hi everyone... well, Independence Day is upon us here in the states. and i'm sitting here thinking.. big whoop. if we had never overcome the British i would be sipping on a Ribena right now and i wouldn't have to shell out so much dough for imports... cos well, they wouldn't be really be imports then would they? I recently spent 3 weeks in the u.k. where i quickly developed a ribena addiction. maybe you take it for granted or even hate the stuff... but i love it and you can't get it in america! or anything like it! i even emailed Ribena and pleaded with them to start selling it over here. i know it's supposed to be bad for your teeth and all, but boy oh boy is it good! and oh yeah, in case those of of you who live in the U.K. didn't know, your Cadbury's chocolate bars are ten times tastier than the cadbury products they sell in the U.S. i wish i knew why. anyhow, enough about sweets. funny thing... i was walking by the record store sorta near my house and in the window they have a big fishyclap display... it looks as though someone took the time to copy the drawing from the cover onto a big cardboard cutout.. or i dunno, it at least looked like someone made it...anyhow that was against the window and hanging behind that there's a big piece of clear vinyl that says Belle & Sebastian and then there's a cut-out of the cover of fishyclap again. then behind all that there are a bunch of promo posters. anyhow... if you look at it from across the street or if you just whiz by it quickly on a bike, the big vinyl part looks like a shower curtain.. and i thought wow -- that's really neat! i'd like to have a b&s shower curtain! but alas it's not. anyhow.. i'm happy someone took the time to make such an elaborate window display. that's really nice to see. (if anyone wants to mail me some ribena i'd happily send you someting very nice in return... compilation tapes, little paintings, drawings... i'm willing to negotiate!) <3 kg __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
