Sniff. So long Tim and I agree with every word you say. Please everyone take note of Honey's pleas and don't argue about it on the list. He does a smashing job of running the list and tends to know best about how these things should be done. I like to think of him as the archetypal benevolent dictator.
The best way to take care is to try to make sure that *every time* you post, you put a bit of wit, or a bit of heart into your message. Then everything will be just dandy.
Wise words indeed. If only T'Pau had launched their career with 'Heart and Wit' things could have been a whole lot different. "WeeJay" wrote:

What's this - swots on Sinister? I found it hard enough to cope with Keith being a prefect, but this takes the biscuit. I had a dream last night. I was at a B&S concert and Stuart M bounced up on stage with a 'new look', modelled on Christian Bale in 'Metroland'. Isobel was ill so he took the vocals for 'Is it wicked not to care?' and made a real pigs ear of it. No one whispered 'That was gorgeous' in his ear. Isobel made a late appearance, but boy she was looking rough. Should have stayed in bed. Did I miss anyone mentioning the bit in Melody Maker where it said "Belle and Sebastian have contacted the MM to apologise fot their late appearance at Shepherd's Bush" etc.? Stuart M. said there were still planning to do the boat tour at some stage, but that boat owners had worried what pop fans might do to their vessels. I don't know why that sounds pervy. Anyway, Stupot said they had nothing to worry about as we were all "sweeties". How kind. I felt like cutting it out and sending it to that journalist who seemed to believe that the delay was all on purpose and 'very Belle and Sebastian' with "So ner" written in big letters. By the way - nil points to Stuart for taking back what he said about National Park. I liked the idea of blaming it all on them and their idiot drummer, because they were rubbish. I seem to remember Katrina telling us not to miss them 'because they're good'. Hmmm. Nick xxx _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
