if we're going to be convinced to brave a festival" world that will be ATP. (Does anyone else have adenosine triphosphate flash before their eyes every time those initials get together? Just me then. Thought as much. A-Level Biology has *so* much to answer for.) If you're going to be at the gig/meet-up at the Betsy Trotwood the night before the festival frolics begin, then, I'll see you there. I have nothing more to report but lovesickness, so that will be all for the moment. Natasha xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
